Q1e: de-stocking still to weigh on Medical
We expect Nolato to report Q1 sales of SEK 2,322m, down 6% y-o-y (-6% organic growth). As management warned following the Q4 report, we expect continued de-stocking in Medical, particularly in surgical equipment, which should weigh on both organic growth and margins. Within Engineering Solutions (Nolato's new segment, a merger of Integrated and Industrial), vaporiser heating products should now have stabilised on a sequential basis, albeit still down y-o-y, but the shortfall is now small enough to have a very limited impact at the group level. We estimate an EBITA of SEK 195m, roughly flat y-o-y, for a margin of 8.4% (7.8%). We are 1% below FactSet consensus on Q1 EBITA ahead of the numbers.
