WOOD Flash – Kcell: 2Q21 – adjusted EBITDA up 20% yoy, 2% above our expectations

Kcell has reported solid 2Q21 results, with its top line growing 19% yoy, to KZT 46.1bn (6% above our estimate) and the adjusted EBITDA up 20% yoy, to KZT 19.4bn (2% above our estimate). The top-line growth was driven by both handset sales, which were up 31% yoy, to KZT 7.8bn (boosted by the demand for devices enabling remote working/education), and service revenues, which increased by 17% yoy, to KZT 38.3bn, on ARPU expansion of 15% yoy (vs. 4% yoy growth in 1Q21).
