BHG: Solid growth but margins dissappoint - ABG

10% PF organic sales growth
Adj. EBIT margin down 3pp y-o-y
Consensus ’22 estimates expected to come down 2-3%

Sales of SEK 3,061m was 5% above ABGSC 2,925m and +2% vs cons, including organic sales growth of 10% on a pro forma basis. Adj. EBIT SEK 165m (-11% vs ABGSC 186m and -10% vs cons 182m), reported EBIT SEK 123m (-27% vs ABGSC 169m and -19% vs cons 153m) and Net profit SEK 61.7 (-51% vs ABGSC 125.3 and -42% vs cons 105.9). Looking into the divisions, we note that the Home Furnishing segment was particularly weak, burdened by supply chain issues. DIY reported EBIT 7% below our expectations. Consensus ’21 est. expected to come down 3-4% but we stress that the stock has been weak going into the report.

Mainly due to profitability challenges in Home Furnishing, the report was a slight disappointment, although the solid organic growth figures are reassuring on a mid-term basis. We expect consensus ’21 estimates to come down by 3-4% but ‘22e 2-3% on the back of the soft margin in Home Furnishing. BHG will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. Call in details: +46 8 566 427 06
