Carclo - FY19 likely to be a game of two halves
As flagged in the October trading update, Carclo’s H119 performance was adversely affected by delays in commencing three medical programmes. Moreover, all of the new vehicle production programmes planned for FY19, with their attendant start-up inefficiencies, started during the first six months. While these events held back first-half performance, they augur well for a second-half recovery. We therefore leave our estimates broadly unchanged. The reduction in our indicative valuation from144-153p to 125-133p reflects a 24% drop in the prospective P/E multiple for automotive peers since June, rather than a change in Carclo’s investment proposition.Carclo is a global manufacturer of fine tolerance parts for the medical, industrial, aerospace and premium automotive lighting markets. Co. has four business segments: Technical Plastics, which supplies fine tolerance, injection molded plastic components used in medical, optical and electronics products; LED Technologies, which develops solutions in LED lighting and engages in the development of high power LED lighting for the premium automotive industry; Aerospace, which supplies systems to the manufacturing and aerospace industries; and CIT Technology, which manages its portfolio of IP over the digital printing of conductive metals onto plastic substrates.
