Capturing Wi-Fi growth
Gowex accumulates +19% during the last 12 months (vs. Ibex 35’s -31%), in line with the
positive operating performance, in which we highlight: 1) compliance with 2011 guidance:
EBITDA +76% EUR16.5m (vs. EUR12.4m guidance); 2) positive news flow, increasing
backlog (cities, transport means, especially abroad) and new roaming agreements.
The scenario is still favourable for growth in Wi-Fi, leaning on the increasing connectivity
services and mobile services (high demand of smartphones, tablets and connected handsets)
and the saturation of 3G-4G mobile networks. According to Cisco, mobile data traffic will
double worldwide in 2012, and traffic will increase another 78% until 2014. In parallel, we
observe a similar growth in Wi-Fi: the number of Wi-Fi connection points is expected to
reach 2.7m in 2014, with use growing 200%. Gowex occupies a neutral management
position within the sector, positioning itself in the middle of the value chain, offering a neutral
and transparent interconnection point, and solutions to: 1) lack of standardization; 2) lack of
interconnection between the growing number of operators; 3) population need to access high
speed data mobility; 4) improving coverage deficit.
Gowex presented good 2011 results, with sales growing +34% (EUR66.7m), +7.6%
EBITDA (EUR16.5m) and +41% net profit (EUR7.2m). The results came in above Gowex’
guidance and our estimates (20% above sales, EUR56m, and 37% higher in EBITDA,
EUR12m). Following 2011 results and the positive commercial performance, we have
adjusted estimates up (+62% in EBITDA 2012-13e) and our fair value to EUR10.7/share
(+57%), discounting EV/EBITDA’12e 4.9x and P/E’12e 10.8x.

High double digit growth and improving mix.
In 2011, 70% of the revenues (80% of gross margin) were generated in Gowex Wireless
(vs. 54% in 2010), with 52 cities, 15 transport means and 95 operators (vs. 35, 1 and 65
respectively a year earlier). The remaining 30% was generated in Gowex Telecom. 42% of the
revenues were generated abroad (vs. 30% in 2010), reinforcing its presence in Europe,
LatAm and Asia, with integral Wi-Fi city modules (development, commercialisation and
management).

Gowex Wireless represented 70% of the revenues in 2011 and 80% of Gowex’ gross
margin, generating EUR47m revenues (vs. EUR3m in 2008). Out of its 3 segments, network
and engineering activities are performing better than expected, whereas media is evolving
below estimates, affected by the economic context in Spain. In 2011, 63% of Gowex Wireless’
revenues were recurrent (vs. 55% in 2010). We distinguish:
1) The Network activity (32% of Gowex Wireless revenues in 2011) includes recurrent
roaming, offloading, interconnection and access activities. Sales grew +78% in 2011
thanks to the increasing critical mass and the greater use of wireless services
(resulting in increasing roaming, offloading and interconnections for Gowex). Currently
there are over 95 operators using the platform, creating a network with >400,000 access
points (the clients of these operators are potential consumers of Gowex’ roaming
services).

2) Engineering, consultancy and maintenance (58% Wireless revenues in 2011). Gowex
offers the following services: a) consultancy: designing the network, non-recurrent
revenues, high margins; b) installation: Gowex controls the process, but outsources the
physical installation to an engineer, non-recurrent revenues and margins in line with the
group’s average; and c) management/maintenance of Wi-Fi networks: software
maintenance, generating recurrent revenues and margins in line with the group’s
average. The better than estimated performance of this unit was owing to the good
performance of international projects, trend that we believe will continue in upcoming
years, bearing in mind the recently announced agreements with cities and transport
companies.
3) Media (9% Wireless revenues in 2011) includes advertising, applications and services.
Despite growing +30% in revenues to EUR4.3m, it is the activity with the worse relative
performance in 2011, affected by the difficult advertising scenario. In our view, the higher
weight of the international activity (opening of new international Wi-Fi cities) and the
heavy weight of geo-localised advertising in the advertising mix should result in growths
in future years (we estimate 2 fold revenues in 2013 vs. 2011).

Gowex Telecom (30% revenues and 20% gross margin) is focused on B2B products and
telecommunication services (broadband, data transmission circuits, private virtual networks,
etc) via its commercial exchange platform. Telecom revenues proceed from the following:
 Adhesion fee for new members (interconnection and physical infrastructure) and of
membership (monthly), according to volume, lines to be connected, etc.
 Fees from purchase/sales operations in broad band at transparent and competitive
prices, data transmission circuits, voice services.
 Consultancy, and infrastructure management services (monitorising, management and
back-up) and equipment storage.
Since 2010, the company is modifying the way in which revenues and costs proceeding from
intermediation are accounted (end of the process in 2012). The intention is to adjust the
accounting of the affiliate to the scope of intermediation. The impact on results has been lower
revenues and costs in 2010 and 2011. The gross margin in absolute terms has not been
affected nor the rest of the P&L lines which depend on the gross margin (to be determined by
the net result in added value service sales plus fees accrued from intermediation services).
Despite the fall in revenues in 2011 (see table), the gross margin increased (+35%, EUR5.8m)
thanks to the higher volumes. Including the intermediation activity, growth would have reached
+79% (from EUR27.0m to EUR48.3m). For the next few years we estimate a prudent, single
digit growth in sales and stable gross margin (28% vs. 29% in 2011).

Improving profitability
The change in revenues mix, with greater weight of Wireless (wider margins), explains
the better margins seen in recent years, from 9.5% EBITDA margin in 2008 to 24.8% in
2011. Regarding EBIT margin, in 2011 EUR3.5m were provisions (5% of the sales vs. 3% in
2010, we are estimating EUR2.0m for 2012-13e), and an accelerated depreciation of assets
was carried out which partially explains the lower rise in percentage points of the EBIT margin.
For 2012 we estimate EBITDA mg of 25.1%, to remain stable in 2013-14e and EBIT margin
of 17.5% to 18% in said period, with costs growing in line with revenues.

Sector scenario: Wi-Fi, complementing wireless networks
The Wi-Fi services market continues growing substantially, at the same time as mobile
data traffic, leaning on the increasing connectivity services (high demand of smartphones,
tablets, and connected handsets) and the saturation of 3G-4G mobile networks. Much of the
consumptions in wireless data take place in fixed or nomad areas, where Wi-Fi services can
be found at low costs (and frequently for free). As a result, consumers have learned to accept
Wi-Fi as a complement to the 3G and 4G data programs. Some relevant figures:
 According to the Wireless Broadband Alliance (report 2011), the number of public
Wi-Fi access points around the world will increase from 1.3m in 2011 to 5.8m in
2015 (CAGR 20’11-153 +45%).
 According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index (VNI), mobile data traffic will
multiply by 256x between 2010 and 2015, reaching 6.3 exabytes/month in 2015. The
global mobile traffic will continue exploding, growing 3x quicker than fixed IP traffic
during the same period.
Have telecom operators considered Wi-Fi priority in recent years? In general the answer
would be no. Telecom operators have concentrated on developing 3G networks (and
designing 4G). Wi-Fi had simply grown in parallel. Some recent changes (included in Cisco’s
VNI) are:
1) Strong growth of terminals with Wi-Fi. ABI Research estimates a prudent rise in
terminals with Wi-Fi (smartphones, tablets, video game consoles) of >300% between
2009-2015, up to over 2bn world-wide.
2) Half the mobile traffic in networks is Wi-Fi
3) Substantial growth in Wi-Fi access points
4) Increasing moves from free access to Wi-Fi hotspots.
5) Wi-Fi is becoming a viable, mobile data downloading technology.
6) Wi-Fi is forming part of the more ample, wireless network design.

Given the fundamental changes in the market, Cisco considers Wi-Fi will be a viable
alternative to the wireless access network. The technology is ready, there is ample
coverage, and clients are using Wi-Fi as an alternative to mobile networks. Additionally,
service providers are finding new ways to monetize investments via the creation of Wi-Fi
networks.

Based on observations, investigations and experience in the industry and interactions with
service providers, Cisco has made 6 assertions regarding WI-FI’s future and its relation
with traditional mobile telephony networks.
1) Wi-Fi covers the majority of the locations where present.
2) Much of what we do is nomad, not mobile.
3) The new nomad terminals will consume even higher amounts of mobile data.
4) Consumers use Wi-Fi easily as a substitute or complement to mobile
5) Wi-Fi can offer a more profitable solution and better user experience
6) There are various alternatives to develop profitable Wi-Fi models.

Gowex. Positioning and strategy
The context is therefore favourable for Gowex’ business model. The growth outlook for
the mobile data market, the new terminals, new applications and services related to mobility
are exceptional. Demand on behalf of users and need to lay out wireless networks is ever
increasing, as well as the number of operators (wireless market with higher number of
operators vs. mobile telephony). Wi-Fi is amongst the highest growth technologies thanks to the
low development cost (a tenth of 3G), the use of frequencies are not subject to licenses (2.4GHz and
5GHz) and the high number of terminals integrating WI-FI technology.
Gowex occupies a neutral management position within the Wi-Fi sector, offering solutions
to: 1) lack of standardization; 2) lack of interconnection between the growing number of
operators; 3) population need to access high speed data mobility; 4) improving coverage
deficit. Gowex positions itself in the centre of wireless internet value chain, offering a neutral
and transparent interconnection point.
Gowex’s growth keys are: 1) positioning of Gowex’ Roaming Platform as a reference
solution in the market for various agents (that we believe will be achieved with the increasing
number of cities connected); 2) international expansion via agreements with cities; and 3)
potential operating leverage (scalable model); 4) capacity to monetise Wi-Fi networks via the
advertising WILOC platform and geo-localised contents.
Gowex. Positioning Gowex. Revenues Diversification
Soruce: Gowex Source: Gowex
Organic growth
Gowex enjoys a leading position and high penetration in exploiting Wi-Fi cities in Spain,
while progressively increasing its international presence. The company’s strategy is to
repeat the successful business model in other markets and cities in Europe, Asia and Latin
America (considering co-investments as an alternative), and continue attracting operators. The
circle is virtuous, in which the increasing critical mass and access points increases the
company’s appeal, be it to obtain new contracts in cities (developing Wi-Fi cities) and
operators (roaming, offloading) apart from geographically diversifying revenues. Specifically
speaking we highlight the following strategy lines:
Page 10

Gowex
 Continue growing in Wi-Fi cities and associated networks. Continue growing in
international network deployment, as a priority to achieve higher, recurrent revenues. The
strategy is to do so in leading cities, obtaining greater commercial capacity, network
effects and large economies of scale. The presence in leading cities would allow the
greater use of operator’s demand to download their 3G networks, as this need is more
acute in large cities. In certain cases, Gowex will co-invest in cities under the PPP
consortium format, in which Gowex is the promoter thus allowing for greater efficiency and
higher economies of scale.
 Leveraging over Gowex’ neutral, multi-lateral MSP platform: The intention is to take
advantage of the positioning obtained, thanks to the higher number of cities, projects and
operators already working within Gowex’ platform, thus reaching higher economies of
scale and network externalities, as well as the expulsion effect of certain competitors.
 Attracts larger operators to become members of Gowex’ MSP platform. To date, the
company has mainly obtained small, mid and large operators but always within WI-FI. The
majority of Gowex’s current attraction is in allowing the adhesion of large operators
(domestic and international) to integrate their 3G networks with Gowex’ WI-FI cities.
 Final user: increase the appeal of Gowex’ services in developing activity with final users
and the Freemium model. Gowex has developed a software solution, including a business
model, that is installed in client’s terminals allowing the transparent use of all networks,
including Wi-Fi Cities and networks associated to Gowex’ technological platforms.
Co-investment to accelerate growth
Since 2009, Gowex has played important roles in promoting Public/Private Consortiums to
create Wi-Fi cities, participating in the promotion, design and creation of projects and
training consortiums; later via a stake (direct or indirect) in executing the implementation
and laying out the infrastructure, and finally manage, exploit and operate the project.
During Gowex’ listing in 1Q’10, one of the points underscored in our investment case was the
low investment requirements. However, in some cases, Gowex believes it essential to carry
out the mentioned functions and participate as co-investor in the consortium. This
decision implies:
 Acquiring a controlling stake in the consortium or, on occasions, a minority stake (via
minority reinforcement agreements)
 Allows the development of big projects, greater surface and longer exploitation period.
 Increase its competitive advantage vs. other players.
 On the other hand, the co-investment demands a greater investment effort for Gowex –
reflected in our estimates.
Developing this co-investment policy in 2010 and 2011 allowed the company to surpass
targets regarding Wi-Fi cities and economic results. In our view, capturing new cities,
concessions etc will continue accelerating the capturing of sufficient critical mass to
convert Gowex’ Roaming Platform in one of the reference solutions in the market.
The investment and co-investment plan is mainly focused on leading cities or entities
dependant on the former (municipal transport etc). The business case on these co-
investments greatly depends on the consortium model proposed, but in the majority of the
cases implies Gowex investing between 10 – 25% of the total investment and includes hiring
Gowex as the main contractor or implementer of its technology (as the base platform
making up the Wi-Fi City).

Gowex carried out two capital increases in 2010 (listing to MAB) and in 2011 (June), capturing
EUR6.0m and EUR6.9m respectively, earmarked to finance growth (organic and inorganic).
Currently, the company holds a net cash position of EUR22m.
The company stated its interest in accelerating its national and international expansion via
acquisitions, such as engineering companies with demonstrated experience in wireless
networks, know-how, and a reasonable client portfolio (cities, operators). Gowex continues
seeking opportunities in this field, with an estimated size below EUR5m per operation, ruling
out various operations in the past (to date there is only one candidate). Despite the lack of
track record, the potential size of acquisitions limits the reinvestment risk. We do not
include any potential operation in our estimates or valuation.

Estimates adjusted
 We revise our estimates for 2012 onwards up following the good 2011 results and the
commercial advances announced – reinforcing the pipeline and visibility for upcoming
years. For 2012-13e our estimates increase 50% in revenues and 62% in EBITDA.
 CAGR 2011-13e 32% in revenues, 34% in EBITDA and 44% in Net Profit, with
Wireless, international and recurrent revenues progressively increasing their weight in total
group revenues.
 Our estimates are below Gowex’ 2012 guidance (20% in revenues and 19% in
EBITDA). Despite this, for 2012 we estimate 42% growth in revenues and 43% in
EBITDA, up to EUR23.7m.
 Gowex will release 1H’12 results in September, during which we believe the company
may update its 2012 guidance (disclosed in mid-2011).

Financial strength. EUR22m net cash.
 Gowex presents a healthy financial situation, with a net cash position of EUR22m at
Dec’11, strengthened by both the cash generation and EUR6.9m capital increase in
mid-2011. Gowex has a low leveraged financial structure, with equity representing
around 60% of the balance (at December 2011).
 CAPEX: we estimate more intense CAPEX in 2012-14e, due to the co-investment policy
during said period. We revise our CAPEX forecasts up to EUR16.1m in 2012e (17% over
sales) and EUR17.5m in 2013e (15% over sales). Despite this rise we do not expect a
substantial erosion in cash levels (estimating EUR18m net cash in 2012-13e, not including
possible acquisitions).
 Shareholders’ remuneration policy: in 2011 Gowex distributed EUR1.0m in dividends
against 2010 (19% pay out) and in 2012 another EUR1.0m (EUR0.077/share, 14% EPS
2011). For upcoming years we estimate 15% DPS (reinvesting the rest of the cash).

Valuation EUR10.7/share
The positive adjustment in estimates together with the better valuation hypothesis triggers a
+57% rise in our fair value on Gowex, up to EUR10.7/share (vs. previous EUR6.8/sh).
We carried out a DCF valuation for the period 2012-18e, applying prudent hypotheses:
WACC 14.5% (penalized by the share’s low liquidity and the net cash position) a 2.0%
perpetual growth, and EBITDA margin in 2018e of 21% below the 25% estimated for 2012-
14e.

Our fair value discounts 2012e multiples of 4.9x EV/EBITDA and 10.8x P/E (3.9x and 9.3x
2013e multiples, respectively). Considering the 78% upside potential we have a Buy
recommendation.
At current market price, Gowex trades at EV/EBITDA 2.5x and P/E’12e 6.1x, that in our
opinion does not reflect the company’s potential growth (CAGR 11-13e +32% sales, +34%
EBITDA and 45% net Profit), financial health (net cash represents 28% of the current market
cap) and the positive track-record.

Multiples comparison
Although there is no purely, comparable company with Gowex (due to its particular
business model, diversification, etc) within Wireless sector there are two listed companies in
the US (they aggregate operators networks to offer roaming and interconnection services):
- Boingo: >500,000 hotspots world-wide, began trading in May 2011 in the Nasdaq. Boingo
is an international, WI-FI service provider, offering retail clients (final users) and
wholesalers access service to Wi-Fi points. In 2011 the company generated USD95m
revenues and USD28m EBITDA. Boingo’s 2012 guidance points to +19% revenues and
+30% EBITDA.
- iPass. 750,000 hotspots in 120 countries. Offers mobile connectivity services to
companies. In 2011 it generated USD140m revenues (falling 9%) and small loss at
operating level (EBITDA USD-0.2m).
Boingo trades at 6.9x EV/EBITDA’12e vs. Gowex’ 2.5x. At our fair value (EUR10.7/share,
implying 4.9x EV/EBITDA’12e), Gowex’ discount vs. Boingo would be of 30%, which we would
consider justified considering Boingo’s greater liquidity (trades in the Nasdaq).

Comparable transactions
The Wi-Fi sector is a young, atomised sector in which, in our opinion, a consolidation process
must take place to seek critical mass. In recent months some operations have taken place,
granting visibility to the sector’s growth. The most recent has been Arqiva Broadcast
Holding’s acquisition of Spectrum Interactive Ltd, acquiring 100% for GBP23.4m.
Spectrum Interactive is one of the largest, independent Wi-Fi operators in the UK, with
15,500 access points in 2,100 Premium locations (hotels, restaurants, airports, etc). According
to the official release, the agreement will allow Arqiva to accelerate growth in the wholesale
mobile data activity via the acquisition of a scalable platform. Following this acquisition
Arquiva will be one of the largest Wi-Fi access point providers in UK.
Market performance and shareholder structure
Gowex began trading in the alternative market (MAB) on March 12th 2010, via a subscription
offer among institutional investors at EUR3.5/share. Since then the stock has enjoyed a +75%
performance. Apart from trading in the Spanish MAB, it also trades in the French Alternext
since June 2010. The dual listing increases and diversifies its shareholder structure, and
crosses a larger number of trading operations. Gowex’ intention is to jump to the spanish
continuous market and also to one or various renowned international markets.
Gowex’ shareholder structure is made up by Mr. Jenaro Garcia (CEO, 60% via Cash
Devices and Biotelgy VC) and the rest of the management, that jointly hold 70.3% of the
group. The free float is 29.7% (c. half of free float is held by institutional investors).
