Sphera Franchise Group cut to HOLD, TP RON 18.6 - Black clouds on the horizon

We downgrade Sphera from BUY to HOLD due to the strong increase in prices for raw materials and the expectations for lower economic growth
For 2022e we expect to see an increase in sales of approx. 20% yoy, given the lifting of the restriction and the strong brand recognition
Although we see a growth in the groups Adj. EBITDA margin over the next three years, we expect the profitability to remain below the pre-Covid levels
The company will most probably limit the dividends for the next six years to a maximum of RON 35 mn per year if the loan agreement is approved by the shareholders
