Telenor (Buy, TP: NOK150, +13%) Q1 23: 7% group EBITDA growth ex energy and legacy drags

Telenor has reported a good set of Nordic numbers, with SR and EBITDA trends better, and Group EBITDA grew at c7% y/y ex energy and legacy drag. FCF is suppressed by several large one-off items, and leverage is higher than expected, but with underlying EBITDA growth of 7%, we think that Telenor can pay the group dividend and remain just about within its leverage range, even if dividends from Thailand do not start to flow until 2024 as per guidance.
