3Q17 Results

Construction continues with its positive trend.

OHL reported an EBITDA of €257.0Mn, increasing by 38.3% YoY. Concessions’ EBITDA went up by 18.4% to €217.7Mn. Other activities entered into the positive territory with an EBITDA of €11.7Mn in 3Q17. Especially remarkable is that construction continues improving margins (to 3.3% in 3Q17 from 2.2% in the previous quarter and 0.5% in 3Q16), what results in an EBITDA of €27.6Mn in 3Q17 (vs. 4.3% in 3Q16).

Working capital drained €91.5Mn in 3Q17

NFD reduced by €297Mn to €2,595Mn in 3Q17, distorted by the amortization of the €400Mn bond convertible into OHL Mexico shares. It has been replaced with a €400Mn loan from IFM accounted as “Other current liabilities”. Excluding this impact, NFD would increase by €103Mn in 3Q17 with €91.5Mn cash outflow from working capital (-€158.6Mn in 3Q16). Recourse NFD increases to €991.8Mn in 3Q17 from €813Mn in 2Q17.

We maintain our Buy recommendation.

We expect these 3Q17 results to have a slightly negative impact on OHL’s stock price. Nevertheless, we maintain our Buy recommendation with a target price of €6.9/share.
