IBA Not only cars have long delivery times

Last week, IBA reported an unexpected net loss of € 27.3m in 1H23 (kbcse: € +5.5m). The miss was driven by delays as well as increased costs in preparation of upcoming projects and future sales. However, after revisiting our estimates, we expect a significant ramp up in the backlog conversion for the remainder of the year, with our new estimates implying a 30% growth in 2H23. This should result in a strong operating leverage effect and absorption of overhead costs. Although we don't expect IBA to fully recoup the net loss of 1H23, we think IBA will be close to EBIT break even by year end. We reiterate our Buy rating but lower our TP from € 21.5 to € 18.0 ps.
