WOOD Flash – 4iG: 4Q24 results review – 22% yoy reported EBITDA increase, in line with our estimate; bottom-line miss, on D&A hike

On Friday (28 February), 4iG reported its 4Q24 results, with sales of HUF 192.6bn (up 11% yoy, -2% below our estimate), EBITDA of HUF 61.0bn (up 22% yoy, 2% above our estimate) and a net loss of HUF 12.1bn (vs. HUF 15.9bn net loss in 4Q23 and our PLN 8.0m net loss forecast). The miss vs. our estimate on the bottom line resulted from higher-than-expected D&A, which reached HUF 58.4bn, vs. our HUF 44.7bn forecast. The net result was also harmed by the strong net finance costs hike yoy, driven by FX losses. We see the results as neutral, as the sales and EBITDA were in line with our expectations. The company held its earnings call this morning, and confirmed its ambitions to perform more M&A and develop its space&defence segment, but did not provide any guidance regarding the financial targets or planned capex.
