Original-Research: Nabaltec AG - from NuWays AG
Classification of NuWays AG to Nabaltec AG
Strong Q2 figures // FY guidance raised; chg. Q2 sales grew 11% yoy to € 54.4m (eNuW: € 55m) thanks to 18% volume growth. Functional Fillers (+16% yoy) compensated for the still lagging Specialty Alumina segment (-1% yoy). Besides a pick up of demand for boehmite (+20% yoy), its environmental flame retardants (~63% of group sales) were the key driver, benefiting from rising investments into data centres and renewable energy sources and an improving US construction industry. H1 group sales +2.2% yoy to € 108m. Q2 EBIT jumped 79% yoy to € 5.9m, a 10.8% margin (+4.2pp yoy) thanks to improved capacity utilizations but also lower energy costs. H1 EBIT +28% yoy to € 10.9m (9.9% margin). The strong operational performance coupled with working capital normalizations lead to an operating cash flow of € 24m in H1, FCF of € 10m was due to planned investments into boehmite and gap filler capacities. The balance sheet remains strong with € 93m of cash and a net cash position of € 2.5m. FY24 guidance raised. Thanks to continued operational improvements in Q2 and sufficient visibility throughout H2, management raised its FY24 targets, now expecting 2-4% yoy sales growth (old: xxx; eNuW old: +3.9%) and an EBIT margin of 8-10% (old: 7-9%; eNuW old: 8.6%). The lower end of the margin guidance looks conservative (eNuW), as it implies a margin of only 5.7% for H2 (eNuW 8.1%). We confirm our BUY rating with an unchanged € 25 PT based on FCFY 2025e; Nabaltec remains on our Alpha List. Why to own the stock:
