Accoya wood progress in FY20 to date continues to validate the business model and expansion undertaken last year. The new Tricoya project is also progressing albeit with commissioning slipping by some months into H2 calendar 2020. Our existing model accommodates these effects and we have made no changes save for adding FY22 estimates for the first time. For now, on our unchanged estimates, we continue to contend that the current valuation is underpinned by Accoya.
Companies: Accsys Technologies PLC
FY19 performance at the Arnhem Accoya facility has been robust with successful delivery of higher volumes from raised capacity. Construction delays at the new Hull Tricoya facility outside Accsys’s control are a near-term frustration and dampen EBITDA progression over our forecast horizon. That said, achieving a positive group EBITDA outturn in FY19 is a significant milestone. The current valuation is underpinned by Arnhem.
Accsys continues to make positive progress and is now generating revenue from its latest investment at Arnhem. We expect the new, under-construction Tricoya facility to follow suit within the next year, at which point annual group revenue potential will be around €150m according to management. In the near term, we expect to see an EBITDA positive outturn in FY19.
AGM comments point to operational progress at Arnhem and an on-track construction schedule for the new Tricoya facility at Hull. Accsys has set out a clear development plan for the group; while we are not placing undue weight on a short trading period, we are encouraged to see that growing revenues and production volumes have been achieved in the year to date.
Building on Accsys's established international presence the current significant investment phase (€80m+ capex) should be the catalyst for accelerated business growth. We expect Accsys to move into a group EBITDA positive position from FY19 with the significant profit potential to be progressively delivered thereafter. Our DCF analysis suggests that the share price is solidly underpinned at current levels with upside from enhanced commercial development of proprietary technology.
Successful expansion of its established Accoya facility at Arnhem should pave the way for Accsys to become EBITDA positive at the group level during FY19. A dedicated Tricoya facility (construction underway, first production expected from mid-2019) provides another clear platform for further profit growth. As this becomes more apparent, we believe it will be a catalyst for positive share price performance.
Accsys has reported H1 FY2018 interim results, delivering 13% revenue growth to a capacity-constrained €28.3m. Gross margin has been impacted by several, individually small, temporary pressures while the new Accoya reactor delivering a 50% capacity increase is a little late in delivery. These factors chip away at our forecasts a little but the longer-term picture and investment case remain unchanged. Retain Buy and 100p price target.

Highlights this quarter: Economics: Generally, the data points to modest growth continuing, with a more positive trend in PMI surveys suggesting decent m manufacturing momentum over the next six months. Currency weakness continues to be a double-edged sword for U K manufacturers, with exporters gaining competitiveness while input prices have risen. There has recently been a divergence of sterling’s performance against the euro and the USD. Those in commodity or competitive product areas may well have seen margin erosion, while many in intermediary goods have already passed on price increases to their customers. With low unemployment, the prospect of tighter labour markets post-Brexit and public sector pay caps starting to come off also signals the potential for some labour inflation, long absent from the UK industrial scene. Topic of the quarter: We believe that powerful macro and sectoral pressures will drive further significant changes to the manufacturing supply chain over the next few years. We investigate some of these pressures, with the move to outsource suppliers to low- cost centres, like China, now seeing a slight reverse flow with some restoring to shorten complex and often inflexible supply chains. We see systems technology facilitating greater supply-chain control and efficiency. Brexit will present challenges to the UK supply chain with price and time to market barriers likely to rise, presenting challenges to the UK’s highly integrated and time-sensitive supply chain. Slick distribution infrastructure and greater information sharing with suppliers are likely to prove winning strategies in optimising logistics and gaining stock efficiencies. Sector valuation: The industrials sector has continued to exhibit strength, with small-cap industrials outperforming by 2 % on last year and larger cap industrials by 17%. Currency and improving economic data have been a positive for the sector. While some other sectors have seen a pick-up in profit warnings over recent months, industrial technology companies have announced generally positive or in-line trading updates that have helped to drive the small-cap Industrials to an EV EBITDA of 8.4x and a P/E of 16.7x with the traditional small-cap discount narrowing.

We recently hosted our annual Industrial Technology dinner with 14 companies, many of which are active in the materials science arena; having focused previously on composite materials in the aerospace sector, in this edition of Machinations we focus on graphene, with its unique and potentially game-changing qualities and potential applications. Investments in this area remain fairly early stage, but could potentially reap huge rewards. Graphene is well represented in the UK small-cap market by several players.

In a very significant development for Accsys, the company has announced it has reached financial closure to build a Tricoya plant in Hull. This represents an aggregate investment of €68.2m into a facility that should start to generate revenue during FY2020E. The funding is relatively complex: Accsys has raised €14m (gross) new equity for working capital purposes plus €18.9m of loans at the PLC level to enable an overall 74.6% participation in Tricoya Technologies (TTL). Separately, Medite, BP (Ventures & Chemicals), BGF and Hendersons are injecting an aggregate of €34.5m new equity into TTL and Tricoya Ventures (TVUK), while RBS is making available a €15m loan to TVUK. Overall, we are maintaining our 100p price target.

We update our valuation following our initiation note in September. Since then there has been multiple positive developments in terms of new strategic collaborations with world leading organisations as well as investment to ensure capacity can be built up to satisfy demand. Our revised target valuation of 191p reflects elements of the ABB relationship in a number of major markets, albeit the longer-term opportunity could be much bigger than this. Indeed, we have not included all AFC’s growth opportunities in this valuation. Recent profit taking gives an opportunity to re-visit the long-term investment thesis. The next scheduled news flow is FY results in early March.

Directa Plus has announced that its existing relationship with NexTech Batteries Inc has progressed to a formal supply and strategic R&D agreement. We consider this a very positive development, given the potential for Lithium-Sulphur (Li-S) to disrupt the dominance of Lithium-Ion batteries. Directa will supply NexTech with 300kg of G+® graphene platelets this year, with potentially far higher quantities for delivery in subsequent years linked to NexTech’s anticipated growth.
Volex has reported interim results that are in-line with expectations following a strong trading update in mid-October. Of far greater significance is today’s announcement of the proposed acquisition of DEKA for a consideration of up to €61.8m on a debt free basis. DEKA is a leading and highly profitable power cord manufacturer, strategically located in Turkey, that serves leading European white goods manufacturers. The acquisition should close in early CY2021, subject to expected Turkish Competition Authority approval. We foresee 15% earnings enhancement in FY2022E with further opportunities for revenue synergies with Volex in the Far East as its operations also vertically integrate, production efficiencies increase and the cost of production falls. The statement highlights that pro forma net debt/EBITDA remains under 0.4x and this provides scope for further bolt-on acquisitions alongside a new $70m RCF and $30m accordion, also announced with the interims.

NBB is an established and well-recognised 40-year brand in the field of senior executive-level talent acquisition, which has been substantially upgraded since appointing Mike Brennan as Group CEO in 2016, and has become a totally transformed company. Notably NBB has lifted its game dramatically, growing into a broad human capital solutions business delivered via professional embedded processes, where before what we had was the familiar well-respected but single-strand executive search operation. As a result, growing and more relevant new service lines now form the largest part of the company, and aligned with this, NBB's financial prospects have improved significantly. While Covid has been challenging, the company has managed the crisis well by considered and strategic headcount additions, while at the same time taking out over £500,000 in costs. Positive H1 and FY EBITDA reports stand out as important milestones. Net debt cut from c.£1m to near-zero in H1 reflected a return to cash-generation. We are now able to include forecasts for FY-2020E and in addition '21 and '22 scenarios, illustrating the potential upside.
