CityFibre<\/a>, which currently aims to cover 8 million UK premises with their gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network by around the end of 2025, has today secured another major investment boost of \u00a31.125bn from the owner of Ikea (Interogo Holdings) and Mubadala (Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund).<\/p>\n

The operator’s existing rollout was already being supported by a huge investment from the combined weight of both the West Street Infrastructure Fund<\/strong> (Goldman Sachs) and Antin Infrastructure Fund<\/strong> – each previously held a 35% stake in the business.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Cityfibre<\/a> is supported by various ISPs, such as Vodafone<\/a> (Gigafast Broadband<\/a><\/strong>), TalkTalk<\/a> (Future Fibre<\/strong><\/a>), Zen Internet<\/a>, Giganet and others, but they aren\u2019t all live or available in every location.. yet.<\/div>\n

As part of that, CityFibre<\/a> planned to invest \u00a34bn<\/strong> to cover 1 million UK premises with their FTTP<\/a> network by the end of 2021 and then 8 million are expected to be “substantially completed<\/em>” across 285 cities, towns and villages – c.30% of the UK – by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>). This potentially also covers 800,000 businesses, 400,000 public sector sites and 250,000 5G<\/a> access points.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, CF has previously indicated (here<\/a>) that they were busy negotiating the sale of a 30% stake in the company to a third major investor, which would help to fuel both their existing deployment plan and enable them to compete for rural deployment contracts under the Government’s new \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme, which is an area that they’ve already trialled (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In theory, the extra investment, when combined with successful contract wins under Project Gigabit, could see their future network coverage expand beyond its existing target of 8 million premises (this target is already well funded), and possibly reaching up to 9-10 million premises<\/strong>. But this does of course depend upon how many contracts they’re actually able to secure via the Building Delivery UK run procurement process, which is still a big question mark.<\/p>\n

As a result of today’s deal, Interogo Holdings<\/strong> and Mubadala<\/strong> will now take a stake in the business worth \u00a3825m<\/strong>. On top of that, CityFibre has also secured a \u00a3300m<\/strong> extension to their bank loan agreements, with Cr\u00e9dit Agricole CIB, and National Australia Bank, also joining the syndicate alongside other major global financial institutions including ABN Amro, Banca IMI, BNP Paribas, Lloyds, NatWest, and Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale.<\/p>\n

Greg Mesch, CEO of CityFibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We’re thrilled to announce the completion of a \u00a31.125bn capital raise, the largest ever secured to support the UK\u2019s Full Fibre future. We also take great pleasure in welcoming Mubadala and Interogo Holding as new investors in this important project. This new capital will not only underpin our rollout to up to 8m homes across 285 cities, towns and villages, but will also enable our participation in the Government\u2019s \u2018Project Gigabit\u2019 programme to extend our future-proof infrastructure to rural areas and ensure no one is left behind.<\/p>\n

This capital raise is proof of the benefits of a truly competitive infrastructure market, as envisaged by both Government and Ofcom<\/a>. If nurtured and protected, infrastructure competition at scale will continue to unleash huge investment from the private sector as well as catalyse investment from incumbent operators. Ultimately though, it is residents, businesses and the UK economy that stand to benefit, with competition driving what has become the fastest rollout of Full Fibre in Europe.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, Mubadala’s Deputy Group CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Digital Infrastructure is a vital enabler of social and economic progress, and a priority growth sector for Mubadala, so we are delighted to be the lead investor in a fund-raise which is accelerating the roll-out of world-class digital Infrastructure for one-third of the UK.<\/p>\n

Mubadala’s investment in CityFibre is consistent with our mandate to deliver sustainable financial returns. As the first investment under the infrastructure vertical of the UAE UK Sovereign Investment Partnership, it exemplifies the Partnership’s mandate to guide high impact investment to enable future-focussed economic growth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Admittedly, it will still take several years for CF to truly build itself into being the country’s third major infrastructure competitor after Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) and Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2), both of which have major FTTP<\/a> expansion and upgrade plans of their own (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). For example, Openreach<\/a> aim to cover 25 million UK premises by December 2026 and VMO2 could potentially reach just a little shy of that.<\/p>\n

As for Project Gigabit, a recent progress update from the Government (here<\/a>) indicated that the first contracts aren’t expected to commence until May 2022<\/strong>, but targets like this should be considered optimistic and assume no delays due to the admin side or disputes between bidders (not an uncommon issue in competitive procurements).<\/p>\n

Once awarded, we’d normally then expect to see a rollout plan emerge a few months after such an award (i.e. building might not start until the latter half of 2022). The first rollout phase will include 349,000 premises in Essex, Dorset, Cumbria, Cambridgeshire, Northumberland, Durham, Tyneside, Teesside and Cornwall.<\/p>\n

We hope to see a fair bit of competition between bidders in the Project Gigabit procurement, at least in some areas, which may make it harder for smaller players to secure contracts. Suffice to say, CityFibre’s extra funding will come in handy here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
