RELIANCE COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCED ITS Q3 FY09 RESULTS THIS EVENING HAD LACKLUSTER NUMBERS TO REPORT.
Reliance Communications (NSE: RCOM, BSE: 532712), formerly known as Reliance Infocomm, along with Reliance Telecom and Flag Telecom, is part of Reliance Communications Ventures (RCoVL). Reliance Communications Limited, founded by Dhirubhai H Ambani (1932–2002), is the flagship company of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group currently has a net worth in excess of 64,000 crore (US$13.6 billion), cash flows of 13,000 crore ($2.8 billion), and a net profit of 8,400 crore ($1.8 billion). The Equity Shares of RCOM are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and National Stock Exchange Limited. The Global Depository Receipts and Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds are listed on Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Singapore Stock Exchange respectively
It ranks among the top 5 telecommunications companies [1] in the world by number of customers in a single country. Reliance Communications corporate clientele includes 2,100 Indian and multinational corporations, and over 800 global, regional and domestic carriers. The company has established a pan-India, next-generation, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network that is capable of supporting services spanning the entire communications value chain, covering over 24,000 towns and 600,000 villages. Reliance Communications owns and operates the next-generation IP-enabled connectivity infrastructure,[2] comprising over 190,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable systems in India, USA, Europe, Middle East and the Asia Pacific region.
The Reliance Communication subscriber base according to COAI - Cellular Operators Association of India is over 105 million. This figure of 105 million is highly doubted by the industry experts:
Lets review the performance of Reliance Broadband and then run through the results. At the beginning of 2008, Reliance had wired up 787K building and providing 1 mn broadband access lines. At the end of 2008, the number is a dismal 892K buildings and 1.33 mn broadband access lines. Reliance Broadband has registered below average industry growth in 2008 – mere 33%. [74.12% as per TRAI, this means BSNL / MTNL have done an excellent job in 2008] Avg Revenue per Line has been stable at Rs 1,681.
Highlights from RCom Conference Call:
No Revenue Guidance but margins are expected to be stable in future.
To a question on discrepancies in reporting of numbers, the management is of the view that it was a campaign by rivals and it has handed over all the details requested by TRAI.
CAPEX of Rs 15,000 crore for FY10. FY09 CAPEX revised downwards to Rs 25,000 crore from Rs 30,000 crore. [We feel RCom will be unable to meet even Rs 25,000 Cr target and may end the year with Rs 21,000 cr]
RCom’s Optical fiber to inch closer to 200K Kms from the current 175K.
Reliance to launch IPTV in association with Microsoft
A question regarding the transfer of stake of Reliance Tower and Infrastructure Ltd and Reliance Globalcomm to a Reliance group company and back created some confusion as there was no clear answer. Hopefully management will come clean on this.
