Qala acquisition demonstrates M1’s clear broadband strategy. M1’s recent acquisition of Internet service provider Qala is likely to help achieve its target of at least 20% broadband market share by 2015. By acquiring corporate data capability through Qala, M1 should be able to secure some market share among SMEs, given Qala’s 9 years experience in the space. We estimate M1’s top line and bottom-line to grow by at least 20% and 10% respectively in the next five years from broadband alone. Most importantly, broadband offering would allow bundling multiple services together, which could lower the churn rate for the operator. Better execution under the new CEO. Ms Karen Kooi has set a clear goal of defending the market share and she delivered on her goal by arresting market share decline in 2Q09, without hurting the margins. Management is likely to achieve S$10m cost savings in FY09F through renegotiation of contract with network vendor and outsourcing of call centre operations. There is another S$10m backhaul cost savings in FY10F as M1 uses its own backhaul rather than leasing the network from SingTel. M1 remains our top sector pick. Our target price is S$2.05, pegged to 12x average FY09F-10F EPS, at 10% discount to our 13x target PER for StarHub. If M1 demonstrates solid execution on the NBN front, 10% discount to StarHub may potentially be removed. At A Glance Issued Capital (m shrs) 895 Mkt.
