AB Dynamics (ABDP) - Highway star

There is not much wrong with the investment case for ABD currently. Earnings are resilient, acquisitions look sensible, and the Group has a net cash position. Many investors will simply not like the valuation (PE c.30x forward), but ABD has always been expensive, priced as a rare provider of value-added testing equipment and services for vehicle active safety and autonomy. Some will worry about supply chain constraints, but we have not heard anything different or particularly concerning from ABD

AB Dynamics (ABDP LN) - Back to growth, delivery required

ABD needs to offer investors higher earnings growth and returns to justify its premium rating, in our view. Just reported H1 results were solid (Revenue up 39% to £37.8m, adjusted operating profit up 63% to £5.7m) and indicate a healthy recovery in trading. Full year earnings are guided to be slightly higher, and we lift our operating profit estimate by 3.6% to £11.7m. That said, this outturn would still be significantly below the peak of £13.5m reported in 2019a. ABD has a plan to restore highe

H1 rock solid – and strategic foundations laid

The announcement also includes five pillars of the revised strategy – New Product Development, Capability & Capacity, International Footprint, Service and

Strategy update due in April

AB Dynamics’ (ABD) trading update for the first six months of FY 2019E states that revenues and adjusted operating profits are expected to be ‘significantly ahead’ of the same period last year. Consequently, management expects the full year to be in line with market (and its own) expectations. Market demand for track testing products and ABD’s own operational improvements are cited as the main drivers of a continuation of the strong performance seen in FY 2018. The announcement also highlights a

Somero Enterprises - Year-end trading update – slightly lower than expectations

The update reflects some slight customer supply chain constraints, with the resultant FY revenue and EBITDA slightly down on previous guidance. Underlying market demand remains positive with expected backlogs. Strong growth was again recorded by Europe (+20%) and Australia (+40%). We reduce our revenue for FY22 by 3.5% with a 3.7% reduction in Adj EPS. Lower net cash of $34.0m is also reflected in dividends, which we reduce by 22% to 37.5ȼ.

ITM Power - A Major Reset

ITM’s new CEO has outlined a major reset for the company focused on transforming it into a volume manufacturer of market leading electrolyser technology. Getting there will involve a lot of work and cost and today’s revised guidance shows a near doubling of EBITDA loss against the original consensus for FY23. FY 24 should start to see the benefit of cost cutting and the company has also announced two new 100MW contracts announced today with Linde. Importantly, ITM has the cash reserves to suppor

FY23 expectations dashed; 12-month strategic plan unveiled; opportunity to accumulate?

As set out in its preliminary release ITM’s H1 results and FY23 outlook were below expectations. Revenues were lower, as sales related to the Leuna project were deferred to FY24. On the cost side, gross loss expanded due to inventory losses, and increased contract and warranty provisions. ITM also announced the signing of two 100MW projects to Linde Engineering, a strategic review of Motive Fuels, and a new 12-month strategic plan to reorient the company towards manufacturing and delivery.

ITM Power (ITM LN) - H1 FY 2023 results

ITM has released its H1 results to the end of October 2022, alongside providing an update on the company’s strategy under its new CEO. The statement is something of a curate’s egg, showing an expectation of poor FY 2023 financial performance (as previously flagged), but also a new strategy focused on manufacturing scale-up, and signature of two new 100MW contracts.
