MOBILE

Mobile was on track, impacted by Covid

Before Covid-19

Network renegotiations

Lower volume commitments

Wide range of connectivity O2 Virgin, VOXI, iD Mobile

Improved offer

Credit based bundles on track for 2020/21

Cost reduction

On track for £200m

531 standalone store closures

On track

For when unconstrained (2020/21)

To eliminate downside risk

To go after upside with new Mobile offer

Smaller, integrated, profitable, cash generating category

Covid-19

Enforced store closures

Lower sales transfer online

More prudent on new connection revenue recognition Online investment focussed on UK&I Electricals

Paused transformation

New Mobile offer

De-duplication of IT systems

Longer to breakeven

2019/20 losses worse than £90m 2020/21 losses slightly higher 6-12 months delay to breakeven FCF stronger than P&L

Guidance

Group

  • Over £1bn of unutilised committed debt facilities
  • £46m annual pension contribution will rise to £78m from 2021/22
  • Exceptional transformation cash costs to be c.£175m, mainly related to Mobile restructuring
  • Due to the delay to transformation projects, we would expect 2020/21 expenditure to be closer to run rate of £175m than the previously expected £240m.

Mobile

  • Adjusted EBIT losses to be slightly worse in 2020/21 and breakeven6-12 months later than previously expected
  • 2020/21 cashflow from Mobile to be slightly negative as operating losses and restructuring costs will be offset by net working capital unwind
  • Total positive cashflow from Mobile will be£125m-175m (previous guidance of c.£200m)
