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.

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.

Tessenderlo and Darling Ingredients announced the intention to combine their gelatin & collagen businesses in a joint venture, in which Tessenderlo would have a 15% stake. In light of the difficult market conditions, we welcome the combination which will lead to a gelatin & collagen powerhouse with a global market share of 35-40%. We still appreciate Tessenderlo for the sizeable free cash flow generation and maintain our Accumulate rating for now.
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 ...
Miko announced that the results of its continued recurring business in 2024 posted double-digit growth over last year. Miko's good recurring core business in FY24 was overshadowed by a non-recurring loss of € 15.5m; On the one hand, there was exceptional earn-out of € 5m on Miko Pac (sold in FY21) and on the other hand the sale of SAS (May'24) resulted in a significant loss of € 20.5m. So, 2024 was a very turbulent year. The decision to exit from SAS was very painful. Miko took this decision ...
