4iG - Strong Q4 helps 4iG beat FY20 estimates

After its seasonally strong final quarter, 4iG reported FY20 net revenues of HUF57.3bn, a 39% increase on FY19 and 6% ahead of our upgraded estimates following 4iG’s Q3 report. FY20 EBITDA rose 24% to HUF5.1bn, up 24% y-o-y, with a higher than expected margin of 8.8% (Edison estimate 8.1%). PAT rose 21% to HUF3.4bn. 4iG reported minimal financial impact from COVID-19, with some segments of its business even benefiting (XaaS, security, home working). The group completed four transactions in H220, with a further deal announced post period end, which, together, are expected to add c HUF10bn of revenues to FY21 and HUF3.5bn+ of EBITDA. However, with the HDT deal yet to complete and without firm figures, we will wait until the full results to update our estimates. 4iG has also flagged a potential HUF15bn bond issue in FY21 to fund future M&A.

4iG - Executing at pace on its five-year plan

In FY20 and into H121, 4iG has continued to execute at pace, with a series of acquisitions that will transform the group once the acquisition of DIGI Group, a leading telecoms services provider, closes in Q321. 4iG’s strategy is focused on three pillars: IT services; telecoms & infrastructure; and space & defence. The group continues to scale in Hungary, with a target to become the market leader, but we also expect 4iG to develop a more diversified regional footprint in FY21 and FY22. On top of 39% revenue growth in FY20, we estimate 44% revenue growth in FY21, even before considering the cont...

International Public Partnerships - Consistently and responsibly delivering

International Public Partnerships’ (INPP’s) FY23 results show that it continues to deliver consistent and predictable returns for investors, while delivering environmental and social benefits for the individuals and communities that are served by its assets. Despite this strong performance and a substantial need for private infrastructure funding, the macroeconomic environment has weighed on INPP’s share price, in common with the wider sector. Regardless, attractive returns are available from the existing portfolio with opportunities for further enhancement.

Portobello SpA - Focus back on the operations

Portobello’s FY23 results demonstrate the primary effects of the out-of-court settlement with respect to VAT and direct taxes (a higher year-end net debt position) and the secondary effects, such as disruption to its trading activities due to management’s focus on cash generation and the company’s inability to trade as previously expected. Following the period end, two capital raises totalling €12.6m, including €3.8m by three of the executive management team, from a maximum mandated amount of €20m, have improved the company’s financial position. The requirement to improve the balance sheet fur...

Intralot - Focus on business development in FY24

Intralot enjoyed good underlying trends in performance in FY23 with encouraging trends in its main countries of focus and further progress on profitability. The much-improved balance sheet and extension of debt maturities mean management can focus on the significant business development opportunities available in FY24 and beyond. The share price looks attractive in the absence of potential new contract wins, which could be materially enhancing to the valuation.
