FY22 results show a platform for growth

For the year to 31 December 2022, Mpac Group reported revenue of £97.7m, +3.6%YoY, EBITDA (adj.) of £6.8m, ahead of our outlook, -39.3%YoY, and PBT of £3.5m. Service revenue grew 14.4%YoY to 23.6% of the total. The year-end closing order book was £67.2m (FY21: £78.4m). Net debt was £4.7m, which we expect to revert to a £7.5m net cash position in FY23.

Tony Steels, who has led the Group since 2016, has announced his retirement. COO Adam Holland will become CEO post-AGM on 17 May. Adam joined Mpac in late 2022 having held senior positions worldwide at JCB, Siemens AG and Rolls-Royce.

We raised our FY23 revenue outlook in January from £103.6m to £104.7m, (adj.) EBITDA by 13% to £9.6m, and our FY24 revenue outlook from £113.4m to £115.8m, with (adj.) EBITDA from £12.9m to £13.0m. We retain these estimates and our fair value for Mpac remains 485p/share, indicative of a FY24 EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.9x.
