Telstra In A$302M Chinese Cellphone Content Play

澳大利亚电信(Telstra Corp.)周三透露，它已斥资3.02亿澳元购得中国两家手机内容服务商和在线音乐服务商的控股股份。该公司是澳大利亚最大的电信企业。澳大利亚电信说，虽然中国是全球最大的手机市场，但普及率只有50%。澳大利亚电信希望到2013年从其中国媒体资产实现10亿澳元销售收入，这次收购将加速该计划的实施。该公司目前已拥有中国网上房地产汽车和数码产品业务。澳大利亚电信首席执行长楚曦佑(Sol Trujillo)在与分析师的电话会议上暗示，为实现10亿澳元的销售目标，公司可能需要进行更多收购。楚曦佑说，上述增长目标的绝大部分将通过内部增长实现，因为这些业务目前都在以两位数的速度强劲增长。澳大利亚电信此次收购了闪联互动(China M)和Sharp Point各67%的股份。闪联互动是一家消费手机内容供应商，Sharp Point为中国移动(China Mobile)的平台提供技术服务。该公司将利用现有资金渠道筹集收购资金。上述两家公司2009财政年度的预估销售额将在1亿澳元左右，利息税项折旧及摊销前利润(EBITDA)和利息税项前利润(EBIT)都将为正值。澳大利亚电信预计，从2010年起，两项收购将对其每股收益作出贡献。Andrew Harrison相关阅读中国联通有望从5月起销售苹果3G iPhone 2009-02-10IBM将裁员 2009-01-22华为业绩一枝独秀 2009-01-19 本文涉及股票或公司document.write (truthmeter('2009年02月11日12:19', 'TLS.AU'));澳大利亚电信英文名称：Telstra Co.总部地点：澳大利亚(Australia)上市地点：澳大利亚证券交易所股票代码：TLSdocument.write (truthmeter('2009年02月11日12:19', 'TLSYY'));Telstra Co.

Telstra Corp., Australia's largest telecommunications company, said Wednesday that it paid A$302 million for controlling interests in two Chinese cellphone content and online music businesses.Despite China being the world's biggest cellphone market, penetration is only about 50%, Telstra said.The acquisitions will accelerate the company's plans to achieve A$1 billion in sales from its Chinese media assets by 2013. The group already owns Chinese online real estate, automotive and digital device businesses.On a conference call with analysts, Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo, hinted that Telstra may need to make more acquisitions to reach the A$1 billion sales target.'The vast majority of the growth will be organic because these are businesses that are growing at strong double digit rates,' Trujillo said.Telstra bought 67% stakes in both China M, a supplier of consumer cellphone content, and Sharp Point, which provides technical services for China Mobile's platform.The company will fund the acquisitions from existing cash facilities.Pro forma sales from the two companies for fiscal year 2009 will be around A$100 million, with both EBITDA and EBIT positive, and Telstra expects the purchases will add to earnings per share from 2010.Andrew Harrison
