Orange Polska (OPL) has reported strong 3Q18 results, with a stable top line of PLN 2.8bn under IAS 18 (-0.5% yoy, 0.5% above our expectations), and EBITDA reaching PLN 834m under the IAS 18 standard (up 7.5% yoy, a 3% beat vs. our estimate and an 11% beat vs. the consensus) and PLN 792m under the IFRS 15 standard (a 4% beat vs. our forecast and a 9% beat vs. the consensus). The beat on the EBITDA level results mainly from the gain on properties sales of PLN 93m in the quarter (vs. our PLN 40m forecast and the PLN 3m reported in 3Q17). The adjusted EBITDA, ex. the gain on properties sales, would have been PLN 741m (implying a 4% drop yoy).
