Synopsis
Telecom is New Zealand’s second-biggest listed company and their financial results and performance are dependent on several factors that include:
- governmental regulatory changes;
- the market listing of Chorus Ltd its infrastructure unit in late 2011;
- the rollout of the UFB/RBI in the coming years; and
- competition from other retail service providers in the UFB/RBI marketplace.
Telecom’s overall revenue growth has been negative since 2008/09 and this is likely to continue into 2011/12 even after undergoing operational separation. The split will allow the company to focus on gaining additional revenue and higher value returns over the coming years.
In late October 2011 the annual shareholder meeting resoundingly approved the vote to demerger the company into two – Telecom New Zealand and Chorus Ltd, with Chorus Ltd listing on the Australian and New Zealand stock markets in late November 2011.
