Berner Industrier - Strong across the board - ABG

Q2 results
Orders were up 12% y-o-y and 3% below our estimate. Sales grew 7% y-o-y (+5% org.) and were 7% above our estimate. With a margin of 10.4%, 2.9pp above our estimate, EBITA adj. was 49% above our estimate. EBITA included non-recurring items with a negative margin impact of 1.4pp. The margin beat was driven equally by the two segments. T&D saw growth in high-margin areas and operational improvements in Christian Berner AB seem to be materialising faster than we had expected. E&E saw strong deliveries with a favourable product mix. All-in-all a strong report.

Estimate changes
The Q2 numbers in isolation imply EBITA adj. comes up 11%. We believe that the strong showing in T&D should at least partially be extrapolated while the favourable mix in E&E should probably not be. Management stated that the market is overall stable but still hesitant.
