Coca Cola Icecek (CCI) posted TRY46m net loss in 1Q18, better than our estimate of TRY54m net loss and much better than RT consensus of TRY62m net loss. The operating performance of CCI was far ahead of estimates particularly thanks to superior results in Turkey. Nevertheless, higher FX losses curbed the positive impact of strong operating results in 1Q18.
Following strong 1Q18 results, we maintain our BUY rating for CCI with a TP of TRY45. Compared to its international peers, the stock is trading at a 21% discount on 2018E EV/EBITDA of 7.8x and 29% discount on 2019E EV/EBITDA of 6.8x.
