WOW: Merger Overhang And Weak Revenue Outlook Will Pressure Shares

Analysts have modestly raised their price target on WideOpenWest to reflect an improved profit margin outlook and a slightly lower discount rate, while keeping fair value essentially unchanged near 4.33 dollars per share. What's in the News WideOpenWest entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bandit Parent LP on August 11, 2025, under which Bandit Merger Sub Inc will merge with and into the company, leaving WideOpenWest as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandit Parent LP (company filing).

WOW Merger Agreement And Lower Profit Outlook Will Pressure Shares

Analysts have modestly reduced their price target on WideOpenWest to reflect a slightly lower fair value. It now implies a valuation of approximately 4.33 per share compared with 4.80 previously, as they incorporate a lower discount rate alongside a marginally improved revenue trajectory and a slightly leaner profit margin outlook.

Robust Fiber Expansion Will Shape Future Broadband Landscape

WideOpenWest’s slight decline in net profit margin and modest increase in forward P/E multiple suggest mild pressure on profitability and valuation, leaving the consensus price target unchanged at $4.76. What's in the News Wohl & Fruchter LLP is investigating the fairness of WideOpenWest's proposed sale to DigitalBridge Group and Crestview Partners for $5.20 per share, citing concerns about potential board conflicts of interest and possible nondisclosure of material information.

WideOpenWest Is Getting Bought, And Not A Moment Too Soon

Summary DigitalBridge is acquiring WideOpenWest for $5.20/share, offering a generous premium despite WOW's ongoing losses and shrinking revenue. WOW's financials are weak: persistent GAAP losses, declining revenue, high debt, and little tangible equity make the buyout attractive for shareholders. The main risk is the deal not closing, but regulatory or shareholder objections seem unlikely to derail the acquisition. With little upside left, I rate WOW a hold at best—investors should consider this a rare exit opportunity from a struggling company. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

WideOpenWest: Notes Strong Demand For HSD Services, And Appears Undervalued

Summary WideOpenWest is a provider of broadband services. It offers high-speed data transfer services, cable television, and telephone services. In my opinion, if customers subscribing to HSD also purchase video and telephony, future sales growth will likely trend north. I also believe that further assessment of data from clients will likely lead to better pricing strategies, which may also bring more FCF margins. WideOpenWest (WOW) noted in a recent quarterly report that the company continues to experience strong demand for its HSD services. In my view, if new clients also purchase WOW’s video and telephony services, revenue growth will likely trend north. I also see risks from the total amount of debt and competition from large operators, however, in my view, the stock appears undervalued. Business Model WideOpenWest is a provider of broadband services. It offers high-speed data transfer services, cable television, and telephone services to households and retail consumers as well as different types of broadband solutions for companies and shops. Source: 10-Q Its services currently extend to 14 regional markets in the United States, mainly in Alabama, Florida, and Minnesota, with the city of Detroit being the largest hub of operations to date. By the year 2022, WideOpenWest registered 1.9 million homes and businesses connected to its service lines, as well as 532,900 contracting companies and customers. The core of its business and operations, according to the company, is to be able to provide high-quality, low-cost services, making this type of facility accessible to all types of consumers. 96% of its networks are operating at 750 MHz to date, as a result of its permanent research and investment strategies in improving its networks over other types of searches such as commercial strategies or the sales area. Estimates From Financial Analysts Appear Quite Beneficial I believe that financial analysts delivered beneficial expectations about WOW. 2024 net sales are expected to be close to $702 million, a bit more than the figure expected for 2023. In addition to 2024 EBITDA of $310 million and 2024 EBITDA margin of 44.16%, 2024 operating profit is expected to be $87 million. It is worth noting that the EBITDA margin is expected to increase. 2024 pre tax profit would stand at $31.1 million, with a net income of $20.1 million. Finally, 2024 FCF would be close to $37 million with FCF/sales of 5.27%. Source: S&P Balance Sheet As of September 30, 2022, the company reported cash of $45.3 million, accounts receivable of $39.3 million, and prepaid expenses close to $38.6 million. Total current assets stand at $131.1 million, below the current amount of liabilities. In my view, a few very conservative investors may not appreciate the total amount of liquidity reported by WOW. Property stands at $709.8 million together with franchise operating rights of $620.1 million, goodwill of $225.1 million, and other non-current assets of $43.4 million. Total assets stand at $1.747 billion, and the asset/liability ratio is equal to 1x-2x. Even considering the total amount of current assets, in my view, the balance sheet appears in good shape. Source: 10-Q WOW’s liabilities include accounts payable worth $42.6 million along with accrued liabilities of $59.4 million. The current portion of long term debt stood at $18.1 million, in addition to the current portion of unearned service of $27.3 million. Finally, total current liabilities were $153.4 million. The long term debt does not seem small. It is equal to $718 million with a long term lease liability of around $12.7 million. Deferred income taxes stand at $248.5 million, accompanied by other non-current liabilities of $21.4 million. Finally, total liabilities are equal to $1.154 billion. Source: 10-Q More Assessment Of Consumer Behaviour And Better Pricing Strategies Could Bring Significantly More Demand. Considering the total number of clients reported in the last annual report, who contracted HSD services, I believe that the opportunity is large. If these clients decide to subscribe to higher speed tiers, and receive more programming content, revenue growth will likely increase. I believe that readers need to have a look at the company’s optimism noted in the last annual report and the last quarterly report. Approximately 64% of our customer base subscribed only to our HSD service. We expect the portion of our customer base that subscribes only to our HSD service to continue to rise as broadband utilization increases across every facet of our customer’s lives. In addition, we fully anticipate new and existing customers to continue to purchase higher speed tiers to support the evolution of how customers consume entertainment content. Source: Annual Report We continue to experience strong demand for our HSD service. Source: 10-Q I also believe that WOW will likely learn more and more about the clients, so pricing strategies and HSD offerings will likely evolve and help design new services. Under this scenario, I assumed that new products and pricing will likely bring demand. We employ value based pricing strategies for our subscription HSD, Video and Telephony services. We focus our pricing strategy around our HSD offering and provide the option for HSD customers to purchase Video and Telephony services as part of a bundled service with tiered features and pricing. We believe that our services are priced and featured to meet the demands of a variety of consumers. Source: Annual Report Experts in market assessment believe that the cable television broadcasting services market will likely grow at a CAGR of close to 5.4%. Hence, under normal conditions, I believe that WOW’s net revenue will likely grow at the same pace. Cable Television Broadcasting Services is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.4% during 2022 – 2032. Source: Television Broadcasting Services Market

WideOpenWest: Too Cheap To Ignore

Summary WOW is down 40% YTD dragged down by increased competition from fiber and fixed wireless access (FWA). WOW continues to perform operationally - adding above-industry HSD subs last quarter. At 6.0x EBITDA, WOW is the cheapest among its peers with lowest leverage. The principal shareholder (Crestview) will eventually need a liquidity event. Situation Overview WideOpenWest (WOW) is a small publicly-traded overbuilder. After a couple of divestitures to right-size the balance sheet, WOW now passes through ~1.9 million homes and have a HSD penetration rate of ~27%. WOW serves 15 markets primarily in the Midwest and Southeast, including Michigan, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia. 10-Q Company Website Along with its cable peers, WOW sold off heavily YTD. There are a couple of industry-wide concerns. First, cable will lose market share to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) as the latter is technically superior. Second, cable will also lose market share to fixed wireless access (FWA) as the latter is cheaper and adoption barrier is lower. My view is that while FTTH is indeed a futureproof technology, cable technology will continue to expand the bandwidth in the coax cable wire to match the performance of fiber. FWA is not an incredible threat to cable since it can't match the user experience of a wired connection. Seeking Alpha Thesis WOW is trading too cheap for the quality of the business. At <6.0x forward EBITDA, WOW is the cheapest cable name. It's even trading cheaper to the fiber builders who face major execution and financing risks. Seeking Alpha Margin - On the margin front, WOW was able to work through dis-synergy due to the major asset sales and achieved a 40% margin in the most recent quarter, which is comparable to its larger peers such as Charter (CHTR) and Altice USA (ATUS). Competition - On the competition front, because WOW is an overbuilder, they will by definition not be the only internet service provider in their market. There are generally an incumbent cable operator and an incumbent telecom operator, and the majority of the incumbent telecom operators are still DSL. At least for now, the management doesn't see significant fiber buildout in their footprint precisely because the level of competition is relatively higher in a three-player market (two cable operators including WOW, and a telecom operator). Fiber is better off deploying buildout capital in areas with only one other player (i.e. duopoly). When compared to FWA offerings, WOW is generally able to beat out the FWA competition with a similar price level but with higher speed and more reliable service. For example, Verizon's FWA has a speed range of 25 to 50 Mbps and T-Mobile's FWA has an even wider range: 33 - 182 Mbps. Both plans cost $50/month standalone (i.e. without an attached mobile plan) while WOW's Internet 200 cost $29.99/month. Growth - the management reiterated their conviction around the HSD revenue target CAGR of 9-10% through 2025 recently at an investor conference. The drivers of this anticipated growth are (1) higher take rate of customers taking 500 Mbps and above speed and more importantly (2) greenfield, where WOW enters into a non-adjacent market to challenge the cable incumbents with fiber new build, backed by a lot of competitive intelligence. Leverage - WOW has the lowest leverage ratio among the cable operators (2.6x) vs. other cable operators running leverage above 4.0x because of the resilient cash flow. Valuation Building off of the management's long-term EBITDA growth guidance of 8-9% (I used 7% to be conservative), WOW's FY2025 EBITDA can hit ~$342.9 million. Assume the current depressed multiple moderates slightly to 6.5x, the future enterprise value of WOW in FY2025 is ~$2.2 billion, adjusting for net debt and cash buildup over the next 3 years, the future equity price is $18.62. Discounting is back at 10% (my base case cost of equity) I arrive at a fair price for WOW of $13.60. The way to interpret this is that if you buy WOW stock today at $12.82, you have 6% upside in addition to earning 10% annually until 2025. Investor Day Presentation In a take private scenario, I assumed a 8.0x multiple and can easily get to a takeout price of close to $20/share. The blended target of these two scenarios (one being the management executes on the greenfield growth plan, and the other one being a take-private transaction), I believe the stock has an upside of 30%. Author's Calculation Risks Valuation Risk - I believe at ~$13/share (~5.7x EBITDA) the downside is well priced in. Multiple of sub-5.0x is typically associated with companies in financial distress (and WOW is far, far away from being distressed). In my bear case, I took growth down to 2% and eliminated the expansion capex. With a 15% discount rate, I get to a 10% downside. I'd argue 3-up-and-1-down is a good risk/reward. Author's Calculation Execution Risk - the 8-9% growth rate relies heavily on the success of greenfield expansion, which requires new build expertise. As an overbuilder, this is not a new adventure for WOW as they are well versed in entering new markets and figuring out how to compete with the incumbents. Plus, the principal shareholder Crestview (owns +30% of the stock) is going to keep a tight ship to protect their investment. Catalysts One obvious catalyst is a take-private transaction. There are rumored to have at least two parties interested in WOW. There are a number of infrastructure focused PE funds closed recently. WOW's relatively low leverage gives a potential financial buyer a lot of flexibility. Crestview could potentially take over (or under?) the shares that they do not own, but it should be at a decent premium to recent trading range.
