Systemair acquires Group SCS

Press Release, 15 March 2023

Systemair AB (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm: SYSR) has acquired UK-based SCS Engineering Ltd, and its subsidiary Smoke Control Services Ltd, together Group SCS.

“This acquisition is a great addition to our fire safety offer and provides Systemair with capabilities within smoke control systems for residential multifamily houses says Roland Kasper, CEO of Systemair. Group SCS’s competence in designing, assembling, commissioning, and servicing complete smoke control solutions, including advanced control systems, will further strengthen our position in the Residential segment which is one of our targeted growth areas within Systemair. As new regulations are coming into effect in the UK in 2023, Group SCS is well-positioned to capture business opportunities in both renovation and new installations of smoke control systems.

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK90.00) - Margin volatility

After updating our model for the weaker Q3 results than forecast, we have reduced our 2024/25–2026/27e adj. EBIT by c9% on average as we expect lower profitability. We have cut our target price to SEK90 (105) and reiterate our HOLD on limited upside potential. While we expect improving organic growth, we have low confidence in the margin target (10% on EBIT) due to the margin volatility, and find the valuation fair.

Set for spicy growth

Our recent field trip to India (visiting Volvo, Epiroc, Trelleborg, Autoliv and others) alongside our analysis suggests the country is set to take centre stage as a global manufacturing hub over the coming decade, shifting from being the sixth- to the third-largest end-market for the Swedish Industrial sector. India’s strong economic growth trajectory and favourable demographics mean the companies: 1) see double-digit growth as sustainable; 2) are pursuing manufacturing capacity expansions; and ...

Who stands to benefit?

A potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could unlock one of the largest reconstruction efforts in modern history. The World Bank estimates Ukraine will need USD486bn in rebuilding efforts over the next decade, but we estimate this would add only c2% to annual European construction spending. While the direct earnings effect may be modest, we expect the “rebuild Ukraine theme” to drive investor sentiment. We see Volvo, Epiroc, Hexagon, Metso, Hiab and ABB as some of the primary beneficia...

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK105.00) - Closing in on margin target

Q2 2024/25 brought another strong adj. EBIT margin, and the CEO remains confident in overall market conditions. We have raised our 2024/25–2026/27e adj. EBIT by c8% on average, and our target price to SEK105 (85) dafter updating our valuation metrics. However, Systemair tends to see some performance volatility quarter to quarter (partly due to its project nature), and the stock is still trading above historical average multiples; with limited upside potential, we reiterate our HOLD.

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK85.00) - On the right margin path

Systemair’s gross margin gains reinforce our confidence in profitability from here. However, our 2024/25–2026/27 adj. EBIT forecasts are largely unchanged post-Q1, with lower top-line estimates broadly offset by higher margin assumptions. We reiterate our HOLD and SEK85 target price, with the valuation looking fair, minimal differences between our estimates and consensus, and the market already pricing in expectations of improving market dynamics and expanding margins.
