Kardemir (KRDMD TI) - 1Q18: Significant beat, on forex: Maintain Buy

Kardemir’s 1Q18 net income of TRY235m overshot our estimate of TRY122m and the Research Turkey consensus estimate of TRY131m. The deviation at the bottom-line came from lower than expected FX loss, lower effective tax rate (10% vs. our estimate of 22%) and higher than expected dividend income from its affiliates. 1Q18 EBITDA of TRY375m came in-line with our estimate of TRY361m but higher than the Research Turkey consensus of TRY337m. 

We stick to our positive stance on Kardemir as it offers exposure to a promising re-rating story on better cash generation capability via better product mix and volume growth.
