Analysts and sources believe that Globes inability to keep up with competition could be one of the reasons why the cellular firms shares have dipped to about P1,000 from last years P1,700. In previous months, a network disruption slowed down the companys subscriber acquisition efforts—particularly for Touch Mobile, the cellular band of affiliate, Innove Communications Inc. Globe closed the first quarter with a subscriber base of 21.3 million. If there had been no service disruption, the countrys second-largest cellular firm would have registered at least over one million in new mobile phone subscriptions from January to March this year as against the 960,000 net additions posted for the period. “We believe there was a slowdown in subscriber take-up during the first 45 to 60 days of the first quarter, particularly for Touch Mobile, where that brand is strong in the provinces,” Globe president Gerardo Ablaza had said. The Globe official said the company had already recovered from the slump in subscriber numbers as it registered approximately 400,000 new users in April and May, respectively. With about 800,000 new Globe subscribers in its network, the cellular firm had recorded approximately 22.1 million mobile-phone subscribers as of end-May this year from 21.3 million at end-March. If Globe was able to sustain a net addition of 400,000 in June, then the cellular firm would have ended the first half with 22.5 million wireless subscribers. “However, if you take a close look at how Globe was performing over the past quarters, one cant help but notice how it lagged behind its competitors in terms of subscriber take-up,” said an industry source. “And now that Globe has recovered from the network disruption caused by a cut cable incident, it is expected that the pace at which it has been adding new subscribers should be better than in the previous quarters. However, this is not the case,” observed another industry source. Ricardo Puig of ATR-Kim Eng, said the market would have wanted to see Globe perform better. “Of course, Globes ability to keep pace with competition is something that should be carefully looked at.” In 2007, Globes average net adds in a month stood at 420,000 before dropping to 400,000 in the second quarter. In the third and fourth quarters, the net adds stood at approximately 360,000 per month. Traditionally, the second and third quarters are lean months but the fourth quarter is usually the strongest because of the anticipated holiday spending. In the first quarter this year, Globes cellular network added about 320,000 new users every month. Rival Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. registered an estimated monthly net addition of 430,000 cellular subscribers in the first quarter of 2007; 740,000 in the second quarter; 380,000 in the third quarter; and 590,000 in the last quarter of 2007. In the first two quarters of 2008, the phone giants wireless network recorded approximately 512,000 and 530,000 monthly wireless subscriber net additions, respectively. The PLDT Group now has over 33 million mobile-phone subscribers. Third player, Sun Cellular, claimed it has signed up six million subscribers so far in its network from 5.3 million at end-March. The companys wireless subscriber base accounts for seven percent of the cellular market. The PLDT group dominates the mobile phone industry with a market share of at least 55 percent compared with Globe share of about 38 percent. “If it is true that Sun Cellular has registered those subscriber numbers while PLDT has not lost momentum in terms of subscriber take up then Globe could be losing subscribers to Sun Cellular. This, of course, raises concern. Globe has got to do something to perk up mobile phone usage and keep its subscribers,” added Puig. Grace Cerdenia of 2Trade Asia said there was nothing alarming with Globes performance in the stock market. “There is no major change in the companys business model so the only reason could be pinpointed to the overall performance of the stock market,” she said. She said that even Ayala Corp.s recent decision to sell a portion of its shares in Globe to Singapore Telecom International Pte. Ltd. should not be a cause of alarm. Ayala Corp. disclosed recently that it disposed of 3.8 million common shares of Globe to SingTel at P1,210 per share or a total of P4.6 billion. That day, Globe shares closed 0.4219 percent lower at P1,180. The sale of the shares translated to SingTels ownership of common shares in Globe from 44.5 percent to 47.3 percent; and its voting rights from 20.2 percent to 21.5 percent. Ayala Corp., on the other hand, will still own 30.5 percent and the public at 22 percent of Globes common shares.
