Sales advance by 21.5% to £97.8m in FY2023
A better than-expected 21.5% increase in sales revenue to £97.8m, higher EBITDA margins and strong cash conversion were the key features of today’s Marks Electrical Group (MRK) FY2023 trading update. In addition, a positive start to April augurs well for FY2024, a year in which we expect to see further market share gains and expansion of the product and service offering.The central investment case for the shares remains firmly in place, in our view. The company is well invested to meet demand growth in its business operationally as well as enjoying significant scope to generate this demand growth through increased brand awareness. Furthermore, market share is comparatively small at around 3% despite three consecutive years of exponential progress in sales.
With a trailing EV/sales ratio of only 0.8x we continue to argue that the shares appear undervalued and reiterate our fair value of 150p for the shares.
