1Q results – beat on net income

MOL has once again reported a set of quarterly results that illustrates that its business model is working as it should, in our view. MOL is benefitting from: the strong margin environment; better upstream prices, particularly gas; cost management; and its consumer services strategy. We remain BUYers of the stock. EBITDA hit its highest level for a first quarter since 2013, when Brent oil prices were USD 113/barrel, thanks to all-time high first quarter results in both downstream and consumer services (retail). The results highlight the resilience of MOL’s integrated model, as well as the success of its upstream cost cutting and retail investments. We see MOL’s 1Q17 as a good signal of future strong results.
