D'Ieteren 1H25: Soft results, but reiterated outlook implies large step up in 2H25
1H25 results disappointed, with the adj. PBT (gs) down 22.7% to € 452.4m (kbcse: € 493m, css: € 475m). On a comparable basis, the adj. PBT (gs) only decreased by 8.4%, falling short of the “slight improvement” guided for FY25. The miss was driven by soft results at TVH Parts and only modest margin improvement at Belron. While the reiteration of the FY25 outlook implies a big step up in Belron's margins in 2H25, we give the group the benefit of the doubt. This because management highlighted during the conference call that 1H25 margins were impacted by fewer trading days and investments, while volumes showed encouraging trends over the summer months.
