WOOD Flash – Severstal: 3Q18 results – in line at the EBITDA level, better-than-expected FCF and a high dividend

Severstal has just reported its 3Q18 financial results. The results were in line with the consensus (1% above) at the EBITDA level, but 11% behind on net income due to FX and losses on financial instruments, which we believe should not be taken negatively by the market. FCF fell 20% qoq due to the 12% qoq EBITDA decline and a 5% qoq increase in capex. This was 6% ahead of our expectations, as capex continues to trend well below the full-year guidance levels. Much of this was expected by the consensus, but we see it as positive for the share price, due mainly to the high dividend announced after the close last night.
