WOOD Flash – Mo-BRUK: 4Q22 headlines miss our expectations slightly, but due mostly to one-off costs

This morning (30 March), Mo-BRUK (MBR) reported its 4Q22 results, with EBITDA of PLN 30m, down 18% yoy, but up 5% qoq. This missed both our and the market’s expectations by 8-9%, although we note that it stems mostly from PLN 2.4m in other operating costs, which we believe are more one-off in nature. We had assumed no one-off items in our forecasts. Adjusted for this, the results would be almost on a par with our expectations, with slightly higher-than-expected revenues, but on a somewhat lower gross margin (we believe that this might stem from a lower share of the incineration segment in the sales mix than we had assumed, which we believe is the most profitable segment). Our first impression of the reported 4Q numbers is therefore rather neutral.
