Moscow Exchange 4Q 19 - Slightly above expectations from top to bottom

Moscow Exchange has reported 4Q 19 and FY19 results with EBITDA (incl. interest) and NI above both our and consensus expectations supported on all three sides: higher than expected fees, interest income and slightly lower than expected opex. Even excl. the pass-through grain costs, the opex grew by only 8% yoy for FY19, at the lower end of the guidance. At the same time, in 4Q 19, we saw an extra one-off support on the FCF side from cashing out on the previous portfolio gains and interest accruals in 1Q-3Q. Yet more accumulated unrealized gains could translate to FCF in 2020e.
