Telstra Corporation
TLS.AX, TLS AU
Price: A$6.26
TLS did not provide a trading update at todays investor day, with no new
material data points forthcoming; we see the significance of todays
presentation to the stock price therefore negligible. The main operational
comments noted the increased competition in the CY15E mobile market.
While mobile subscriber trends are not abnormal, we expect some impact
on 2H15E Mobile ARPU given the increasing competitive landscape and
changing mix. We are Neutral TLS, with a $5.38 PT.
CY15E Mobile Market, increasing competition - While TLS
acknowledged the increased industry competition in CY15E and
increased churn (1H15E 12.0%), TLS stated they are not seeing
anything 'abnormal' on subscriber numbers vs recent trends. We expect
some impact on 2H15E Mobile ARPU given the increased competitive
environment and the lower margins of additional services (i.e new phone
feeling) vs the core business. TLSs guided to no change in Mobile
EBITDA margins in the high 30%s (JPMe FY15E 41%, FY16E 40%).
Network With consumers valuing network quality, TLS is focused on
using technology to scale the network economically, with the increased
consumer interaction (i.e. High bandwidth video)/number of devices and
the internet of things materially changing the future network load. TLS
see the future in voice/video calling and home automation/control.
Emerging Consumer trends TLS highlighted a number of customer
trends/expectations: 1) Video consumption - with a focus on Video
quality/load time, and the customer experience 2) Upper end tablets
Hybrids can replace PCs/Laptops 3) On Demand Entertainment at
home & on the go, ability to take entertainment mobile & 4) Smart
Home devices are becoming smarter, with the home eco-system coming
together, TLSs focus is on Security/Automation & Energy.
Maintain Neutral rating - While yield support may continue to see the
stock trade around current levels, over the medium term we see the stock
drifting closer to our valuation. We are Neutral TLS, with a $5.38 PT.

period.
J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy

reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stocks expected total return is
compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts coverage universe. If it does not appear
in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analysts coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgans research
