Schibsted (Buy, TP: NOK350.00) - 2022 set to be back-end-loaded as strategic initiatives weigh on costs
We are 17% below consensus on Q1e EBITDA, as we see continued revenue growth being offset by costs and investment related primarily to strategic initiatives. However, we reiterate our BUY as we continue to see an attractive valuation at a 2022e implied EV/EBITDA of 8x adjusted for the market value of Adevinta.Schibsted is engaged in the media industry and has four segments: Online classifieds, which include the Norwegian online marketplace and operations outside Norway; Schibsted Norge media house, which includes the media houses VG, Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Stavanger Aftenblad and Faedrelandsvennen, printing and distribution operations, and the publishing house Schibsted Forlag; Schibsted Sverige media house, which includes media houses Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet and a portfolio of internet-based growth companies; and Media Houses International, which includes of free newspapers 20 Minutes in Spain and France and Eesti Meedia Group comprising of operations in the Baltic States.
