Scanfil: Clear top line beat - Evli Research

Scanfil’s Q1 was a clear positive surprise in terms of revenue. Profitability was more in line with expectations. Scanfil did not revise its guidance but updated the segment structure.

Scanfil Q1 revenue was EUR 163m vs the EUR 152m/151m Evli/consensus estimates. Top line grew by 13% y/y.

Scanfil updated its segment structure. The new five segments are called Advanced Consumer Applications, Automation & Safety, Connectivity, Energy & Cleantech, and Medtech & Life Science. Q1 growth was strongest in Advanced Consumer Applications, the largest segment that also includes elevators business. Energy & Cleantech, the second largest (includes e.g. reverse vending machines), also developed well.

Scanfil Q1 EBIT amounted to EUR 10.0m, compared to the EUR 10.5m/10.0m Evli/consensus estimates. Operating margin was therefore 6.1% (6.0% a year ago).

Scanfil guides EUR 600-640m in revenue and EUR 40-44m in adjusted EBIT for FY ’21 (unchanged). Uncertainty continues with respect to the availability of certain materials, especially semiconductors. The pandemic may also have a negative impact on customer demand and supply chain delivery capability.

Scanfil says there was scarcity in certain materials, however this did not have any major impact.
