Smartphoto group A stronger performance in 2H24 although just below our forecasts

Increase in revenue of 4% y/y from € 77.3m in FY23 to € 80.5m (KBCSe € 81.5m) in FY24, driven by a strong 2H and an even stronger 4Q.
FY24 EBITDA increased y/y 13.1% to € 11.4m (KBCSe € 12.3m) reflecting ‘targeted investments in people and marketing', which according to Smartphoto already contributed to accelerated turnover growth and a stronger performance in 2H24 although just below our forecasts.
Increase in net cash of 0.8m from € 19.7m end FY23 to € 20.5m end FY24, and this notwithstanding the increased dividend payment, the additional buyback of treasury shares, and the acquisition of TopFanZ at the end of May 2024. We maintain our Buy rating although with a lower TP of € 32 (was € 38) in line with our updated model.
