International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP), the listed infrastructure investment company that is linked to investor Amber Infrastructure, has revealed that it is in the process of finalising the sale of their remaining stake in alternative network provider Airband<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month we reported that Airband<\/a>, which aspires to cover 600,000 UK premises in rural areas via a mix of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Full Fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband networks by the end of 2025, had reportedly appointed restructuring firms AlixPartners and Houlihan Lokey to help find additional funding amid difficult conditions (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The ISP is currently owned by Aberdeen Standard Investments<\/strong> (ASI), which acquired a majority stake in November 2020, and in 2021 the network operator also secured a \u00a3100m<\/strong> debt package from an international banking consortium (HSBC, Lloyds, Nord LB and Sabadell). But the provider’s original founders, and investor Amber Infrastructure, retained minority stakes in the company.<\/p>\n

However, in June 2023 it was reported that the ISP, which was said to require a “substantial injection of new capital<\/em>“, was allegedly working on financing options to solve this problem. The latest market update from INPP suggests that there may soon be some movement on this front.<\/p>\n

INNP Balance Sheet and Realisation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Company maintains a strong liquidity position. INPP\u2019s \u00a3350 million [revolving credit facility] RCF is currently c.\u00a3125 million utilised (including c.\u00a317 million committed by way of letters of credit) and is available until June 2025, following the refinancing earlier in 2023. Current fund level leverage therefore constitutes c.4% of the Company\u2019s 31 December 2022 NAV.<\/p>\n

It is also the Company\u2019s intention to repay c.\u00a320 million of the RCF before the end of July utilising a combination of free cashflow and the proceeds from the sale of its remaining investment in one of its digital infrastructure assets, Airband<\/a>, in respect of which a sale was recently agreed and which is expected to reach completion shortly.<\/p>\n

Airband<\/a> is a fibre to the premise and fixed wireless access network operator which, since INPP\u2019s investment in 2018, has rolled out up to 1GB speed broadband to over 290,000 homes, businesses and industries in rural and hard-to-reach areas in the UK.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, the announcement adds yet another conflicting coverage claim (290,000), which is making it very hard to know how much progress Airband has actually made (ignoring the incorrect use above of 1GB for ‘Bytes’ instead of 1Gb for ‘bits’, and the endlessly awkward “up to<\/em>” terminology). Back in May 2023 they claimed to have so far passed 200,000 premises, but it was unclear how many of those were FWA vs FTTP<\/a> connections (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Confusingly, another press release, published in that same month, reported that Airband’s network had “brought superfast access to over 160,000 premises since its inception<\/em>” (here<\/a>). At the time, we did query why the figures were all so different, but received no response, and today’s update from INNP certainly isn’t bringing any clarity.<\/p>\n

In any case, today’s news suggests that things are happing in Airband’s struggle to secure more funding. We have naturally asked the provider to comment. In the meantime, it’s worth noting that many AltNets are currently under pressures from rising costs, aggressive competition from rivals (e.g. overbuild) and the need to secure a viable level of take-up by consumers. Not to mention the need to continue delivering on their build targets.<\/p>\n

Providers that struggle to obtain enough investment often have to slow their builds and cut jobs, with the potential for consolidation looming large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
