OTE has reported a decent set of results, with Greek SR trends slightly better sequentially. The voucher scheme is beginning to support net adds, and this will increase in cadence as the year progresses; another VRS will add additional support to EBITDA.
OTE has reported an uninspiring set of 1Q25 results, with both the sales and adjusted EBITDA flat yoy, at EUR 879m (2% above our forecast) and EUR 350m (in line with our estimate), respectively, due to the Greek segment expansion offsetting the 51% yoy decline in the Romanian segment operating result. We see OTE’s 1Q25 results as neutral, as the adjusted EBITDA is in line with our expectations, while the 2025E outlook has been reiterated by the company.
Q1 group EBITDAaL +1% yoy, as expected; little to get excited about – Q1 results broadly matched expectations, reflecting a stable but rather unexciting performance. Group revenues were rather muted (flat yoy) at €879m, with Greece +0.8% driven by resilient mobile (+1.2%), 2-digit growth in Pay TV, and robust ICT (>10%), offset by lower wholesale, a marginal drop in retail fixed and a drag from Romania (-8% yoy). At EBITDAaL level, Greece delivered +1.8% growth to €329m, aided by payroll efficie...

OTE has reported a slightly mixed set of Greek results. SR trends are a bit disappointing this quarter, but EBITDA trends are solid. We expect SR trends to improve in 2025 once the Voucher scheme is fully operational, and mobile price increases are put through; another VRS will then help to support EBITDA.
OTE has reported an uninspiring set of 4Q24 results, with the revenues down 3% yoy, to EUR 905m (4% below our forecast), and the adjusted EBITDA up 2% yoy, to EUR 365m (in line with our estimate), due to a Greek segment expansion, paired with a flat yoy Romanian segment operating result. Along with the 4Q24 results, OTE also published its guidance for 2025E. We see the 4Q24 results and the 2025E guidance as neutral, as the 4Q24 EBITDA and the financial outlook are in line with our expectations. ...

Muted fundamentals, strong price performance ytd, mixed news flow; EBITDAaL growth far lower than EU peers, warranting a Hold – OTE shares have had several twists and turns in 2024, with the stock posting a modestly positive return in H1 followed by a rally until Nov and a c8% correction from its recent peak in the last few weeks.

OTE has reported a soft set of 3Q24 results, with sales up 2% yoy, to EUR 897m (3% below our forecast), and the adjusted EBITDA flat yoy, at EUR 370m (in line with our estimate), due mainly to the contraction of the Romanian segment’s adjusted EBITDA offsetting the growth in Greece. We see the 3Q24 results as neutral, as the adjusted EBITDA is in line with our estimate, while the misses on the reported EBITDA and the bottom-line were driven by a negative operating one-off.
