BGC Partners: SODA 4Q18 Earnings Review – IN LINE

SODA 4Q18 - INLINE: TL81m NI in 4Q and EBITDA of TL233m were both in-line w/cons. Higher than expected financial expense in 4Q18 (due to TL appreciation in the quarter leading to FX losses in financial investments), while this was mitigated by a deferred tax income of TL121mn related to the investment incentive for the glass fiber business. EBITDA margin down by 0.4% y/y to 23.6% in 4Q18 as higher average US$ and EUR against TL, price increases in soda ash and chromium operations partially offset the negative impact of 121% hike in natural gas prices y/y. We expect SODA to distribute a gross DPS of TL0.47, pointing to a dividend yield of 6.5%.
