Turkish Airlines reported a net profit of TL1,948mn (vs. TL38mn loss in 4Q18) in 4Q19, beating market consensus of TL1,021mn and BGC estimate of TL1,078mn… EBITDA came in at TL3,092mn (US$773mn, 130% YoY in US$ terms), vs. market consensus of TL2,932mn and BGC estimate of TL2,612mn. Main deviations from our expectations were: i) 2% higher RASK, ii) lower personnel expenses, iii) lower advertising expenses and iv) lower net financial expenses driven by a net FX gain of TL440mn in 4Q19. Note that, with IFRS-16, the company started to capitalize operational leases, but it continued to expense wet lease expenses.
