Spark New Zealand Limited Ordinary Shares
SPK.NZXCommunication Services
Spark is New Zealand’s largest telecommunications company with a purpose 'to help all of New Zealand win big in a digital world'. Spark has a proud history in New Zealand – it was formed in 1987 (as Telecom) out of the telecommunications division of the New Zealand Post Office, a government department. In 1990 Spark became one of the first telcos in the world to be fully privatised. On 30 November 2011, Spark New Zealand demerged into two entirely separate, publicly listed companies; a retail services provider (Spark) and a network services operator (Chorus). Today, Spark has a significant level of operational scale within the New Zealand telecommunications market, with customers ranging from individual New Zealanders and households to small businesses, government, and large enterprise clients. Across all its services – mobile, broadband, digital services, and digital infrastructure – Spark has relevance for almost every New Zealander. In an increasingly digital world, Spark's products and solutions are only becoming more important and more relevant for New Zealanders and businesses. Data use continues to grow every year, data centre capacity demand is growing off the back of strong AI and cloud uptake, and digital transformation for productivity and efficiency gains remains an investment priority across the public and private sectors. Spark New Zealand has a five-year strategy, SPK-30, which recognises the scale and pace of technological change that is reshaping customer expectations, ways of working, and the products and services it offers. SPK-30 provides Spark's shareholders with clarity around the business' strategic priorities, and where it will invest to differentiate Spark from its competitors. At the heart of Spark's strategy is its biggest strength – connecting New Zealanders when and where it matters. From network performance, customer experiences, or the workplace culture of its people – Spark’s FY30 ambition is, it’s better with Spark.
