Recticel Model update – still firepower for further growth

We have finetuned our earnings model post the FY23 results release. From a low base we expect Recticel to grow adjusted EBITDA by c. 33% in FY24, with about half of the growth coming from the recently acquired Rex business and the remainder mainly coming from savings initiatives. We expect building markets to only improve materially as from 2025. While we still believe in the strategic attractiveness of Recticel's (mainly) polyurethane focussed insulation offering, we deem valuation is about fair and hence we have a hold rating on the stock.
