Q3: Strong growth was maintained

DIGI reported its Q3 results. Revenue arrived +12% yoy (Q1: +12% yoy), EBITDA jumped by 18% yoy (but the dynamic slowed from Q2: 21% yoy), while net profit fell by 45% yoy, because of high DD&A and financial expenses. DIGI financials show the signs of high growth business model, DD&A (+30% yoy) increases ahead of EBITDA, and financial expenses grew in tandem with CAPEX. The financial growth again came from robust RGU growth (+16% yoy) and the meaningful improvement in EBITDA margin in Spain.  

  1. Key positives:
  2. Operation margin improved on a yearly comparison, growth was maintained (RGU fuelled EBITDA growth) mainly in mobile market which has typically higher margin
  3. Sustained market share growth in Romania and Spain
    1. Key negatives:
  4. Still limited visibility on the payback time of the huge CAPEX
  5. Net debt jumped to high levels because of 40% CAPEX/SALES ratio in 9M
