BGC Partners: ALKIM 4Q18 - Operationally Weaker

Alkim reported a net income of TL15.9mn in 4Q18 (4Q17: TL15.4mn, 3Q18: TL38.0mn), below our TL22.3mn estimate, operationally weaker, negative… Revenues were up by 52.2% y/y to TL164.0mn in 4Q18 (solo Alkim: TL68.4mn, up by 52.0%, solo Alka: TL95.6mn, up by 52.4%), in line with our estimate of TL169.7mn. Both segments are weaker operationally, which were hinted by tax office financials released on 14 February, despite weaker TL against EUR (most of the contracts on chemicals/mining side are in EUR) and US$ (paper business is linked to US$) on a y/y basis which is surprising.
