In FY20 and into H121, 4iG has continued to execute at pace, with a series of acquisitions that will transform the group once the acquisition of DIGI Group, a leading telecoms services provider, closes in Q321. 4iG’s strategy is focused on three pillars: IT services; telecoms & infrastructure; and space & defence. The group continues to scale in Hungary, with a target to become the market leader, but we also expect 4iG to develop a more diversified regional footprint in FY21 and FY22. On top of ...

We initiate sponsored research coverage of 4iG, and we see the company as a compelling growth story (a 2020-23E EBITDA CAGR of 34%), with results expansion stemming from organic growth and market consolidation via numerous M&A. While it is the No.2 player in the segment currently, by 2022E, this could result in 4iG becoming the No.1 IT company in Hungary and a relevant player in the CEE and Balkan region, in our view. We appreciate 4iG’s strategy, aimed at transforming from commodity-like servic...

In its H120 results, 4iG reported net revenues of HUF20.2bn, an increase of 39% on H119. EBITDA increased 35% to HUF1.4bn, with EBITDA margins falling slightly from 6.9% to 6.7%. H120 net income rose 34% from H119 to HUF0.8bn, with EPS of HUF8.5 (H119: HUF6.3). As well as the impact of COVID-19, the weaker margins in H120 also reflect increased personnel costs, which almost doubled to HUF3.9bn (H119: HUF2.0bn), with headcount increasing to 644 (FY19: 594). 4iG’s H120 revenues, together with an...

4iG has announced that Gellért Jászai (4iG chairman and CEO) has acquired the combined 22.3% equity stakes (excluding treasury shares) held by Konzum PE and Opus Global, entities controlled by LÅ‘rinc Mészáros. This takes Mr Jászai’s equity stake in 4iG to 63.9% of the total voting rights. We considered these holdings to represent a related party in our initiation report, so in many respects this change in ownership does not reflect any change in control, but rather highlights Mr Jászaiâ...
