Results came in slightly better than our EBITDA expectations but worse than those of the consensus, with € -64.7 M of negative recurring EBITDA in the 2Q’20 (vs. € -72 M BS(e) and € -52 M consensus). Despite the fact that costs have fallen -59% including rents (-70% excluding them), this cannot offset the sharp drop in revenues (-95% in 2Q’20), with recurring EBITDA for 2Q’20 coming in at a negative € -64.7 M (vs. € -41 M BS(e) and € -52 M consensus).
As for the outlook, the company’s comments suggest that it currently has 70% of capacity open, with an occupancy ratio of 40-45%. NHH has also stated that ~70% of demand is B2C and that B2B “will take longer to recoverâ€, given the macro backdrop and social distancing rules.
Net debt (ex leases) stands at € 435 M (vs. € 254 M as of 31 March and € 448 M BS(e) for the year-end), which has meant heavy cash burning on the quarter, affected by € 114 M of operating cash consumption on the quarter and € 34 M of CAPEX. The company has € 600 M of liquidity, with €~40 M of debt maturities through 2022. Including leases, net debt stands at € 2.61 Bn (vs. € 2.34 Bn BS(e) for the year-end).
The poor results and prospects lead us to reiterate our caution in the share price, which we believe should react negatively to this release. The share price has shed -50% vs. February’s highs (-20% vs. IBEX). SELL. Target Price: € 3.60/sh (upside 33.33%)
