PhotoCure (Buy, TP: NOK155.00) - Improved outlook in Europe

Q4 saw slightly stronger sales than consensus and we had forecast, but bottom-line earnings were hit by one-off costs from the Ipsen earn-out. However, the value of future earn-outs should grow as Photocure believes the acquired markets are performing better than it had previously expected. 2022 is set to be back-end-loaded, related to BLC placements in the US. We reiterate our BUY and target price of NOK155, despite our near-term estimate cuts.
