Digi Q1 24: Solid results, Portugal launch pushed to H2 24
Digi has reported a solid set of Q1 numbers vs expectations: Both SR and EBITDA growth rates are slower, but remain impressive. A launch in Portugal has been pushed back to H2 (same timing as for Belgium) and no further details were given on the launch particulars. We remain unconvinced that Digi can build NPV positive businesses in either market, but we think it will launch in both, with all the associated costs– indeed, Digi upped capex guidance for 2024 to €650m-€700m from €650m. This drag to FCF is why we have Digi as one of least preferred HY names, albeit the deal with Macquarie for €750m for 6m fibre homes in Spain de-risks the B/S going forward.
