As it posted its yearly results for the 2019/2020 fiscal year in May, BT announced that it had completed the third phase of the £1.6bn plan a year ahead of schedule and warned that it was embarking on radical “modernisation and simplification” programme that would remove legacy products and services to deliver gross annualised savings of £2bn over the next five years.Better news came from the Openreach division, which reported that its FTTP build programme was on track and that service levels had been maintained. Revenue growth year on year was driven by higher rental bases in fibre, up 19% annually, and Ethernet, up 10% year on year, partially offset by a decline in legacy products and price reductions, reflecting the impact of Openreach’s volume-related discounts.EBITDA grew by 2% year on year, with revenue growth partially offset by higher operating costs. The quarter was affected by Covid-19 driving lower churn between providers in the market, which reduced provisioning and upgrade activity. Take-up of FTTP was also impacted during the early part of the lockdown. BT said this has now accelerated, with 10,000 orders received in a single week in June, mainly from BT’s consumer unit.“Despite our strong operational performance in the first three months of the year, it is clear that Covid-19 will continue to impact our business as the full economic consequences unfold,” said BT chief executive Philip Jansen. “Beyond this year and based on current expectations, we expect to return the business to sustainable adjusted EBITDA growth, driven in part by the recovery from Covid-19.”The coronavirus is changing everything about how people work, and will do so permanently. It added that even though the working world was experiencing unprecedented uncertainty, there were two things that should be borne in mind: the virus will pass, and at the other side of the pandemic, the world of work will look very different. -- ???????? | |||
