The earnings call presented a mixed picture with notable successes in strategic divestments and cost reductions, but significant challenges remain with declining revenue and profitability in core services. The company is focusing on stabilizing its performance and repositioning for future growth.

Company Guidance

During the Spark New Zealand FY '25 results call, CEO Jolie Hodson and CFO Stewart Taylor provided comprehensive guidance on the company's financial performance and strategic direction. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, Spark reported an adjusted revenue decline of 4.2% to NZD 3.7 billion and a decrease in adjusted EBITDAI by 8.9% to NZD 1.06 billion. This was attributed to reduced IT services activity, a shift from private to public cloud, and legacy voice decline, partially offset by substantial labor cost reductions under Spark's transformation program. The company declared a second-half FY '25 dividend of NZD 0.125 per share, resulting in a total FY '25 dividend of NZD 0.25 per share, aligning with updated guidance. Free cash flow was stable at NZD 330 million, with CapEx reduced by 17.2% to NZD 429 million. For FY '26, Spark anticipates EBITDAI between NZD 1,020 million and NZD 1,080 million, maintaining a BAU CapEx range of NZD 380 million to NZD 410 million, with a 100% payout ratio of free cash flow to dividends, emphasizing a strategic focus on core connectivity and efficiency improvements. The guidance reflects Spark's efforts to adapt in a challenging economic environment, aiming for stable returns and shareholder value through strategic capital management and transformation initiatives.

Successful Data Center Business Transaction

Spark New Zealand reached an agreement to sell a 75% stake in its data center business to Pacific Equity Partners, valuing the business up to NZD 705 million, providing initial proceeds of around NZD 486 million, and allowing Spark to focus its capital investment on core connectivity business.

Cost Reduction Achievements

Delivered NZD 85 million in cost reductions in H2 '25 compared to H2 '24, including a NZD 61 million year-on-year reduction in labor costs and NZD 20 million in product costs.

Strong Mobile Market Position

Spark remains the market leader in mobile services with ongoing ARPU growth expected through price increases and new product developments.

Improved Free Cash Flow Management

Free cash flow remained steady at NZD 330 million, with a focus on reducing CapEx by 17.2% to NZD 429 million to offset earnings decline.
