WOOD Flash – OTE: 3Q23 results review – soft quarter, with 2% yoy adjusted EBITDA drop, in line with expectations

OTE has reported a soft set of 3Q23 results, with sales down 3% yoy, to EUR 881m (in line with our forecast), and an adjusted EBITDA drop of 2% yoy, to EUR 370m (in line with our estimate). We see the results as neutral, as they were fully in line with our expectations on the top-line and adjusted EBITDA lines. The company has also reiterated its FY23E FCF guidance (with slight upside, in our view, due to the EUR 20m reduction in its 2023E adjusted capex guidance). We do not expect any major market reaction.
