Ontex Conference call feedback
Below are the highlights of the 3Q conference call. Ontex 3Q LFL top line growth of +1.7% was slightly lower than market consensus (whilst close to KBCS) and the company did also lower its FY24 LFL top line guidance (from 4-5% growth to 2-3%), citing some temporary elements on the ramp up of new US customers. 3Q adjusted EBITDA jumped 29% and was close to our and consensus forecasts, with FY24 adjusted EBITDA margin maintained at 12% which is the 9M24 level and also baked into our and consensus forecasts for FY24. With the recent agreement to divest the Brazilian business, Ontex is also making progress on its strategy execution. On the back of the much improved earnings momentum, solid growth prospects/ambitions in North America and the attractive intrinsic forward valuation, we maintain our BUY rating and € 12 target price.Ontex Group NV is a Belgium-based company, which operates in the manufacturing sector of industry.
