Telekom Slovenije 1H17: Results in-line with expectation with top-line growth strongly back.

Revenues increased by 5.3% YoY in 1H17 as expected mobile segment revenue weakness was more than compensated by wholesale segment and new revenues sources tied to IT and e-tolling. While opex increased by 5.1% YoY EBITDA margin fell from 30.2% to 29.1% with EBITDA at EUR 106.8m. This is still in-line with our expectations and Telekom end year guidance. Net profit up by 42% YoY as net financial results boosted bottom line. This is even slightly more than we have foreseen. All in all with no need to adjust our estimates and Gorenjska Banka bid possibly behind us (and consequently possible headwind), we remain confident in our buy recommendation. Main long term story is for now only: dividend yield.
