Austar United Communications (“AUSTAR”, ASX: AUN) today released its audited results for the half-year ended 30 June 2011.

Total television subscribers grew to 764,250 following a net subscriber gain of 8,609 for the quarter, representing a 2 percent increase on 30 June 2010. Meanwhile customer churn decreased from 1.72 percent in the first quarter, to 1.31 percent. Total ARPU increased 3.5 percent compared with the previous quarter, ending the second quarter at $86.30.

MyStar subscribers increased 11 percent on the first quarter to end the period at 228,927. Thirty-seven (37) percent of residential subscribers now enjoy the benefits of MyStar.

Chief Executive Officer, Mr John Porter, said: “Despite the difficult consumer environment, regional Australians are still choosing AUSTAR, and opting for greater control in their viewing with MyStar.

“Australians love live sport and the historic agreement signed with the AFL in April this year is a great outcome for subscription television. From 2012 subscription television viewers will enjoy every AFL game of every round live, along with a dedicated FOX SPORTS AFL channel.”

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow(1) (OCF) increased 3% from the 2010 corresponding period to $124 million for the half. Cash capital expenditure decreased by $7 million to $50 million for the half, where 87% was subscriber related.

Mr Porter said: “Despite the challenging start to 2011, due to the devastating impact natural events had on our regional communities, Q2 saw us regain lost

ground as evidenced in our subscriber numbers and financial results. However, the outlook for subscriber growth for the rest of 2011 remains challenging with consumer sentiment at an all time low.”

AUSTAR announced on 11 July that it had entered into definitive transaction agreements with Liberty Global Inc (LGI) and FOXTEL Management Pty Limited under which FOXTEL will acquire AUSTAR. It is anticipated the transaction will be finalised by the end of 2011, or early 2012, subject to a number of conditions being met including (i) ACCC and FIRB approval; (ii) the independent expert determining that the Scheme of Arrangements (the Scheme) under which the AUSTAR shares will be bought is in the best interests of AUSTAR and minority shareholders; (iii) AUSTAR shareholder and court approvals; (iv) the receipt of an IRS ruling by LGI confirming LGI’s intended treatment of the transaction; and (v) other customary conditions for a transaction of this nature.

Mr Porter concluded: “There has always been a compelling industrial logic to bringing AUSTAR and FOXTEL together. AUSTAR’s Independent Directors have said the transaction is in the best interest of shareholders. It also makes sense that a bigger entity is likely to deliver a number of consumer benefits for all Australians. While the ACCC’s 22 July Statement of Issues raised some market concerns about the transaction, I am confident that once the ACCC reviews our submissions there will be a reasonable result.”
