ENDESA: FY2020 RESULTS (ANÁLISIS BANCO SABADELL)
4Q'20 vs. 4Q'19 Results
Adjusted EBITDA: € 891.0 M (-5.5% vs. -6.4% expected and -5.9% expected by the market consensus);
FY2020 vs. FY2019 Results
Adjusted EBITDA: € 4.027 Bn (+4.8% vs. +4.6% expected and +4.7% expected by the market consensus);
Adjusted Net Profit: € 2.132 Bn (+36.5% vs. +30.9% expected);
The FY2020 results came in as expected in adjusted EBITDA (€ 4.027 Bn of EBITDA vs. € 4.019 Bn BS(e) and € 4.023 Bn consensus) and slightly above expectations in adjusted Net Profit (€ 2.132 Bn vs. € 2.044 Bn BS(e)). In addition to the positive and negative one-offs accounted on the year, the company set aside a provision for an impairment in extrapeninsular assets worth € 338 M due to a regulation update one year ago. This has no impact on DPS’20 that will be € 2.014/sh. with 100% payout on adjusted Net Profit, meaning +36% vs. 2019 and a 9.35% yield (vs. € 1.90/sh. BS(e) and consensus).
By divisions, performance was solid especially in commercialisation and generation (33% EBITDA/ +21% vs. +22% BS(e)), which has continued to benefit from the short position on generation against a backdrop of growing demand in 4Q’20. In the rest of the divisions, the trends seen through 9M’20 have continued, with Distribution (55% EBITDA) falling -4%, in line with expectations. Lastly, the non-mainland business (12% EBITDA) fell -15%, in line with expectations.
NFD came in below expectations at € 6.89 Bn vs. levels below € 7 Bn BS(e) and € 7.02 Bn consensus.
Although the results came in as expected, we forecast a positive share price reaction driven by an attractive dividend and the stock’s poor performance vs. its integrated peers (-10% ELE vs. +4.2% Ibex vs. -8.2% IBE, +7.4% NTGY). BUY. T.P. € 28.04/sh. (+30% upside).
