MTN Group Ltd (MTNOF) (H1 2025) Earnings Call Highlights: Robust Revenue Growth Amidst ...

Release Date: August 18, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points MTN Group Ltd (MTNOF) reported a robust financial performance with a 22% growth in service revenue, surpassing medium-term guidance. The company achieved significant cost savings of 1.5 billion rand in the first half, contributing to a cumulative 5.3 billion rand since 2024. MTN Nigeria showed strong performance with a 54.1% increase in service revenue, driven by data and voice growth. The fintech segment experienced a 24.9% growth in revenue, with advanced services growing by 42%. The balance sheet remains resilient with a consolidated net debt to EBITDA ratio improving to 0.5 times. Negative Points MTN South Africa faced competitive pressures, resulting in a modest 2.3% growth in service revenue. The company had to revise its guidance for South Africa to reflect competitive dynamics, particularly in the prepaid market. There are ongoing legal and regulatory challenges, including a DOJ investigation related to past operations in Afghanistan and Iran. The CapEx intensity was slightly above the targeted range, driven by accelerated investments in Nigeria. The company is facing challenges in maintaining market share in South Africa, with strategic initiatives needed to address this. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Signs with MTNOF. Q: Can you comment on your market share ambitions in South Africa and how you plan to achieve them, given the guidance suggests a potential loss in service revenue market share? A: We are widening the lower end of our service revenue guidance to reflect current realities, but our aspirations remain to maintain or grow market share. We are investing more in distribution and dealer commissions to improve competitiveness. Our goal is to capture 30-35% of all net additions in the market. (Ralph Mopita, CEO) Q: What are your plans regarding network as a service and wholesale roaming agreements in South Africa? A: We are cautious about expanding network as a service due to strategic concerns about market dynamics and MVNOs. We aim to avoid a situation similar to Europe where MVNOs disrupted retail pricing. We will pursue retail business but have a walkaway point if pricing lacks sufficient headroom. (Ralph Mopita, CEO) Q: How do you plan to scale Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) in South Africa? A: We will continue to push FWA as long as we have sufficient spectrum and can deliver quality service. For FTTH, we anticipate potential consolidation opportunities in the medium to long term and are not planning to overbuild fiber infrastructure. (Ralph Mopita, CEO) Q: With the significant increase in operating free cash flow and Nigeria's positive equity outlook, is there an opportunity for share buybacks in the second half of 2025? A: Share buybacks are considered a sustainable option and are currently number five on our priority list. We are evaluating the best way to return value to shareholders and will communicate our approach by the end of the year. (Thulu Molefe, CFO) Q: How do you view the impact of Starlink and other LEO providers on your CapEx and CapEx intensity? A: We see potential partnership opportunities with non-terrestrial networks, particularly in sparsely populated areas. However, we do not anticipate these partnerships significantly influencing our CapEx intensity, which remains on a glide path towards 15-18% over time.
