COCA COLA 2Q18 - MUCH BETTER

Coca-Cola Icecek (CCI) posted a net profit of TL187mn (-19% YoY) in 2Q18, substantially beating market consensus of TL36mn and our expectation of TL45mn. EBITDA came in at TL634mn (+28% YoY) in 2Q18, broadly in line with market consensus (TL606mn) and our expectation (TL622). Stronger than expected net profit stemmed from designating US$281mn of the company’s US$500mn Eurobond as a hedging instrument against FX risks related to translation of its foreign assets. Accordingly, the company booked FX losses (TL134mn) related to this hedging instrument under equity. Such accounting change was effective starting from April 1. Expecting results to have a positive impact on the stock. HOLD Maintained.
