AGM statement: momentum maintained
In a statement accompanying the AGM, Mpac Group reports that the positive momentum of Q4 22 has been maintained, with order intake and quotation activity significantly ahead year-on-year. As expected, pressure on working capital has eased - the completion of orders and shipment of equipment means that Q1 23 closed with a positive net cash position, which is expected to be maintained in H1.This is a clear validation of the steps undertaken in the latter part of FY22 and a strong positive indicator for the current year. We note that Mpac expects trading to be second-half weighted, with the order book sufficient to meet revenue expectations. The positive momentum reported should continue.
The core message of this AGM statement is that Mpac continues to focus on its key markets, notably Healthcare and Food & Beverage, where the shortage of key components in FY22 constrained the ability to deliver, and where there is now evidence of healthy demand.
Our fair value for Mpac remains 485p/share, indicative of a FY24 EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.9x.
Mpac Group is focused on its Packaging Machinery business, Mpac Langen, which designs, precision engineers and manufactures packaging solutions, machinery and high specification automation, secondary packaging equipment and end-of-line robotics and at-line instrumentation and testing solutions as well as providing solutions including the design and integration of packaging systems.
