Tessenderlo Feedback Analyst & Asset Manager Day
Tessenderlo reiterated FY25 guidance at the occasion of its Investor event yesterday. We note that Luc Tack expressed his desire to become more strict in allocating capex, whilst in terms of activity portfolio there are no sacred cows and management asks themselves whether they are still the best owner of their businesses. The deal with Darling Ingredients on gelatin & collagen is progressing with deal closing probable in 2H26. We continue to appreciate Tessenderlo for its healthy FCF generation...

Miko 1H25 saw significant price increases next to a 7% y/y volume incr...
The significant price increases next to a 7% y/y volume increase helped to protect its 1H25 results. We updated our model incorporating that coffee prices remain high and volatile. Also Miko indicated that thanks to these price evolutions it is very difficult to make any predictions about the future. We also incorporated that recently Miko has secured a €6.75m settlement in a dispute over the earn-out following the sale of the plastics processing division in 2021. The result of this settlement ...

Miko Secured a full and final settlement of € 6.75min dispute over ear...
Miko has received a final earn-out payment of €6.75m on the sale of its plastics processing division in 2021. We agree with Miko that they can be very satisfied with this result as they have avoided the high costs, uncertainty, and extended process of arbitration and litigation by reaching this agreement.

Ekopak First look: 1H25 disappoints, cautious outlook, no update on Wa...
1H25 revenues landed at €21.7m considerably below our €36m estimate. Adj. EBITDA stands at €-3.8m compared to our €+3.5m forecast. Segment reporting has changed and company no longer reports WaaS and non-WaaS but now differentiates the numbers between project and recurring business. FY25 guidance was issued and cautiously calls for growth in turnover vs. 2024. The 2025 outlook does not include any projections for Waterkracht on which the company will issue a separate update when relevant. Compan...

Tessenderlo Feedback 1H results conference call
Below are the highlights from the conference call. Tessenderlo's 1H results positively surprised, with adj EBITDA up 8% y/y to 163.4m, which was 19% better than our forecast and 12% above consensus. The company reiterated its broad FY25 guidance range, with consensus currently at the midpoint of the range whilst KBCS estimates are at the low end of the guidance range (and will be upped somewhat). The company is using its solid balance sheet and FCF to buy back own shares. We consider valuation t...

Miko Facing profit pressure amid rising coffee prices and bonus disput...
We updated our model after Miko, the Turnhout-based coffee producer, delivered two key warnings during its recent shareholders' meeting. First, the company is struggling to fully pass on the steep rise in coffee bean prices to its customers. Second, a €5m earn-out bonus from the 2021 sale of its packaging division Miko Pac is being disputed by the buyer, Paccor. As a result we lower our DCF-based TP from €67 to €60 but maintain our Accumulate rating.
