SinterCast: Solid quarter and positive outlook into Q4 - ABG

Q3: Solid production volumes, EBIT +11% vs. ABGSCe
SinterCast reported Q3 sales of SEK 25.3m (-5% vs. ABGSCe 26.7m), up 32% y-o-y. Annualised engine equivalents for the quarter were 3.2m (Q3’20 2.8m) marking seven straight months at 3m or above. Sampling cup volumes declined sequentially since customers had stocked up their inventories in Q2’21, but volumes were still up 8% y-o-y. EBIT was SEK 8.0m (+11% vs. ABGSCe SEK 7.2m), for a margin of 31.6% (ABGSCe 27.0%). The EBIT beat was driven in part by a higher gross margin (75% vs. ABGSCe 72%), as well as some FX tailwinds. Moreover, the company says Q4 is expected to be a strong quarter for system installations (’21 guidance of SEK 8m implies SEK 3.8m equipment sales in Q4’21). SinterCast also stated that the ambition is to reach the 4m engine equivalents milestone during ’22.

Q4’21e installations raised, ’22e engine eqs. down slightly
We raise ’21e EBIT by 5%, of which 3% is due to the isolated Q3 numbers and another 2% from raised Q4’21e equipment sales as Q4 looks to be a stronger quarter than we had expected for system installations. Meanwhile, we lower ’22e EBIT by 8% as the company’s outlook for engine equivalents, while positive, was somewhat lower than our previous estimates.

Trading at 20x ’22e EV/EBIT, 3-7% ’21e-’23e dividend yield
On our estimates, the share is currently trading at 20x ’22e EV/EBIT, offering a 3-7% dividend yield for ’21e-’23e. According to the company, its customers in North America (the largest end-user market) are now at all-time-low inventory levels, and our view is that the ensuing pent-up demand as production returns to normal will drive a ’20-’23e EBIT CAGR of 46%, albeit from a low ’20 EBIT. All in all, we raise our fair value range slightly to SEK 132-241 (130-236) per share.
