Top Global Communication Trends

Slide 5

Global Communications GAAP Summit June 2013

Communication Industry Top Trends

1) Smart connected devices to drive mobility trends

2) Mobility demand leading to data explosion

3) Despite new spectrum allocations, spectrum shortage may deepen

4) 4G/ LTE to catch up in emerging markets too

5) Increasing Profitability and Monetisation challenges for operators

6) Content becomes the king

7) M2M communication will grow led by China

8) M-commerce adoption will speed up further

PwC

Smart connected devices to drive mobility trends 1 Despite being in use for more than a decade, smartphones continue to experience robust growth. Tablets are now the next growth wave for devices.

Emerging markets will drive the demand for connected devices

2 Mobility demand leading to data explosion

Asia-pacific and North America will account for two third of global mobile data traffic by 2017. APAC and MEA regions will witness the highest growth.

3 Despite new spectrum allocations, spectrum shortage may deepen

HSPA/HSPA+ and LTE are highly spectral efficient (LTE efficiency = 3-5 times HSDPA), but the wireless data demand has outpaced this efficiency.

Given the finite availability of spectrum, operators are using additional technologies to optimise their mobile resources

Slide 6

Global Communications GAAP Summit June 2013

PwC Slide 7 PwC

Global Communications GAAP Summit June 2013

4G/ LTE to catch up in emerging markets too 4 LTE enabled handsets, demand for better speed, and data traffic growth will trigger LTE deployments across geographies, particularly in emerging markets.

5 Increasing Profitability and Monetisation challenges for operators

Operators today are struggling to enhance their revenue and profitability. While the data usage is skyrocketing, it is failing to generate equivalent dollars.

As the growth slows down, operators, particularly in mature markets are looking to end unlimited data plans and cut handset subsidies

6 Content becomes the king

Growing demand for apps, location-based services, social networks, and videos have made producers of content – app developers, OS vendors, and OTT providers the king of communication value chain. Operators too are shifting their focus from coverage to the content.

PwC Slide 8 PwC

Global Communications GAAP Summit June 2013

M2M communication will grow led by China 7 Growing demand for mhealth solutions, connected automotives, smarter homes/ cities, and mEducation are primarily driving the M2M market.

Deployment of M2M applications can have transformative effect on economies, particularly underdeveloped and developing economies.

8 eCommerce adoption will speed up further

With the world shrinking fast to adjust to the size of smartphones, customers are increasingly using mobile apps for show rooming, shopping, and payments.

• It does not impact the Group’s existing rights and obligations in relation to the cash flows of, and dividends from, those joint ventures

• The reduction in net debt primarily results from the deconsolidation of debt raised locally by the joint ventures.

• Key points were:

- Complete conceptual framework

- Develop a presentation and disclosure framework

- Focus on post-implementation reviews and responding to implementation issues

- Limit the number of new standards

• IFRS/US GAAP convergence – is it still an objective?

Global Communications GAAP Summit

Definition of a lease (distinguishing a lease from a service)

Where are we today? Where might we be?

A lease conveys the right to use a specific asset for a period of time.

Right to use

• right to operate asset; or

• right to control access to asset; or

• take most of output and price neither fixed nor market.

A lease conveys the right to control the use of a specific asset for a period of time.

Right to control use

• direct use of asset; and

• obtain benefits from that use.

So far so good?

The new ‘bright line’

Global Communications GAAP Summit

Principle: Accounting depends on how much of the leased asset is consumed by the lessee

Rebut the presumption of insignificant consumption if:

Lease term major part of economic life of underlying asset; or

Present Value of fixed lease payments substantially all Fair Value of underlying asset

Straight-line Front-loaded

‘Bright-line’

Property

Rebut the presumption of more than insignificant consumption if:

Question time

At a high level, what do you think of the latest leasing proposals?

1) An improvement on current standards

2) Include some improvements, but not enough to justify the cost of implementation

Question time

Do you think that having all leases ‘on-balance sheet’ will change the way in which investors view your company?

1) It will have a significant impact

2) It will have some impact

3) It will have no impact, as investors already have all the information they need in the disclosure notes

4) No impact at all as my company has no leases

Reactions

Global Communications GAAP Summit

“[This] will not bring about a sufficient improvement in financial reporting to warrant the cost and complexity of changing the existing approach"

(Leaseurope) “The accounting has changed in a way that’s incomprehensible”

(Bill Bosco, president of Leasing 101 and member of the FASB/IASB Lease Project working group)

“[FASB’s Investors Technical Advisory Committee] uniformly agrees that the Board’s decisions in this project would not be an improvement to current accounting”

(ITAC meeting 24 July 2012)

Slide 47

“Obviously, this standard is not a very popular one”

Question

In your view, what is the main reason for Telcos being valued on lower valuation multiples (compared to media and technology companies)?

1) There are limited growth opportunities for Telcos

2) The market does not understand the Telco growth story

3) Media and technology companies are more attractive to the investor community

4) There is concern that returns on investment are not high enough to enhance shareholder value
