Improvement in sales and profit - Positive effects of the reorganisation are becoming increasingly visible - Considerable organic growth expected in 2017 - Target price of 10.50 EUR and rating BUY maintained
In H1 2017, euromicron AG generated sales of EUR 153.64 million, thus around 10.0% more than in the previous year. All business fields contributed to this increase. The highest absolute sales growth was generated in the 'Smart Buildings' segment. This segment was able to increase its sales by EUR 8.12 million to EUR 88.62 million (+10.2%) yearon -year. The main cause of this was the improved sales performance of euromicron Deutschland GmbH and ELABO GmbH.
The positive sales performance was also reflected in the earnings figures. Consequently, EBITDA was reported at -0.88 million EUR, compared to -3.46 million EUR in the previous year. The 'Smart Buildings' segment was mainly responsible for this significant profit improvement. Moreover, the operating profit was reduced by restructuring costs of EUR 1.53 million (PY: EUR 1.77 million). Adjusted for special effects from restructuring measures, operating EBITDA was EUR 0.65 million, compared to -1.69 million EUR in the previous year.
Of special note here is that the measures announced by management to increase profitability have been implemented and are increasingly affecting earnings. The new orientation of the Group, which was initiated in 2015, was completed for the most part in 2016. Therefore, we are expecting significantly lower pressure on earnings from reorganisation measures for FY 2017.
For FY 2017, we expect an improvement in sales and earnings. We expect sales of EUR 335.00 million, mainly from the 'Critical Infrastructures' segment, and EBITDA of EUR 12.61 million. These again contain extraordinary expenses of EUR 2.5 million in connection with the restructuring of the Group. Adjusted operating EBITDA (adjusted for restructuring effects) is thus expected to be at EUR 15.1 million; this corresponds to an operating EBITDA margin of 4.5%. For the following year 2018, we do not expect any further extraordinary expenses, which should result in EBITDA increasing to EUR 19.6 million. We expect an EBITDA margin of 5.5% to be achieved as a result of this.
Based on the confirmed forecasts for FY 2017 and 2018, we have kept our target price for euromicron AG at the same level. The fair market value based on our DCF model is EUR 10.50 (previously: EUR 10.50). Based on the current share price, this results in an unchanged BUY rating. On the basis of the previous reorganisation successes, the existing potential for increasing efficiency and potential synergies, as well as the further expansion of business in the direction of the 'IoT' growth market, significantly higher margins than have been attained thus far should be achievable over the long term. Moreover, the company has already shown in the past that it is capable of doing so. In view of this, it seems to us that the euromicron AG share is favourably valued.
