WOOD Flash – OTE: 2Q24 results review – a soft quarter, with a 2% yoy adjusted EBITDA decline, in line with expectations; FY24E guidance reiterated

OTE has reported a soft set of 2Q24 results, with sales up 7% yoy, to EUR 911m (in line with our forecast), and an adjusted EBITDA decline of 2% yoy, at EUR 344m (in line with our estimate), due mainly to a contraction in the Romanian segment adjusted EBITDA. We see the 2Q24 results as neutral as they are in line with our expectations in terms of sales and EBITDA, while the beat on the net income level was driven primarily by lower-than-expected D&A. We expect no significant market reaction.
