IBA FIRST LOOK: FY25 REBIT +58%, FY26 guidance of at least 17% growth

IBA reported solid FY25 results, with revenues up 24% to € 620m (kbcse: € 614m), driven by an accelerated backlog conversion and good order intake. However, gross profit margins still contracted by 150bps to 32.2%, driven by negative mix effects from legacy lower margin PT contracts. Nevertheless, as this was already anticipated, the FY25 REBIT of € 27.4m came in above the guidance of at least € 25m and was in line with our forecast. The 2026 guidance calls for a REBIT of at least € 32m (kbcse: € 41.4m), with the improvement expected to be driven by further progress on the Spanish contract. Despite the lower than expected 2026 guidance, we reiterate our Buy rating and € 18.0 TP.
