AutoWallis posted mixed Q3/24 results this morning. Quarterly revenues increased by 9% on the year to HUF 96 bn, while 9M revenues are up 3.4% YoY. EBITDA came in at HUF 5 bn, while EBIT reached HUF 3.4 bn.

Guidance unchanged, clean EBIT beat estimates

Summary: Richter posted its Q3/24 results today morning. The Company matched the consensus for revenues at HUF 217bn, while the clean EBIT beat estimates by 3% as it came in at HUF 75bn. However, normal EBIT of HUF 64bn and net profit of HUF 37bn fell short of even our depressed expectation as an inventory impairment (HUF 9bn), provision (HUF 5bn) and an unrealized FX loss (HUF 20.8bn) dragged down earnings. The management fully reiterated its 2024 guidance. They continue to guide revenues ...
