National Broadband Network operator NBN Co has secured $6.1 billion in debt finance on external markets as part of the company’s inaugural long-term borrowing from private debt markets.

The new credit facilities each have a five-year term as the company looks to support its future financing needs after the Federal Government had flagged some time ago that it expected NBN Co to pursue debt financing through external markets, including in order to start the process of re-financing its loan with the Commonwealth.

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said that the strong interest on private debt markets to support the future financing needs of NBN Co demonstrated that there was strong support in the market for the NBN business plan and outlook.

“NBN Co approached the bank market with a request for an initial $2.0 billion, as foreshadowed in its 2020-23 Corporate Plan. Given the positive response from the market, NBN Co has secured additional lines of credit totalling $4.1 billion at very competitive prices,” Senator Cormann said.

“There is no requirement for NBN Co to draw down on these additional facilities immediately, but the Government agrees with the company that it makes sense to have these facilities in place, to give it flexibility and given current economic conditions.”

Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, Paul Fletcher, said that NBN Co is at a “pivotal point as it nears network build completion and prepares for its next phase of operations as a self-sustaining telecommunications wholesaler”.

“The company has entered into arrangements with a number of Australian and international banks to secure funding through private debt, complementing Commonwealth Government funding capped at $49 billion,” Minister Fletcher said.

“NBN Co is expected to draw down $2.0 billion from the $6.1 billion raised and complete the build within its $51 billion funding envelope, as set out in its 2020-23 Corporate Plan. The additional funding will provide the company opportunities to invest and create even more value for Australians guided by future Corporate Plans.”

Analyse the systematic and unsystematic risk that NBN should consider.

Assess and discuss different capital financing (sales of assets, bonds and equity) to facilitate the acquisition of NBN.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis Of Adidas

For the constant maintenance of profit of the organization and to analyze the competition of the business we use Porter’s five forces. This business model will help us to identify the exact causes of threat by keen analyzation of various categories. And it also helps us to make strategic decisions for the productive and efficient running of the organization. Porters five forces are listed as follows,

Five Forces

·       Barriers to entry

As Adidas is one of the biggest leading company, the threats of new entrants is considered to be very less as it requires a very large investment set up to bring in new technologies. Marketing and advertisement of products is also a money consuming task when we try to compete with big companies like Adidas. Building up of own brand literally requires a lot of efforts and cannot be acquired overnight.

Barriers to entry- Low to moderate

·       Intensity of rivalry

The level of competition in the industry is so intense because of the main competitors like Nike, Puma, Under Armour and there are several other small competitors also sharing their position in the market share. All competitors are spending billions of dollars in the marketing, advertising, etc., Even though the top brands are limited in number, still, the competition they are giving to Adidas is very tough.

Intensity of rivalry – High

Supplier power

Adidas has multi-layered supply chains from all over the world and as it is working with more than 1000 factories in 63 countries, most of its production is outsourced. It would be a major loss to the suppliers if the suppliers try to take the risk by making supply contract with other companies because it will lead to losing up of the business tie-up with Adidas and put their business in risk.

Supplier power – High

·       Buyer Power

There are some of the local competitors are also influencing the buyers to purchase their products. But Adidas has a strong built up customer loyalty base with its efficient marketing technique. Its mainly focusses on its design, brand, and quality. So, for these reasons the switching of buyers to other concerns products is very minimal in number.

Buyer Power – Low to moderate

·       Threats of Substitutes

The threats of substitutes for Adidas is normally at a moderate rate only because the local competitors are offering a wide range of substitute products at very low prices. But Adidas is mainly concentrating on providing quality products to its customers and nowadays started focusing more on metropolitan areas where it has more customer base.

Threat of Substitutes - low to moderate
