Ekopak Surprising press release triggers sell off

Following December's profit warning, Ekopak again astounded the markets yesterday by announcing an approximate €8m revenue restatement of its recently published FY24 numbers. We were surprised to learn that the restatement pertained to revenue recognition of engineering efforts linked to the Waterkracht project, which was not disclosed at the time of the FY24 release. Additionally, the company is investigating balance sheet strengthening measures, which will likely result in a dilutive capital increase. Ekopak also announced plans to strengthen its management team, with further communication t...

Ekopak Restatement FY24, balance sheet to be strengthened

After trading was suspended for two days, Ekopak issued a statement announcing the restatement of the FY24 figures published early March. The restatement is linked to reversed revenue recognition linked to Waterkracht. During the FY24 analyst call, management stated no material one-off equipment/engineering sales linked to either Waterkracht or Circeaulair were in the numbers. Hence the material €8m downwards revenue revision comes as a complete surprise. The company further acknowledges that a liquidity shortfall might occur and that the balance sheet will be strengthened opening the door for...

Heineken Feedback conference call

Below are the highlights of the conference call. As previously hinted at, Heineken did report a fairly weak 1Q trading update with beer volumes down 2.1%, impacted ao by the timing of Easter, Tet and one trading day less. Importantly, Heineken did stick to its FY25 guidance range of 4-8% organic operating profit (beia) growth. We still appreciate Heineken for the earnings recovery potential in coming years, supported by sizeable cost savings initiatives (€ 400m/y). We maintain our Accumulate rating and € 100 target price.

ASML Weaker order intake, disappointing 2Q25 outlook, strong GPm

ASML 1Q25 revenues were in line with expectation and EPS was better than expected. However, the order intake and 2Q25 outlook are below CSS. The EPS outperformance in 1Q25 was driven by the strong GPm. ASML sold more expensive EUV tools at a richer configuration and due to the fact that they met customer-specific performance targets. The outlook for 2025 remains unchanged. If uncertainties continue ASML sees FY25 revenues at the low end of the guided € 30-35bn range. AI demand could drive the high end of the range although we expect FY25 revenues closer to the low end of the range as we expect...
