>Q3 results mixed to positive - The Q3 results were mixed to positive. Industrial did better than expected in terms of sales (growth in IB and flat in IAC) but the Residual automotive part was impacted by a negative development in Sound and Fuel controllers with good but not great growth in Automotive China. Positive was that the EBITDA margin came in materially higher than anticipated (12.1% vs 10.5%). In the analyst call CEO van Beurden indicated that some projects ...
>Sales a miss (Auto related), Industrial sales a beat, EBITDA margins a beat - Kendrion Q3 sales missed our estimates (no css) by 4%, which is solely driven by the Residual automotive business as IAC and Industral Brakes performed well. Due to cost savings and higher sales levels, the adj. EBITDA came in at €8.8m or a beat of 12% with the adj. EBITDA margin coming in at 12.1% versus our expectation of 10.5%. Due to that better than expected performance, the net profit...

>Result of core Industrial activities not as disappointing as initially assumed - The Q2 results of Kendrion were not as disappointing as we initially reported. The Industrial unit actually performed better than we had anticipated with IB outperforming on sales and the Industrial unit as a whole outperforming on adj. EBITDA although the adj. EBITDA margin was still down yoy. Yes, the Residual business did not show the improvement in adj. EBITDA we had anticipated des...
Kendrion's continued business, in our view, reported solid 2Q24 results. The share price though declined and the stock currently trades c.5% below the share price level before the announcement to dispose the Auto business. This has been fundamentally the most important positive news since the take-over of Intorq back in 2019 but the stock keeps sliding downwards. Kendrion will host a CMD on 5 September. This offers management the opportunity to turn the tide and we expect focus on: (1) Margin po...

>Weak Q2 in terms of margins and FCF - Kendrion’s Q2 results are disappointing relative to our estimates (no consensus). Sales were in line at €78m, up sequentially by 3% but down 7% yoy. Adjusted EBITDA came in at €8.2m or a miss of 16% versus our estimates with the adj. EBITDA margin coming in at 10.6% versus an expected 12.7%. Q1 2024 adj. EBITDA margin was 13.3%. We assume the miss on the adj. EBITDA is due to disappointing retained automotive revenues and a slowe...
We initiate coverage on Kendrion with an Outperform and a TP of €17 per share. The divestment of most of the Automotive business means that Kendrion can focus on the Industrial activities where EBITDA margins are higher and there is less dependency on specific customers. We assume only a modest recovery in Industrial activity in Brakes, while we are more positive on IAC and the China Automotive business (based on contracts won). The operational leverage on growth plus the cost-sa...
