Recticel Feedback conference call

Below are the highlights from the 1H results conference call. On the back of double digit underlying volume growth, 1H Adj EBITDA jumped by 38% to € 25.1m, which was roughly in line with our forecast and c 3m above consensus. Although Recticel expects to have seen the market bottom in Western Europe whilst noting an improvement in the UK, FY guidance of around € 50m adjusted EBITDA is slightly below our and consensus forecasts of respectively € 52m and € 54m. Although we do believe in the longer term growth prospects of the insulation market, short term multiples are not particularly appealing and so we decided to reiterate our Hold rating for now.
