The earnings call highlighted significant transformation progress and strategic refocus on core operations, bolstered by successful cost reductions and asset sales. However, the company is facing challenges in revenue and profit growth, particularly in mobile and IT services segments.

Company Guidance

In the FY '25 results call for Spark New Zealand, CEO Jolie Hodson addressed the company's performance, highlighting a decline in adjusted revenue by 4.2% to NZD 3.7 billion and a drop in adjusted EBITDAI by 8.9% to NZD 1.06 billion. The adjusted NPAT also saw a significant decrease of 33.6% to NZD 227 million. Despite these challenges, free cash flow remained steady at NZD 330 million, while CapEx was reduced by 17.2% to NZD 429 million. The Board declared a total FY '25 dividend of NZD 0.25 per share, aligned with updated guidance. The company has undertaken a transformation program focusing on cost reduction, divesting non-core assets, and setting a new 5-year strategic plan aimed at sustaining shareholder value. Additionally, Spark has targeted stable annuity-like returns with a focus on core connectivity investments, aiming for ROIC between 11% and 13% by FY '30. The call also included guidance for FY '26, with expected EBITDAI between NZD 1,010 million and NZD 1,070 million, and a 100% free cash flow payout for dividends.
