Titan Cement 3Q FY24: Better Than Expected Results & Positive Outlook

Group sales during 3Q came in at €661.6m (KBCSe: €657.3m), down 0.2% YoY. Group EBITDA came in at €163.7m (excl. one-offs; KBCSe: €147.0m), up 5.2% on a YoY basis. YTD net profit is up approx. 20.0% at €238.0m. The group has continued to invest across the business with YTD group capex standing at €181.0m while also completing bolt-on acquisitions of 3 aggregates quarries, 1 clay quarry and 1 ready-mix unit. The US IPO of a minority stake of Titan America is expected to be completed by 1Q FY25, after which, we believe a re-rating of the group's value is on the cards. Also, we don't see any impact arising from Trump's presidency as any tariffs on the import of European cement will only further exacerbate the cement shortage across the US. We reiterate our BUY rating and upgrade our TP from €38.0 to €39.0, implying a upside of 19.4%.
