Benefit Systems: strong momentum continues (stays BUY)
We maintain our BUY on Benefit Systems (BFT). Our new 12-month price target (PT) of PLN 3,400 (up by 26%) offers 23% potential upside. We have increased our 2024-26E adjusted EBIT forecasts by 20-26%, due mostly to our higher profitability assumptions, reflecting the positive surprises in recent quarters, the company’s strong January-February guidance, and our 1Q24E expectations. We expect 32% yoy growth in the adjusted EBIT this year, driven by 24% top-line growth and 1.3ppt yoy higher profitability. This places us 9% above the Bloomberg consensus. We see the 1Q24 churn in Czechia as temporary, and we expect a return to growth in the card base abroad from 2Q24E. BFT is trading at an adjusted non-IFSR16 EV/EBITDA of 9.1x, close to its peers, but still below its long-term historical average.Benefit System SA is a Poland-based company engaged in providing work benefits in the area of sport, recreations, culture and entertainment for employers.
