Groupe SEB: H1 results: stronger-than-expected LFL but slight adj. EBIT miss

Groupe SEB: (BUY, Fair Value EUR190 (+29%))
H1 results: stronger-than-expected LFL but slight adj. EBIT miss
Q2 sales came in at EUR1,466m (+3.7%), fairly matching expectations (CS: EUR1,449m). LFL growth of 7.3% topped estimates (+6.2%e) and remained line with Q1 performance (+7.4%) thanks to robust trends in Greater China (+30%) and in Eastern Europe. Q2 adj. EBIT reached EUR85m shy of expectations (EUR90m), implying 50bp-contraction to 5.8% (vs. -130bp in Q1). Ahead of the analysts’ meeting today, FY sales guidance is revised up (“exceed 7%” vs. “exceed 5%” and CS at ~6%e) while the adj. EBIT target remains unchanged (“over 5% increase”).

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
