AAC Microtec - Low volumes induce quarterly volatility

Management states that Q119 results were broadly according to plan, although on an underlying basis (excluding prior period acquisition costs) both net sales and EBITDA were slightly lower. Ã…AC made modest progress, but Clyde saw a reduction due to business mix combined with lower platform sales in the period. Now that financing is being addressed by the underwritten rights issue, the main challenge for management is to execute on the growing backlog. Given the lumpy nature of revenues in the current low-volume platform environment, we maintain our estimates as we expect volumes to grow as the year progresses.
