Telekom Austria Q1 22 - Robust trends trigger earnings beat, guidance confirmed

Prolonged solid operating trends trigger earnings beat especially driven by higher than expected EBITDA contributions of CEE subsidiaries
Revenue guidance of close to +3% and a targeted increase of the EBITDA margin was confirmed what we rate as positive
Strong operating performance in Belarus (Q1 22 EBITDA margin of 48%), sanctions being no immediate threat to business continuity
Further deleveraging with net debt/EBITDA incl. leases down to 1.5x
We rate the results release and reiteration of the guidance as positive
