BGC Partners: PGSUS 4Q18 Earnings Review... Operationally Better

Pegasus reported a net loss of TL138mn in 4Q18, worse than market consensus of TL117mn and BGC estimate of TL66mn net loss… EBITDA came in at TL77mn, substantially better than market consensus (-TL15mn) and BGC estimate (TL4mn). The company recorded TL2,053mn revenues in 4Q18 (+73% YoY), beating market consensus (TL1,779mn) and our expectation (TL1,737mn), which explains the major beat on the EBITDA line. On the other hand, higher than expected FX losses resulted in a lower than expected bottom-line in this period. On a cumulative basis, net profit and EBITDA reached TL507mn (+1%) and TL1,356mn (+84%) in 2018, respectively. We expect the earnings to have a slight positive impact on the stock performance.
