Broadband ISP TalkTalk<\/a> has revealed that, following its recent demerger news (here<\/a>), the group has finally sold their business division (TT Business Direct) to its own shareholders for \u00a395 million – after seemingly being unable to turn earlier interest from Sky and Daisy Group into a tangible deal.<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the long-established internet and phone provider \u2013 home to 4 million UK broadband customers \u2013 is currently in the process of trying to deal with pressure from its existing debt pile, which will involve selling off parts of their business (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). As part of that, the provider has already begun to demerge the group into three separate businesses (TalkTalk<\/a> Consumer, TalkTalk<\/a> Business Direct and the Wholesale Platform).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Back in 2020 TalkTalk became the subject of a \u00a31.1bn<\/strong> takeover by Toscafund<\/strong> (here<\/a>), which including debt valued the business at around \u00a31.8bn<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

The first piece to go is their business-to-business (B2B) arm – TalkTalk Business Direct, which serves the connectivity needs of approximately 90,000 small businesses. Discussions about this have been going on for a while, and it was previously suggested that, if no buyer could be secured, then the provider might have to rely on its own shareholders, which seems to be exactly what has happened.<\/p>\n

According to The Telegraph<\/a> (paywall), TalkTalk has sold ‘Business Direct’ to its own shareholders for \u00a395m<\/strong> (less than the estimates of up to \u00a3150m they reportedly hoped to attract), although this deal does also include a wholesale agreement with another TalkTalk division – worth \u00a325m over the next 3 years (the rumoured \u00a3150m figure also included the value of the wholesale services agreement).<\/p>\n

Tristia Harrison, TalkTalk Group chief executive, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe transaction delivers both investment for growth for Business Direct, as well as a long-term revenue agreement for our wholesale platform. This is good news for customers and colleagues alike, and is an important first step in our demerger plans.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The outcome will make it that much harder for the operator to tackle the challenge of refinancing against the backdrop of their existing debt mountain. Put another way, they’ll surely be hoping for a considerably better outcome from the ongoing efforts to carve off their consumer and wholesale divisions, with hopes being pinned on raising cash through selling stakes in those businesses, or even disposing of them altogether.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the operator’s shareholders will probably continue the hunt for a third party to gobble ‘Business Direct’, and any proceeds in excess of the agreed \u00a395m would then be passed back to the company. At the same time, TalkTalk is trying to cut its costs wherever it can to help stabilise their balance sheet. For example, spend on sales and marketing has dropped by 40% and some redundancies are being made, primarily from central corporate functions.<\/p>\n

The recent developments certainly make for a stark contrast with the TalkTalk of only a few years ago, which was willing to take a gamble by spending big on Pay TV in order to compete with rivals at BT<\/a>, Sky (Sky Broadband<\/a>) and Virgin Media<\/a>. But today they’re more focused on returning to their core products of broadband and phone, while residential customers decline. One recent report suggested TalkTalk had shed around 100,000 customers over a 3-month period earlier this year, with more expected to follow.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 10:27am<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve added a comment from TT’s CEO above and the special purpose vehicle that has been setup for this, which is controlled by the main shareholders, is called TFP Telecoms Limited<\/strong> (TFP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
