WOOD Flash – MMK: 2Q18 financial results – broadly as expected

MMK has just released its 2Q18 financial results. The results were broadly as expected. EBITDA grew 16% qoq (+43% yoy) to USD 650m, 3% ahead of the consensus and our estimate. Net income was up 41% qoq and 33% yoy to USD 392m, 9% ahead of the consensus due to higher EBITDA. FCF nearly doubled qoq to USD 281m, slightly below our USD 294m estimate. The company also recommended a dividend payout of 100% of the FCF (in line with our expectations), which implies a 3.4% yield for the quarter (14.5% annualised). Overall, the results are broadly in line with expectations and should be neutral for the share price, in our view.
