PPC (Results Q2/H1 2014 results)- Βy Manos Chatz.

PPC (Results Q2/H1 2014 results): The company will release its H1 earnings today before the opening of the market. Consensus forecasts expect Q2 sales to decline by 6.2% y-o-y at €1,373.8m, EBITDA 29.8% down at €233.3m and net profits to reach €20.7m, -73.3% y-o-y. 

Results are negatively affected by: Declining demand; Lower tariffs in high and mid voltage; Unfavorable SMP-RES differential prices; increased CO2 expenses due to the higher utilization of lignite factories; increased capacity payments. 

However we expect improvements on the cost side (payroll, gas prices) lower provisions and lower energy purchases. The company will host a conference call today at 17:30 local time. Focus on IPTO sale, “mini PPC” and changes in market regulatory framework.

¡  GR + 30 211 180 2000,
¡  UK + 44 (0) 800 368 1063
