Riber - Pandemic stretching out sales cycles

Riber’s H120 results show the impact of a delay in completing a production MBE system because of issues in obtaining key components during the pandemic. While management expects FY20 revenues of €30m, based on the existing order book, we are reducing our FY20 gross margin estimate, which cuts our FY20 PBT estimate from €0.3m to break-even. Noting the delays in closing orders, we model fewer deliveries of MBE systems during FY21, which reduces our FY21 PBT estimate by €0.8m to €2.0m.
