Cenkos: Brickability Group Plc -- Reassuring in uncertain times

Yesterday's trading statement provides some reassurance in the resilience of Brickability's operating model. Underlying revenue growth of 10% and a strong increase in EBITDA underlines this. The outlook remains cognisant of the uncertain macro backdrop and the potential impact on the house building sector, but the diversity of its product mix should help to offset some of these headwinds. We make no change to forecasts and on a sub 6x FY23E EBITDA with a c4% yield we reiterate our BUY.

Cenkos: Brickability Group Plc -- Afterburners to ON

When management guided FY22E EBITDA up to £32m in its trading update in January – see our report incorporating the 13% implied upgrade for detail (DOWNLOAD) – we would not have had in mind that the eventual ‘flash' outcome would be another 19% higher. The first upgrade reflected an easing of earlier precaution over weather, lumber pricing and a combination of general market threats around pricing, supply chain and Covid disruption. Today's further upgrade to a minimum £38m EBITDA reflects the d

Cenkos: Brickability Group Plc -- Double-digit FY22E upgrade

Trading through Q3 and into Q4 to date has proven to be strong and not blunted by any of the headwinds that management held caution against at the time of reporting its Interims (on 1 December). Taylor Maxwell, and within that its timber merchanting division, has outperformed expectations and consequently management is now guiding to FY22E EBITDA of at least £32m, 13% ahead of our previous estimate and a baseline for FY23E from which it can still feel confident of growing profits by 20% plus.
