The GVT Story
Dec 2008
Background
Established in 1998, the GVT Group began operations in Latin America – Chile,
Columbia, Peru and others.
In 1999, GVT won a bid to provide wireline services initially in an area representing 1/3
of Brazil population. GVT paid for the license $60k.
The bid was part of the privatization of the local incumbent that began in 1996.
Following the bid, and given Brazil’s huge potential, GVT sold all its other assets and
focused on Brazil only.
During 2000 the network was designed and deployment was initiated, and in January
2001, 15 months after the license was granted, GVT began to provide services.
The Israeli angle –



GVT Brazil had 5 Israelis out of 7 employees in 1999, today there are 3 Israelis and 3,300
Brazilian employees.
GVT initial shareholders were the magnum Group (67%) and the IDB Group (33%).
The original shareholders, together with the Swarth Group are still the controlling shareholders
with more than 30% of GVT’s shares.
1
What’s Attractive in Brazil
1. A huge country:
1.
2.
3.
4.
9 million km2 – 400 times the size of Israel
200m inhabitants
Labor force of 102 million workers
Average age of 28
2. The largest economy in Latin America, among the 10 largest worldwide
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
$1.3 trillion GDP (mostly services and industry, only 5% in agriculture)
2009 growth forecast of 4%
$220 bln export
$210 bln reserves held by the Central Bank
Investment Grade (-BBB) rating
3. Huge telecom industry:
1.
2.
$20 bln market for fix-line and LD
More than 100m mobile users
…and GVT is still the only viable competitor to the Fixed Line Incumbents…
2
The Incumbents
Following the privatization, the ‘old’ incumbent was divided into 3 regional
companies (each 5x the size of Bezeq) with a fourth player for the long
distance and international segment.
Competing with the giants was expected to be tough:
 Huge initial territory – 5 hours flight from one side to another
 No ULL – GVT had to deploy all network from scratch
 No number portability – subs had to lose their 20-30 year old number
 Market with small growth of wireline
 Competitors with experience, deep pockets and a monopoly environment (100%
market share…).
 Local players with experience and relationship with regulators and local banks.
…so other than just ‘hutzpa’, a different approach was required to in order to
succeed…

The GVT’s Approach - Strategy
Business strategy
1. Focus:
1.
2.
3.
Unlike the USO of the Incumbents, GVT has the right to “select” cities (and neighborhoods
within the cities) and select customers.
GVT focuses on SOHOs, small business and high class residential.
100% of GVT’s customers credit is checked pre-installation.
2. The most modern network in Brazil, one of most modern worldwide –
1.
2.
3.
Best service to customers – bundles, bandwidth, SLA
operational efficiency
The IP leader in Brazil
3. Gradual but constant expansion to new cities
4. Strong IT systems – constant monitoring of CF and performance indicators
5. Be creative, be a leader. GVT has introduced a higher number, by far, of new
products and bundled services.
4
The GVT’s Approach - People
…building a focused, efficient and flexible organization:
1. Less hierarchy, local senior management influence decisions
2. Change culture from 9-5 telecom to an “Israeli’ start up (casual wear, longer
hours and a substantial allocation of stock options)
3. Push employees for openness, innovation and leadership.
4. One of the results – all VPs are long term with GVT:

The 2003 Crisis
In late 2002, the local currency devaluated from 1.75 to almost 4 to the US$.
That effect on a newly established company, together with the global telecom
crisis at that time, created a very tight cash flow situation.
GVT decided nonetheless to continue growing at the original pace while
managing the cash flow on a daily basis.
In parallel GVT was able to negotiate a debt exchange that allowed to support the
continuous growth and mitigate volatility risks.
The shareholders of GVT, as well as the lenders to GVT at that time, made
substantial returns from the debt exchange and the GVT IPO.
6
The International Experience
In parallel to GVT, many international operators began operations in Brazil
including Sprint, AT&T, France Telecom, Bell Canada, Bell South, Worldcom,
Qualcom and others.
Other than GVT, all these companies abandoned Brazil during the telecom
meltdown of 2001 and lost a few billions of US$.
Some are still very successful and support Part of Parent companies including
TEF, TI and PT.
The experience of these operators in Brazil is key to understand the “do” and
“don’t” while entering emerging countries. Some of these points include –
•Is the ‘cook book’ of your operation adequate to the environment of that country
•Are your expats the best managers to run a local operation
•Understand that EMs are likely to have a crisis once in a while – have your
operations flexible and quick to adopt, mitigate exposures through hedges and
make sure your business plan can absorb volatility.
