Trading in 2018:The value of the LJSE index increased for the third year in a row and exceeded 900 points for the first time in 8 years. The SBITOP index ended the year valued at 805.06 points.

Intereuropa continues to perform well, with 9M18 revenues now up 8.2% YoY with strength almost across the board. However, growth rates are decelerating QoQ while costs pressures are starting to take their toll on margins, with EBITDA only stagnating and EBITDA margin lower by 0.8 p.p. in the period to 9.1%. This dynamic is present throughout the year. True, lower interest costs helped boost net profit to EUR 4.2m. All in all, they were on track to achieve their guidance, but Serbian problems sli...
INTEREUROPA:Newspaper Finance reported that 11 companies/funds are interested for Intereuropa, among others Pošta Slovenije (domestic postal company), SHS Aviation, Netlog Logistics etc. Non-binding bids are being gathered by the end of September which would imply the SPA could close at end year on in the beginning of 2019. True, since there is a government change, which leans to the left, risk for the transaction to succeed linger. On the other hand environment remains favorable, while results ...
Takeover attempt by Anatol of Cinkarna Celje came as surprise to LJSE participants, given prior unsuccessful processes of several existing shareholders to unload their position in the past sale processes. Please note Anatol is connected with Ring, which successfully acquired and afterwards sold paint producer Helios in Slovenia. KKR is also mentioned as provider of financing. However for now most public expressions implied dissatisfaction with the proposed price, namely EUR 220 per share. ...

Multiples are lowering while economic environment remains favourable (adjusted EV/EBITDA 9.2x, P/E 14.7x). In addition recent intent to buy Gorenje at hefty multiples a...

Intereuropa Group reported EUR 149.9m of sales revenues, up by 11% vs 2016. This is positive, especially since growth spirals from most segments and countries, likely a consequence of strong or improving macro picture. On the other hand, COGS also increased by 14% to EUR 107.3m which negatively weighted on margins. EBITDA consequently at EUR 13.2m and down 4% with especially weak 4Q. In addition, significant impairments pushed bottom line into a loss of EUR 1.6m. Reported net debt is at EUR 67.1...

Our target price lifted to EUR 1.9, partially due to good results, partially as peer multiples expanded – note we only use peer valuation method. However with m...
​Revenues increased by 5.2% YoY with EBITDA up by 2.2% to EUR 3.4m and net profit of EUR 86 thousand. Net financial debt is now at EUR 73.1m with further non-core asset at bat. Again, there is a news flow that a new (majority stake) sell process will begin. It’s true however, while results confirm Intereuropa is on the right path, this is also due to cyclicality (good macro data). Also share prices already surged significantly in the last year and possibly share price went ahead of its funda...
