Following December's profit warning, Ekopak again astounded the markets yesterday by announcing an approximate €8m revenue restatement of its recently published FY24 numbers. We were surprised to learn that the restatement pertained to revenue recognition of engineering efforts linked to the Waterkracht project, which was not disclosed at the time of the FY24 release. Additionally, the company is investigating balance sheet strengthening measures, which will likely result in a dilutive capital i...
After trading was suspended for two days, Ekopak issued a statement announcing the restatement of the FY24 figures published early March. The restatement is linked to reversed revenue recognition linked to Waterkracht. During the FY24 analyst call, management stated no material one-off equipment/engineering sales linked to either Waterkracht or Circeaulair were in the numbers. Hence the material €8m downwards revenue revision comes as a complete surprise. The company further acknowledges that a ...
Last December, Ekopak lowered its 2024 revenue guidance by approximately €15 million. The adjustment was ascribed to a faster-than-anticipated adoption of WaaS solutions, as industrial customers, facing a challenging macroeconomic climate, increasingly prefer an opex model over a capex model. We commend the accelerated traction in WaaS commercialization, which is expected to yield recurring high-margin revenues in the mid-term.

It is integrating GWE and centralising local engineering, production & supporting services in new corporate facilities in Ghent. The major positive surprise from the release was the announcement that -following lengthy negotiations over the past years- Waterkracht will be operational as of late 2026. As...
We reworked our model following the FY23 results, the AR publication and a NDR with management. FY23 operational CF performance was solid as expected. 2024 capex guidance exceeded our expectations while NWC management was considerably better than forecast. The 2028 targets were reconfirmed and -dixit management- could be outperformed considerably. The GWE acquisition is fast tracking the international expansion of Ekopak, the pioneer in circular decentralised process water.
Ekopak delivered a good operational performance over FY23 in line with expectations and the outlook drawn for 2024 matches our revenue forecasts. Below are key take-aways from the analyst call with CEO and CFO. Our first read of the press release made to much of the statement on strategy finetuning: the company has no intentions to do acquisitions in the short term.
