Filtronic - Upgrading on follow-on space order

Filtronic continues to benefit from the agreement signed with SpaceX in April – it has received a follow-on production order for E-band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) modules with shipment expected in CY25. As management anticipates this pushing FY25 revenue ahead of market expectations, we have upgraded our FY25 and FY26 revenue and EPS forecasts to reflect the new contract and the related vesting of warrants. While the maximum level of warrants has been earned from E-band product orders, we believe there is still potential for more orders at this frequency, in addition to the opportunity to supply products at different frequency bands.

Filtronic - Scaling up for future growth

FY24 was a pivotal year for Filtronic, with revenue growth of 56% and operating margins expanding 12.7pp to 14.2%, as adoption of its technology in the space market accelerated. Orders from Filtronic’s largest customer drove a marked step up in revenue in H224 and support our FY25 forecasts. The company is focused on diversifying and scaling the business to support sustained revenue and earnings growth.

Pan African Resources - Analysing H224 and looking forward to FY25

Pan African Resources’ (PAF’s) FY24 results, announced on 11 September, were within 1% of our prior forecasts for both EPS (4.14c cf 4.17c) and headline EPS (HEPS; 4.15c cf 4.17c). However, if the contract liability related to its ZAR400m financing facility for Mintails is stripped out, we calculate that PAF would have recorded HEPS of 5.27c, which would have been close to the top of the range of analysts’ expectations and also a record for both 12-month and six-month periods. While arguably academic for FY24, this nevertheless sets the stage for more material EPS and cash flow increases in th...

Greencoat Renewables - Efficient capital allocation and increasing demand

Greencoat Renewables’ (GRP’s) large and diversified pan-European portfolio of renewable energy assets generated net cash of €113.6m in H124 (H123: €125.5m). This equated to gross dividend cover of 3x at end-H124 and a six-month return of 8.6% on its December 2023 net asset value (NAV). NAV per share remained flat at 112.1c, due to less impactful power price movements in the period and strong cash generation offsetting depreciation and dividend payments. GRP’s weighted average cost of debt reduced from 3.3% to 3.1%, due to terming out of a more expensive RCF debt and refinancing a new €150m fiv...
