Enka Insaat reported 1Q19 net income of TRY835m, higher than our estimate of TRY607m and Research Turkey’s TRY502m. The strong bottom-line was due to the higher-than-expected mark-to-market gains of fixed-income investments and lower effective tax rate of 14% in 1Q19. Operationally, 1Q19 EBITDA of TRY754m undershot our estimate of TRY839m on weaker energy segment profitability (vs. Research Turkey’s TRY725m). In 1Q19, it booked net income of TRY391m from its financial investments.
Despite the lack of catalysts, we keep our BUY call on Enka Insaat as it offers solid cash flow in the midst of challenging market dynamics. We see weaker earnings momentum in the energy segment by 2019 which could be potentially offset by new orders in the contracting segment.
