BGC PARTNERS - 1Q18 DOAS BETTER

Dogus Otomotiv reported 1Q18 net profit of TL81mn (+187% y/y), tremendous beat… The reported net profit is almost four times higher than our estimate and consensus. This is a quality beat with much stronger than expected operating profitability. The improvement in EBITDA also brought down the Net Debt/EBITDA to 3.8x at the end of 1Q18 vs. 5.3x at the end of 2017 and 6.0x in 1Q17. Dogus Otomotiv’s 1Q18 results would lead to an upward revisions to forecasts if the reasons behind the improvement are sustainable. We are curious to find out whether the nature of support received from VW has changed and what drove the 15% y/y decline in personnel costs. The company will hold a conference call today at 14:30 Istanbul time
