CANCOM is scheduled to release final Q4 figures on March 20. The same day, an Analyst Conference will take place. Preliminary figures have already been published.

  • While the top line was slightly weaker than last year, the EBITDA figures reflect a higher margin revenue mix (more services revenues).
  • As the company has concluded the transformation process to a Societas Europaea (SE), EPS-accretive acquisitions might be on the company's agenda going forward.
  • Cancom added that the weaker economic environment and run-up costs for the switch to Cancom Cloud solutions will burden Q1/13 sales and earnings.
  • As a result, Q1/13 numbers will come in below Q1/12 numbers
  • We will review our PT and estimates after the Analyst Conference.

The Buy rating is reiterated.
