WOOD Flash – Enerjisa Enerji: 1Q21 results review – a strong start to 2021

Yesterday (4 May), after the market closed, Enerjisa reported a solid set of numbers. In 1Q21, the company posted underlying net profit of TRY 522m (+48% yoy) on operational earnings of TRY 1,628m (+28% yoy) and revenues of TRY 5,889m (+2% yoy). The revenues were in line with both our and the market’s estimates, but the operational earnings beat the estimates by 8% and 6%, leading to 9% and 6% beats on the underlying net profit, respectively. Accounting for the one-offs related to prior tariff periods, the operational earnings growth was 36% yoy higher, leading to an even stronger beat. Moreover, in the first quarter, Enerjisa’s free cash flow generation accelerated yoy, by TRY 965m, supported by a higher operating cash flow generated in both distribution and retail. Versus our numbers, the operational earnings beat came from the better retail segment, but also a slightly better performance in distribution. As of end-1Q21, Enerjisa’s financial net debt/operational earnings fell to 1.4x, down from 1.7x by end-2020, driven by higher earnings, but also a 7% qoq drop in the net debt. Enerjisa kept its FY guidance, from February, unchanged. Last week, we updated our price target (PT) for Enerjisa to TRY 14.9/share. We remain BUYers of the stock.
