Moscow Exchange 3Q 20 - Almost in line, cash position strong, no big surprises

Moscow Exchange has released its 3Q 20 IFRS results which were close to our expectations (though slightly below consensus mainly on interest income) on top line, EBITDA adj, and net income. As for FCF, it fell short because of non-cash derivative revaluation (to be cashed out later this year) in net interest income and a raised capex guidance (from RUB 2.3-2.7 bn to RUB 2.6-2.8 bn for FY2020e). Nevertheless, the cash position is more representative of cash available for the future dividend payments and it grew exceeding our FCF expectations. Overall, we treat the results as neutral and disregard a slight increase in opex (from 7-8.5% yoy to 7.5-8.5% yoy) and capex for FY2020e.
