IFRS 16

IFRS 16 Leases is the new accounting standard to cover lease accounting and replaces IAS 17 For TalkTalk the main area this impacts is arrangements within our network, e.g. Backhaul circuits, Data centres Certain assets are considered outside the scope of IFRS 16, e.g. space in exchanges, last-mile IFRS 16 is effective from 1 April 2019:

  • Expect to recognise discounted lease liabilities of between £215m-£225m (unaudited)
  • EBITDA to increase
  • Net debt to increase as it will include lease liabilities
  • Treatment of leases within capex and normalised free cash flow will be unchanged

Covenant calculations unaffected by IFRS 16 (continue under IAS 17) We won’t be restating FY19 under IFRS 16, and will provide numbers throughout FY20 under both IFRS 16 and IAS 17

Our Plan

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Market context validates strategy

A number of structural factors changing our market:

  • Rapid rise in demand for data; 30-40% year-on-year, of which 58% is video
  • Premium TV being replaced by growth of streaming services (e.g. Netflix and YouTube)
  • Businesses, as well as Consumers, using more and more data with rise of voice over

internet (e.g. Skype) and cloud services

  • Price and fairness really matter – regulators challenging traditional telco business models built on ‘loyalty

penalties’

TalkTalk well positioned to benefjt:

  • Scale in B2B and Consumer (barriers to entry are high)
  • Single minded focus on fixed connectivity, unencumbered by having to defend premium TV or mobile
  • Structural pricing advantage in both segments
  • Delta between front and back book pricing is minimal
  • Reducing cost base

18 18 TalkTalk Group PLC - Our Plan

There has never been such demand for reliable and affordable fixed connectivity

Your line is giving you connectivity problems. Upgrade to fibre broadband for a faster, more reliable connection.

Our health check’s showing that your line is causing connectivity issues with your broadband. It could be to do with how far you are from the exchange or the quality of the line. Your broadband uses older copper cables which can struggle to keep up with you and your online usage. There’s an easy fix though. By upgrading to fibre you’ll get up to 3x more speed than with your current plan, and because fibre uses modern fibre optic cabling you’ll enjoy a much more reliable connection too.

Fibre for Everyone - FibreNation

Full Fibre (FTTP) rollout is only viable where networks can secure high, fast take-up. With 4.3m customers, TalkTalk is one of a few providers than can use its position in the market to accelerate FTTP investment at scale Accelerating roll out plans; three new towns and cities – Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon Total footprint of over 100,000 homes in these towns and cities (including York) TalkTalk and Sky to continue to be wholesale partners of the new network In discussions with infrastructure investors on the right long-term capital structure to enable roll out to target of 3m homes.

Fibre for Everyone - Openreach

Openreach’s scale rollout is only viable if it can secure high, fast take-up from companies such as TalkTalk While FibreNation has a critical role to play, we want all consumers and businesses to enjoy the benefits of faster, more reliable connectivity We are therefore ready to be a wholesale partner for Openreach and other providers in the areas FibreNation does not reach Subject to fair, sensible pricing, we can provide scale volume commitments to Openreach

Outlook

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Looking forward, FY20 EBITDA growth with Headline EBITDA (including FibreNation costs) in line with market expectations

FY20 growth driven by:

Accelerated Fibre growth, coupled with modest base growth, benefitting revenue and ARPU, offset by Voice usage decline Regulatory and commercial tailwinds reducing Fibre Wholesale costs Lower cost to serve, as we benefit from the implementation of our ‘My Service Centre’ and a self-service model Lower central costs, due to our HQ move to Salford (£16m-£20m in FY20) Significantly lower FibreNation costs

Beyond FY20 - continued EBITDA growth driven by:

Increasing Fibre mix in the base, with shift to higher speed Fibre products, driving higher ARPU Fibre mix will also lead to reduced churn and lower cost to serve Further central cost reductions as we become leaner, more efficient business
