BGC PARTNERS - 1Q18 PGSUS BETTER

: Pegasus reported a net loss of TL113mn in 1Q18, better than market consensus of -TL144mn and our expectation of -TL133mn. Negative EBITDA of TL52mn is also better. The deviations from our expectations: i) lower than expected fuel and maintenance costs, ii) higher than expected one-off income from aircraft sale – TL22mn actual vs. our expectation of TL15mn and iii) a net tax income of TL21mn possibly due to investment incentives. Pegasus recorded a one-off income of TL95mn and TL216mn from aircraft sales in 4Q17 and 2017, respectively. We expect the earnings to have a positive impact on the stock performance. Our target price currently stands at TL39.35/share, pointing to a 12-month total return of 42%.
