Overview of MT financials In supporting MT’s business goals MT Finance faces market risks Refinancing risk Liquidity risk • HUF 400bn debt portfolio • HUF 650bn annual revenue • HUF 250bn EBITDA • HUF 80bn free cash-flow • HUF 70-80bn peak in annual financing need (dividend payment) FX risk Interest rate risk
Volatile interest rates – smoothened financing cost Average interest rate of the debt portfolio has been smoothened over time not reflecting the prompt fluctuations in inter-bank interest rates: • controlledaverage maturity • balanced fix-floater ratio No debtor can be independent from the market environment in the long run The best goal achievable is to smoothen the strong market fluctuations over time
Cautious level of Sound liquidity indebtedness position retained • In line with Magyar Telekom’s dividend policy we keep the net debt ratio within the range of 30-40% • The conservative approach made possible to manage the financing and refinancing needs even among market turbulences • Financing willingness of banks drop dramatically, but widespread connections with substantial Hungarian banks allowed us to raise necessary financing funds • Maturity structure has contributed to retain a strong liquidity position despite lack of liquidity on financial market
FX hedge strategy Cash-flow, P&L and balance sheet cannot be hedged at the same time; focus on cash-flow risk management • Significant part of our capex is EUR denominated • Smaller part of the opex is also exposed to HUF depreciation • Exposure is mitigated by dividend incomes from Macedonia and Montenegro and by some operating revenues Temporary fluctuations in P&L (e.g. translational effects) but no impact on CF
Lessons learned Responses needed from MT Refinancing risk Liquidity risk • Balanced debt portfolio • Maturity structure • Fix-floater ratio • Diversified financing sources • FX denomination • Stronger focus on cash generation • Sufficient financing buffers to be held • Enhanced counterparty risk valuation in investing transactions • Extended horizon of risk management FX risk Interest rate risk
