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. ...

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.

We have upgraded our rating on OTE to BUY from Hold, with a price target (PT) of EUR 20.3 (from EUR 18.8), implying 26% upside potential. We appreciate the strong investor remuneration that we expect it to offer: on our estimates this should reach 7.3% in 2024E and 7.6% in 2025-26E, and could also be supported by proceeds from the sale of the Romanian business. We also see an easing in the competitive pressure in Greece as positive. On our estimates, OTE trades at 2025-26E EV/EBITDAs of 5.1-5.0x...
