TF1: Strong beat of Q2 EBITA expectations driven by lower programming costs

TF1: (BUY, Fair Value EUR14 (+53%))
Strong beat of Q2 EBITA expectations driven by lower programming costs
TF1 group posted very solid Q2 results, above expectations in both revenues and EBITA. In particular, the strong beat on EBITA can be attributed to lower programming costs than expected over the quarter. We welcome the results and we believe the stock should react positively, but we remain prudent as the beat on costs might not be extrapolated over time, given unchanged guidance on programming spend.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
