Catella: PIM continues to show strenght in Q3 - ABG

Q3’21 EBIT of SEK 51m vs ABGSC at 39m
AUM came in at SEK 112bn, flat q-o-q
The stock remains very attractive on multiples

Catella reported a Q3’21 EBIT of SEK 51m (259m), which is 30% above ABGSC, which expected SEK 39m. The main deviation compared to ABGSC estimates was stronger operating profit from the property investment management segment. Looking at the operational segments, the operating profit in Corporate Finance was SEK -3m, driven by Q3 being a seasonally slower quarter. The property investment management segment reported a strong Q3’21 where operating profit came in at SEK 57m, which was 47% higher than ABGSC expected, partly driven by APAM in the UK. Principal investment segment reported an operating profit of SEK 7m in the third quarter, which was slightly higher than ABGSC expected, in addition the segment invested some SEK 100m in ongoing projects.

The Property investment management continues to show strength. We do expect small negative estimate revisions for consensus driven by lower AUM, but given the solid beat today, the share should come up with a few p.p. in our opinion. The stock remains very attractive on multiples, currently trading on an EV/EBIT of 6x on our 2022 estimates, which is more than 50% below our peer group.
