WOOD Flash – DP Eurasia: 1H19 results in line with estimates, good Turkey, weak Russia

DP Eurasia has reported group revenue up 21.6% and system sales up 26.4%, driven by both lfl and store openings (system sales were reported earlier). Turkish systems sales grew by 9.9% and Russian system sales increased by 63.0% (30.1% based on RUB). The adjusted EBITDA (ex.IFRS 16) was up 15.1%, to TRY 46.4m (vs. TRY 40.3m in 1H18); the adjusted net loss (ex.IFRS 16) arrived at TRY 7.4m, a slight improvement yoy.
Overall, the 1H19 results are broadly in line with our estimates, but the mix is slightly concerning, in our view, and might have some negative trading impact. We like the Turkey performance, which was good, taking into account the environment in 1H19. However, we are a little concerned about the performance in Russia, where the company reported a decline in the EBITDA margin yoy and plans to repurchase some stores from franchisees, and the competition is increasing. Also, we note the increase in net debt, which is the effect of FX and currency translation from RUB to TRY, as well as capex, according to the company.
