Nanoco Group - European partnership not moving forward

Nanoco Group’s announcement that the collaboration with its European partner is essentially coming to an end is clearly disappointing news. We reduce our FY25 revenues by £2.5m and FY25 net cash by £2.1m to reflect this, although the contractual unwinding and potential restructuring may prompt further changes. While Nanoco is now clearly in a significant transitional state, the partnership with the Asian partner continues. The group’s intellectual property, expertise, manufacturing and test capa...

Tech Manufacturers - 1H24 Review: Crucial To Be Selective; Top BUYs: F...

Two-thirds of the tech manufacturing stocks under our coverage reported weaker-thanexpected 1H24 earnings, except for Frencken and Aztech, due to weak customer demand (AEM, Nanofilm, Venture) and slow ramp-up of new plant (UMS). Our top picks are Frencken and Venture given their positive outlook for sequential earnings growth, especially for Frencken which is seeing strong orders from ASML. We also have BUY calls on Valuetronics and Aztech, and SELL ratings on AEM, Nanofilm and UMS. Upgrade the ...

Nanofilm Technologies International (NANO SP) - 1H24: Earnings Miss On...

Nanofilm’s 1H24 earnings of S$4m loss (-51% yoy) missed our estimate of S$7m due to higher-than-expected admin expenses. Revenue of S$83m (+13% yoy) in 1H24 was in line, at 42% of our full-year estimate, led by the AMBU segment which grew 20% yoy. Nano expects 2024 revenue and earnings to be higher than 2023, but because 2023 is a low base, 2024 earnings are still likely going to be unexciting. We cut our 2024-26 earnings forecasts by 32-55%. Maintain SELL. Target price: S$0.50.

Nanoco Group - Visibility pushed back

Nanoco Group’s trading update flagged that, while its development work on second-generation materials continues to progress as expected, it does not expect to receive a follow-on order for commercial materials in FY24. These orders were expected to be low volume, hence the delay is not particularly material from a financial perspective, although it does remove an expected milestone to gauge Nanoco’s pathway to volume production. We have adjusted our estimates to reflect a more cautious scenario ...

Nanoco Group - Sensing the opportunity

With the successful Samsung litigation now in the rear-view mirror, Nanoco’s focus will be fully on building the business as a developer, manufacturer and licensor of nanomaterials. With its extensive expertise in quantum dots, validated IP and high-volume manufacturing facilities backed up by a strong balance sheet, we believe that the business has a robust platform for growth.

Nanofilm Technologies International : 1Q24: Revenue In Line But Still ...

Nanofilm’s 1Q24 revenue of S$39m (+19% yoy) is in line with expectations at 20% of our full-year estimate, but earnings are still in the red. AMBU saw a 41% yoy growth due to a 51% growth in the 3C sector and a 24% growth in the automobile sector. Gross margin rose 3ppt yoy due to increased contribution from the 3C and industrial segments. Maintain SELL with a 6% lower target price of S$0.56 after cutting our 2024 EPS. Nanofilm is trading at 18x 2024F PE vs 14x for Singapore peers.

Nanoco Group - Steps on the pathway to volume production

Nanoco’s trading update confirms that H124 revenues and EBITDA are anticipated to be in line with company expectations. The main new information is that the company has commenced the build and fitout of a new 300m wafer device facility to accelerate product development and test cycles with both existing and new clients. This gives Nanoco scope to grow development revenues in the near term and reduce time to market of new production materials, while aligning the development platform with infrastr...

Nanoco Group - First commercial order fulfilled – major milestone

Nanoco’s announcement that it has fulfilled its first commercial order heralds the company’s transition from a development-stage company to a commercial supplier of quantum materials. The order provides support for our FY24 forecasts and is a key milestone on the company’s pathway towards becoming self-financing in FY25, with the potential to scale up significantly beyond that, if design wins in high-volume sensing applications can be secured.

Nanoco Group - Asian customer moves to the next phase

This marks the company’s latest milestone on its path to becoming a commercial provider of nanomaterials to the sensing market and provides support for our FY24 forecasts.

Nanoco Group - Pathway to commercial production

FY23 was a turbulent but ultimately pivotal year for Nanoco. The US$150m Samsung settlement (US$90m net costs) will fund the planned £33–40m return to shareholders with the retained c £20m providing good support to make the transition from development to commercial production. The company’s first commercial order is expected this calendar year. While volumes are expected to be relatively modest, this is a key milestone, and successful delivery should ease the pathway to follow-on orders and new ...

Nanoco Group - Returning cash and investing in the business

Nanoco has announced its intention to return £33–40m of the funds won through the settlement with Samsung to shareholders, retaining £20m to execute its growth and intellectual property (IP) licensing strategy. Management expects to start this programme after it has received the second $75m tranche in February 2024 from the Samsung litigation. Operationally, multiple end-customer trials via Nanoco’s major partner are ongoing and it is seeing renewed interest from the display market. The group al...

Nanoco’s H123 revenues benefited from the successful delivery of technical milestones for its European electronics customer, taking it close to full production validation of two different wavelength materials for use in sensing chips. Shortly after the period end, Nanoco signed the final agreements to settle the litigation with Samsung. The settlement frees management to concentrate on getting the company ready for volume production in anticipation of receiving its first production order later i...

Nanoco Group - Litigation settlement concluded

Nanoco Group has signed the final agreements to settle the litigation with Samsung on a no-fault basis for the alleged infringement of the group's intellectual property (IP), with Samsung paying Nanoco $150m (£125m) in cash. Nanoco’s H123 performance relating to the organic activities was slightly ahead of management’s expectations. We have revised our estimates to reflect both the settlement, which includes £3.0m in licence revenues recognisable in H223 and takes the group from negative to posi...
