IBA 1H25 Conference call feedback & model update

IBA reported good 1H25 results, with revenues up 40% to € 304.9m (kbcse: € 274.6m) driven by strong backlog conversion in PT as well as OA. However, as most of the conversion relates to legacy lower margin contracts in Spain and China, the gross profit increase of +27% to € 90.0m (kbcse: € 93.4m) and REBIT of € 10.6m (kbcse: € 10.3m) were broadly in line with our estimates. However net cash significantly deteriorated on the back of WC investments, as anticipated. We are pleased to see IBA reiterating its FY25 outlook, while mentioning that PT activity in the US and Asia remains strong, with no major impact from tariffs and the big beautiful bill expected in the short term. In China, IBA is reviewing its LT supply chain strategies, including potential relocation and partnerships. Buy, € 18.0 TP
