The gross margin on the distribution and retail segment improved to 13.7% vs 12.2% in Q2’24. On the cost side, it is worth noting that cost of materials increased by only 0.3% YoY. Net financial cost increased 63.2% Yo, mainly on growth of interest cost. The profitability received significant boost from the income from associated companies, which surged by 117.5% YoY to BGN 11.5m, most of it coming from Doverie. The consolidated net income after minority interest came to BGN 30.1m (EPS of BGN 0.18), +86.3% YoY and 1.1% above our estimate.

Note that EPS are calculated with the number of outstanding shares as of 30 June. Current number of shares is 3 times higher as a result of capital increase with own funds. The non-cash working capital rose by BGN 205.9m since the beginning of the year, mainly on higher level of trade receivables as well as lower payables.
