Net profit is in line with our expectation. Datagate posted TRY5.7m net profit in 1Q19, up by 40% y-y, in line with our estimate of TRY6.0m. No consensus estimate is available. Although the EBITDA margin was below our estimate, higher-than-expected financial income resulted in an in-line bottom-line.
A stronger 2Q ahead, BUY maintained. We deem the 1Q19 results as neutral as the net profit is in line with our forecast. However, 2Q net profit should be much stronger since the new region has started to contribute to top-line from 1 April 2019. Accordingly, we expect regional expansion to boost Datagate’s EBITDA by 178% y-y and net profit by +132% y-y in 2019. We maintain BUY on Datagate on a significant upside potential of 50%.
