LHV Institutional 'Silvano Fashion Group (SFG1T ET), Annual Review

Please find attached our Annual Review of AS Silvano Fashion Group, a company which designs, manufactures, distributes, and retails lingerie products.
* AS Silvano Fashion Group (‘Silvano’ or the ‘Group’) consists of production units and entities that specialise in distribution and retail. The Group’s vertical integration lets it capture the overwhelming share of added value, from product development to retail. Silvano generates over half of its revenues in Russia and about one-third from Belarus.The largest of the Group’s manufacturing facilities – the Milavitsa factory in Minsk, Belarus – permits it to export goods to Russia without incurring the customs duties currently imposed on exports from the European Union.
* As Silvano generates strong cash flows and has no traditional debt to repay, we expect it to maintain a hefty payout ratio once the Russia-Ukraine crisis ends. Currently, we assume that the Group will resume dividend payments from 2023 onwards. We have reassessed our fair value range for Silvano based on the Group’s operating performance and macro factors in its key markets. Given that the earnings outlook in its key markets is drastically changed, we have revised our forecasts and, accordingly, have changed our fair value range from EUR 1.90-2.10 to EUR 1.29-1.43.
* Major risk factors to our valuation include the Russian aggression against Ukraine, potential unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates, retail stores/factory closures due to the COVID-19 crisis, complications in logistics, and further deterioration in the Russian/Belarusian economies, potentially leading to lower than expected retail spending.This report contains a full set of financial forecasts and is useful for gaining an initial insight into the company. Please also refer to the tables and charts in the attachment.
