Telekom Slovenije Group 1Q18: First quarter brought no surprise; investors focus will be on high dividend yield.

Total group revenues were up by 1.2% YoY which is a slight positive surprise as the increase derived from mobile segment. On the other hand revenues from wholesale segment decreased. EBITDA is also up by 3.4% YoY however with a margin of 28.8%, which is slightly less than we hoped for. This two effect cancelled each other out. Net profit of EUR 11.1m is consequently roughly in-line with our estimates. EBITDA multiple seems low and dividend yield is attractive, however a bottom line multiple is at par while profitability ratios are lagging. As there is little strong catalyst other than a dividend yield, we for now stick with a hold rating.
