Repricing on the horizon, catalysts in motion
Following the strategic update and the latest results, we update our forecasts on Waberer’s. Logistics may begin to normalize and continue to deliver sustainable profitability, while the Insurance segment will drive growth in the coming quarters. Waberer’s remained unreasonably cheap despite being able to complete recent acquisitions with compelling valuation. These companies will likely enhance profitability, contributing more than EUR 10mn+ at EBIT level in 2025. Based on these key drivers, ...

Waberer’s - Record Quarterly EBIT On Structural Improvements
Waberer's posted a record quarterly EBIT of EUR 10.6mn (+33% YoY) at Group level for Q2/22, fuelled by improving ITS and Other segments. However, net income totalled EUR 2.5mn in Q2/22 vs. 6.1mn a year earlier, dragged down by non-cash FX revaluation of balance sheet items and also a non-cash deferred tax (both totalled EUR 4.1mn). Importantly, the management stated that “neither the war in Ukraine, nor the increasing inflation generated significant industrial production or retail trade decrea...

We remain Buy-rated on Waberer’s, however, we lift our TP to 3,990 HUF/sh from 3,400 HUF/sh, leaving an 84% upside potential to the previous closing. The Management has started to execute strategy, thus we see signs of gradual operational improvement.

Long-term story: Waberer’s is well on track to gain efficiency and to reac...

Waberer's - Tiny EBIT gain cements our bullish view
Waberer's posted a net income of EUR 1.7mn at Group level for Q1/22 vs. EUR 2.7mn a year ago due to a non-realized FX loss. However, EBIT came in at EUR 4.6mn in Q1 compared to EUR 4.5mn in the same period of last year, which translated into a tiny 1% gain. As was expected, all 3 segments reached same level of EBIT due to the seasonal effects, but EBIT margin shrunk by 30bps YoY to 2.9% on cost inflation. The management remained confident that they could perform well over the next quarters as ...

Waberer's - Huge surprise, earnings at around pre-IPO levels
Waberer's reported a net income for Q4 of 5.9mn, resulting in a net income of EUR 18.1mnin 2021. Overall, earnings surprised to the upside as we expected a net income of EUR15mn for 2021. This report just cement our view that the Company has a compellingrisk/reward profile as shares in Waberer’s trade at a 41% discount to our TP of HUF 3,400as of writing. Considering the stable operations and a successful restructuring,undervaluation of the stock is fully unreasonable.

Waberers - Bold growth plans from the management
Waberer’s hosted a Capital Market Day on the 2nd of December where the managementcame up with an ambitious growth plan for the period between 2022 and 2025. Based onthe guidance, the management foresees revenues of EUR 807mn and EBIT of EUR 49mnby 2025, however they didn’t give an accurate projection for 2022, 2023 and 2024. Theyalso suggested that Group EBIT will likely come in at around EUR 20mn this year, which isbelow our estimate. We leave our recommendation on BUY with a TP of 3,400 HUF/sh...

Waberers - Another profitable quarter despite increasing risks
Waberer’s reported an EBIT of EUR 6.6mn on revenues of EUR 148mn for Q3/21 onFriday, AMC. Results for the first 9 months of 2021 came somewhat above ourprojection, leaving more room for margin deterioration for Q4/21 when the holidayseason dampens demand from mid-December as facilities halt production for weeks.Net income totalled EUR 3.3mn, which was negatively affected by (1) higher deferredtax credit incurred in Q3/20 and (2) non-realized FX loss of EUR 1mn.

We upgrade Waberer’s to Buy from Neutral and materially raise our TP to 3,400 HUF/shfrom 2,170 HUF/sh, leaving a 74% upside from the previous closing share price. Thisreflects (1) the unexpectedly strong recovery in the ITS, which achieved positive EBIT inQ2/21 after 13 consecutive quarter, (2) as well as broadly stable quarterly operating profitsat RCL and Other segments. Our new estimates are significantly ahead of previous figures.
