SAS (Sell, TP: SEK0.40) - Restructuring set for April

We consider this a negative report, with figures below expectations and a confirmation SAS is heading for a significant restructuring, of which SEK7.5bn in cost cuts is needed to make it investable, with more equity needed. We expect consensus PTP to fall by c20% and that a negative share price reaction is warranted.
