CCC confirmed at BUY, TP PLN 60 - The third quarter holds the key

Although the preliminary Q2 EBITDA margin of the group contracted by 1.7%p yoy driven by Modivo and HalfPrice investment, we note the green shoots of operational improvement with the EBITDA margin of the CCC segment at ca. 15% according to our estimates
Performance in Q3 should determine whether bank covenants will be breached or not
We view the share price as relatively attractive even after applying a 10% discount in our fair value calculations for uncertainty related to the potential need for fresh equity capital
We expect a significant rerating of the share price once more concrete operational progress is delivered
