BGC PARTNERS - 1Q18 YATAS SLIGHTLY BETTER

Overall, we think that Yatas’ 1Q18 performance is slightly positive. We maintain our BUY rating for the company with 57% upside potential. Yatas trades at 9.2x 2018E P/E (2019E: 6.6x) and 6.9x 2018E EV/EBITDA (2019E: 5.1x) on our current Estimates, at 22% discount to its peers. Given negligible net debt and the growth potential (39% CAGR in the last 4 years), we think that these multiples are quite attractive. The company still targets to open a total of 151 stores in 2018 (111 domestic stores and 40 international stores), aiming to reach 535 total stores and 398.1k m2 sales area at the year-end. The guidance for 2018 is 50% top line growth (around TL1,200mn revenues) and around 15% EBITDA margin. On 31 May, the company will hold its General Assembly and approve the 250% bonus issue, while we expect the share split to take place towards the end of June.
