Intereuropa 9M18: Awaiting information about binding bids.

Intereuropa continues to perform well, with 9M18 revenues now up 8.2% YoY with strength almost across the board. However, growth rates are decelerating QoQ while costs pressures are starting to take their toll on margins, with EBITDA only stagnating and EBITDA margin lower by 0.8 p.p. in the period to 9.1%. This dynamic is present throughout the year. True, lower interest costs helped boost net profit to EUR 4.2m. All in all, they were on track to achieve their guidance, but Serbian problems slightly spoiled the broth. They are however further deleveraging, which is positive. But the main thesis with Intereuropa is whether this sell process will succeed and what price will investors willing to make especially since the share price surged in recent years. Binding bids are rumoured to be known in January 2019. Our recommendation is hold.
