Nolato: Integrated Solutions can’t stop growing - ABG

EBITA in line, better than expected Q1’22 guidance
Guidance drives positive ’22e-’23e EBITA revisions
Trading at 17x-15x ’22e-’23e EV/EBITA (adj.)

Integrated Solutions shines, and more to come in Q1’22
Q4 sales were SEK 3,146m (+2% vs. ABGSCe 3,078, +2% vs. Infront cons. 3,083m), +26% y-o-y, of which 28% was organic (ABGSCe 25%) and -2% FX. Adj. EBITA was SEK 336m (-1% vs. ABGSCe 339m, -1% vs. cons. 340m), for a margin of 10.7% (ABGSCe 11.0%, cons. 11.0%). Net profit, however, deviated heavily (+57% vs. ABGSCe, +53% vs. cons) due to a SEK 115m positive NRI in net financials tied to revaluation of contingent consideration of the GW Plastics acquisition, which has struggled during the pandemic. Integrated Solutions saw impressive organic growth (+67%) from strong VHP sales, but this was in line with prior company guidance and therefore was not a surprise (EBITA was 0% vs. ABGSCe and -2% vs. cons.). Medical Solutions outperformed expectations (EBITA +9% vs. ABGSCe, +9% vs. cons.) and Industrial Solutions underperformed (EBITA -20% vs. ABGSCe, -20% vs. cons.) due to continued component shortage issues. For Q1’22, the company now guides for flat q-o-q sales growth for Integrated Solutions, which implies ~40% y-o-y growth and is 16% above our pre-Q4 estimate for the segment.

’22e-’23e adj. EBITA raised on Integrated Solutions guidance
We raise our ’22e-’23e adj. EBITA estimates by 3%, primarily due to higher expected growth in the Integrated Solutions segment following the positive company guidance. We also raise our Medical Solutions estimates slightly and lower our Industrial Solutions estimates on the Q4 numbers.
