Company Insight:

Brookfield May Have Template for Potential Optus Interest

Brookfield Asset Management's previous investment in New Zealand mobile telecommunications could give a hint at its strategy should it try to buy Australia's Optus from Singapore Telecommunications, E&P Capital said.

It points out that, with Brookfield owning a 49.9% interest, Vodafone NZ prioritized profitability and returns over mobile subscriber market share.

E&P Capital said the mobile provider grew annual Ebitda from NZ$463 million in FY 2019 to NZ$528 million in FY 2023, a period that largely coincided with Brookfield's stake ownership. This was despite a relatively flat revenue base and the impact of Covid-19.
