RECTICEL: Solid 2H20 results - Sale of Bedding is the next logical transformation step

Recticel’s solid 2H20 performance with 10% adj EBITDA growth despite an inflationary raw materials environment is another demonstration of the improved pricing power/discipline in combination with ongoing efficiency improvements. The decision to divest Bedding is now formally taken and should free up additional resources to further accelerate growth of the core Engineered Foams & Insulation businesses. We see Recticel gradually transforming in a higher margin company with significantly improved free cash flow generation potential. The Insulation business provides Recticel with an attractive profile for ESG oriented investors. With our SOTP model still leaving upside, we maintain our Accumulate rating and € 13 target price.
