On September 6th the market court of Brussels ruled on a case between CMB (reference shareholder of CMB.Tech, formerly Euronav) and FourWorld. The court found that the pricing of certain vessels sold by Euronav to Frontline last November implied certain special benefits to Frontline. The Court calculated these benefits to be $0.52 per Euronav share. In connection with CMB's mandatory takeover bid for Euronav (presently CMB.Tech) earlier this year, the FSMA now made public its decision to require...
We reiterate our BUY and increase our target price from €15 to €16 following Recticel's 1H24 results, to reflect a lower WACC and broadly stable estimates. We remain convinced by the medium-to-long term potential of the Insulation market - this should provide Recticel with ample room to grow organically and, thanks to its net cash position, through M&A. We view future acquisitions as a key catalyst for the share price over the short term, as these would confirm the ambition of the group to mater...

In a press release Euronav (soon to be renamed CMB.TECH) informed that the Market Court in Belgium has largely rejected the claims brought forward by FourWorld in connection with CMB's mandatory public bid for the Euronav shares that ended March 15, 2024. However, the Court did find that the pricing of certain vessels sold by Euronav to Frontline implied certain special benefits to Frontline. The Court calculated these benefits to be $0.52 p.s.. The judgment indicates that the FSMA retains discr...

Crude tankers remain the main earnings driver for now, but Euronav is steadily steering towards diversified shipping, with particular focus on sustainable solutions. A by-product of this is increasingly diversified cash flows supporting through-the-cycle investments – but also significant capex needs potentially straining the balance sheet and curtailing shareholder distributions medium-term. We reiterate our HOLD and have lowered our target price to USD16.3 (17.9).
We have finetuned our earnings model post the 1H24 results release, with adjusted EBITDA forecasts for FY24-26 lowered by between 2% and 5%, reflecting the competitive landscape (mainly in the Boards business). Despite the reduced forecasts, we still expect Recticel to grow adjusted EBITDA by c. 31% in FY24 and by 19% in FY25, benefiting from savings initiatives and the Rex integration & growth. Building markets are bottoming out, but we do not expect meaningful improvement in momentum until 202...
Below are the highlights from the 1H results conference call. On the back of double digit underlying volume growth, 1H Adj EBITDA jumped by 38% to € 25.1m, which was roughly in line with our forecast and c 3m above consensus. Although Recticel expects to have seen the market bottom in Western Europe whilst noting an improvement in the UK, FY guidance of around € 50m adjusted EBITDA is slightly below our and consensus forecasts of respectively € 52m and € 54m. Although we do believe in the longer...

Following this morning's publication of the 2Q release herewith key elements from Q&A with management during this afternoons analyst call. This morning we already published a FRN on the earnings release itself. All in all CMBT posted nice results showing diversifications pays off. The newly formed company is successfully disposing older vessels at high prices, reinvesting crude tanker cash flows and concluding LT contracts to finance its massive fleet transformation.
Over 2Q24 CMB.Tech reported adjusted EBITDA (excl. capital gains) of $164m above our $129m estimate. The company is swiftly executing its new build programme and recycling cash through disposals of older vessels. Favourable dynamics in the Euronav tanker fleet finance the transformation towards a sustainable shipping platform. Following the recent $6.72 p.s. distribution bonanza no further distribution over 2Q was declared as we expected given CMBT' s discretionary dividend policy. Company manag...
