AMBU UPGRADES FULL-YEAR 2022/23 EARNINGS EXPECTATIONS ON THE BACK OF PRELIMINARY Q3 2022/23 RESULTS

Ambu raises its expectations for EBIT margin before special items to 5 - 6% (previously 3 - 5%) for the full-year 2022/23, based on its preliminary Q3 results. For Q3 2022/23, EBIT before special items totalled DKK 91m (DKK 42m), with an EBIT-margin before special items of 7.6% (3.7%), mainly driven by a better-than-expected gross margin, based on product mix and lower distribution costs.



PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q3 2022/23

Last year’s comparative figures are stated in brackets.

  • Revenue was DKK 1,195m (DKK 1,128m), with organic growth of 8% (8%), driven by strong growth in Endoscopy Solutions. Reported growth for the quarter was 6% (16%). Year-to-date, organic growth was 5% (5%), with reported growth of 7% (10%).
  • Gross margin was 56.2% (55.8%) and 56.8% (58.2%) year-to-date. The gross margin is mainly impacted by a strengthened product mix, compared to plan, driven by Endoscopy Solutions.
  • EBIT before special items was DKK 91m (DKK 42m), corresponding to a margin of 7.6% (3.7%). Year-to-date, EBIT before special items ended at DKK 205m (DKK 129m), corresponding to a margin of 5.8% (3.9%), mainly driven by the gross margin and lower distribution costs.

Flattening revenues AND bulky valuation

Q2 largely inline with pre-announcement. Q2 was the peak for growth, H2 revenues flattening out. At 71x P/E Ambu needs time to grow into its bulky valuation.

Ambu (Buy, TP: DKK138.00) - Guidance still looks conservative

Having pre-released Q2 headline numbers and increased the 2024 guidance in mid-April, today’s detailed results provided few surprises. However, the important Endoscopy sales were slightly better than expected, and we find today’s guidance for >15% organic growth YOY (previously c15%) for that part of company still conservative, with potential for a further rise with the Q3 results. We reiterate our BUY and have increased our target price to DKK138 (130).
