WOOD Flash – 4iG: 3Q23 results and takeaways from the call

Yesterday (30 November), after the close, 4iG reported its 3Q23 results. We see the outcome of the results and the conference call as neutral. We note that the qoq EBITDA drop was driven by a strong base, fuelled by a one-off gain on the sale of certain elements of DIGI HU’s mobile network: the net impact of one-off items on the 2Q23 EBITDA stood at HUF 14.0bn. The miss vs. our forecasts reflected primarily the differences in holding costs and other operating income results vs. our figures, as we had based our assumptions on metrics distorted by one-offs. The miss on the bottom line was also driven by higher-than-expected net finance costs, boosted by FX losses.
