Outotec lowers its sales guidance for 2019 due to announced intention to divest three businesses, and delays in certain already received and anticipated orders

Outotec’s Board of Directors has today revised the company’s sales guidance for 2019 due to the announced intentions to divest three businesses in the Metals, Energy & Water segment (Stock Exchange Release on December 10, 2019), and delays in certain received and anticipated orders leading to lower sales recognition.

The businesses to be divested will be classified as discontinued operations in Outotec’s 2019 results. For the financial year 2019, the intended actions will lower the expected sales by approximately EUR 50 million but increase the adjusted EBIT* by approximately EUR 40 million. The restated comparable sales for the financial year 2018 would have been approximately EUR 1,200 million, EUR 80 million lower from the 2018 reported sales. The restated adjusted EBIT* for 2018 would have increased by EUR 20 million to approximately EUR 84 million (excluding provision for the ilmenite smelter project).

New financial guidance for 2019 for the continuing operations

Based on the current market outlook, and the announced intention to divest three businesses in the Metals, Energy & Water segment, whereby these businesses will be classified as discontinued operations, the sales is expected to be flat compared to the restated 2018 sales and adjusted EBIT* will increase significantly from the restated 2018 adjusted EBIT* of approximately EUR 84 million, excluding provision for the ilmenite smelter project.

Previous financial guidance for 2019

Based on the current market outlook, we expect sales to increase, and adjusted EBIT* to increase significantly from the 2018 adjusted EBIT* (EUR 63.8 million), excluding provision for the ilmenite smelter project.

*Excluding restructuring- and acquisition-related items, as well as PPA amortizations.

ODDO : Favour Metso while waiting for the next cycle

We are initiating coverage of the mining equipment segment with Metso on Outperform, Sandvik on Neutral and Epiroc on Underperform. We have adopted a cautious scenario with demand stable or slightly up in the short term (mining business sales up +3% on average between 2024 and 2026), pending positive signals indicating a rebound in greenfield investments (not before 2027, in our view). In this scenario, we think that Metso should confirm the progress achieved in 2023 (margin impr...

ODDO : Privilégier Metso dans l’attente du prochain cycle

Nous initions le segment des équipementiers miniers avec Metso à Surperformance, Sandvik à Neutre et Epiroc à Sous-performance. Nous adoptons un scénario prudent avec une demande stable ou en légère hausse à court terme (CA des activités minières en hausse moyenne de 3% entre 2024 et 2026), dans l’attente de signaux positifs indiquant un rebond des investissements greenfield (pas avant 2027 selon nous). Dans ce scénario, nous estimons que Metso devrait confirmer les progrès réali...

Metso (Buy, TP: EUR12.50) - Regaining traction

Q4 order and earnings beats were supported by Services, while a solid proposed DPS and raised Aggregates outlook offered relief, in our view. Although our 2024–2025e clean EBITA are unchanged, we have raised our target price to EUR12.5 (11.5). We reiterate our BUY.
