WOOD Flash – Kcell: 4Q20 – adjusted EBITDA in line with expectations, miss on NI due to one-offs

We see Kcell’s 4Q20 results, reported this morning (8 February), as neutral and we do not expect any major market reaction. The operating results were strong (adjusted EBITDA up 24% yoy), but in line with expectations, while the company recorded some material one-offs, causing a miss on the bottom line. On the other hand, we see the 2021E guidance, assuming high single-digit growth in sales and EBITDA, as positive. We also note the positive trends in the KPIs: the company recorded 6% ARPU expansion and a mobile subscriber base expansion in 4Q20.
