XpFibre Overview

About XpFibre

XpFibre, originally incorporated as SFR FTTH, is a French wholesale fibre-to-the-home infrastructure operator. The company was carved out of Altice France in late 2018 to hold the fibre networks that SFR had been awarded in medium- and low-density areas of France under public initiative and private rollout schemes. In March 2019 a consortium led by OMERS Infrastructure with Allianz Capital Partners and AXA IM Real Assets bought 49.99 percent of the company for EUR 1.7 billion, with Altice France keeping 50.01 percent. At that point the network covered about one million homes with a plan to reach five million, and the company acquired the rival wholesale operator Covage in December 2020, after which it was renamed XpFibre. XpFibre deploys, operates and maintains fibre networks and sells access on a wholesale basis to all retail internet service providers, including SFR, Orange, Bouygues Telecom and Free. It is one of the largest alternative fibre wholesalers in France, with a footprint of well over seven million connectable premises across several thousand municipalities, and it is headquartered in the Paris region.

Mar 2019Undisclosed stageOMERS Infrastructure (lead); AXA Investment Managers; Allianz Global Investors$1.9B$3.8BSFR FttH is a fibre-to-the-home (FttH) infrastructure operator in France, not a traditional software or tech company. It was formed in 2019 as a joint venture between incumbent telecom operator Altice France (retaining 49.01% ownership) and a consortium of infrastructure investors led by OMERS Infrastructure, with Allianz Capital Partners and AXA Investment Managers also participating. The consortium acquired a 49.99% stake in the newly created entity. On March 27, 2019, OMERS Infrastructure closed its majority-led consortium investment in SFR FttH, which operated France's largest alternative fibre-to-the-home wholesale network covering 5 million homes passed. The venture was positioned as OMERS' first major greenfield investment in the telecom infrastructure space and marked the pension fund's entry into the French market. By November 2019, SFR FttH had grown to an estimated €3.6B equity value and subsequently acquired Covage for €1.0 billion in an exclusivity agreement, expanding the platform to serve approximately 8 million homes.
