Recticel FIRST LOOK: FY22 EBITDA in line, no FY23 guidance at this stage

Including the 8-month contribution from Trimo, FY22 adjusted EBITDA increased by 28% to 62.2m, which was in line with our and consensus forecasts. Sales momentum slowed sequentially in 4Q. No FY23 guidance is provided at this stage. Importantly, management reiterated confidence in the Engineered Foams deal with Carpenter, of which closing is expected at the end of 1Q23. We expect a capital return and potentially also some other M&A activity after the expected closing and maintain our Accumulate rating.
