Where Ferry revenues are down only 12% in 1H20 and Air only -18.7% YoY, Bus revenues is actually up 1% in 1H20 due to star-up in Sweden and new contracts in Norway. Moreover, with cost initiatives implemented, the blended EBITDA margin is set to decline only 1.2pp from 14.1% to 12.9%. The investment case in TORG is therefore highly compelling as we see it at a 2021 P/E of 10x adj. for the 6% ownership stake in NTS. Indeed, with a order backlog of NOK42bn with a duration of 7-8 years, TORG is set for significant revenue growth from a trough in 2020 (CAGR of 16% between 2006-2019).
