It's a mature business and management has been very vocal and honest about
that, but as we mentioned in our Cable / Pay-TV overview, the inevitable Group.
acceleration of the decline in linear-TV hasn't materialized in the way bears
predicted. Additionally, the DBS industry has been quick to transition to take
advantage of the growing demand for OTT services and has created two of the
best services in the industry. They're lower margin subs absolutely, but it
stems the impact of outright losing all the cash from the churned DBS
subscribers. Given the maturity of the business, we also expect the Restricted
Group to de-lever, particularly as DISH exists its spectrum accumulation phase
and pivots towards one of spectrum commercialization. At nearly 7% we think
DISH remains cheap.

Intelsat - BUY Longer-Dated Jackson: It's been another whirlwind year for Risks include slower growth on
Intelsat - a failed Softbank deal, liability management exercises, potential Epic biros, bss of government
monetization of spectrum assets, multiple Epic satellite launches, industry
multiple contraction amongst its peer group. While the fundamentals of the contact worse media renewal
business remain in flux with the ex-mobility growth in Network Services yet to pricing then expected
turnaround, an approaching media renewal cycle that will have a hit to
revenues, and -20% of government contracts up for renewal in 2018, we still
think there is value at Jackson with additional value to be had in the longer-
dated '23s and '25s.
Despite near-term headwinds, Intelsat has gone through certain various capital
structure activities to extend the maturity wall, effectively buying the company
more time to prove the use case for the next gen HIS works. Guidance for
2018 is now widely expected to be flat to down from an EBITDA perspective (a
phenomenon that can be seen explained via the recent moves in Lux bonds),
but management remains confident that the only issue up for debate is one of
timing on when growth will return. As we progress through 2018 and the
company becomes more positive about the trajectory of the business into
2019, we think the Jackson box certainly rallies. Further, as the industry
overall begins to trend closer towards the inflection point in HTS vs legacy
services, we think industry valuations will improve, providing further cushion
to the Jackson story.
