Better than expected 1Q17 operating results, with an impressive +21% increase in sales from 1Q16 and +18% in EBITDA, beating our estimates and the consensus. EBIT (+21%) was also robust. This strong performance should continue in the next quarters.
The orderbook declined slightly as new contract take up fell from €789mn in 1Q16 to €232mn in 1Q17, not enough to compensate work completed. This must not be seen as a negative as contracts won in 2016 ensure a strong manufacturing activity for at least the next three years. CAF can be selective when considering new bids to replenish its orderbook.
We are comfortable with operating results and continue recommending to Buy with a €39.5 target price.
