Despite Covid-19 halting growth and scale for Zalaris, the company is delivering on its cost cutting with another solid quarter, showcased by an underlying EBIT margin of 8% and 6.1% FCF yield (incl. leases) YTD. Management also seemed confident of further margin improvement and growth in 2021, with the latter being key for achieving more scale as the fixed cost base is still high. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and lift our target to NOK 63/sh.

SAP cut both its 2020 and mid-term targets yesterday …citing more muted demand, following re-introduced lockdowns ZAP expects this to last to at least 1H 2021 Outlook risk on Zalaris, but margin improvement our main focus in Q3
Zalaris will report Q3 figures 27 October and we expect another solid quarter with further margin improvement. We have lifted our Q3 estimates on lower cost assumptions and slightly upped growth for Q4/20 and Q1/21 following continued easing of Covid-19 restrictions. If Zalaris delivers on our Q3 EBIT margin, we argue it should lead to a repricing as it adds further support to the margin recovery with the third consecutive quarter of margin improvement.
Zalaris reported strong Q2 figures, which added confidence to our margin expansion view. Management also gave a positive outlook statement and Zalaris is on track to deliver on its 10% adj. EBIT margin target, already achieving a 5% FCF yield (incl. leases) in 2020 despite modelling negative FCF in H2 due to WC. We lift our target price to NOK 61 based on revised estimates and lower NIBD, but emphasize further upside as we currently model 8% FCF yield in 2022.

Positives emerged, particularly in H2, as the recovery commenced within the kettle controls market. Billi was the architect of the revenue improvement, with LAICA also delivering a double-digit increase in the top line. Margins improved, notwithstanding a change in the mix. Encouragingly, investor concerns on debt were allayed with the careful management of cash, and latterly as bankers raised the net debt/EBITDA covenant to 2.75x. With further emphasis on costs and cash conservation and a lik

Forterra’s FY23 (to 31 December) earnings were slightly higher than guidance, which was raised in January, with resilient pricing partly offsetting a steep fall in demand among its main end users, large housebuilders. Our estimates are broadly unchanged, other than reflecting a more conservative stance on the final dividend. Despite a cautious tone in the outlook statement, we believe the largest housebuilders may now rebound more strongly than smaller peers.
