Scanfil - Clear top line beat

Scanfil’s Q1 was a clear positive surprise in terms of revenue. Profitability was more in line with expectations. Scanfil did not revise its guidance but updated the segment structure.
  • Scanfil Q1 revenue was EUR 163m vs the EUR 152m/151m Evli/consensus estimates. Top line grew by 13% y/y.
  • Scanfil updated its segment structure. The new five segments are called Advanced Consumer Applications, Automation & Safety, Connectivity, Energy & Cleantech, and Medtech & Life Science. Q1 growth was strongest in Advanced Consumer Applications, the largest segment that also includes elevators business. Energy & Cleantech, the second largest (includes e.g. reverse vending machines), also developed well.
  • Scanfil Q1 EBIT amounted to EUR 10.0m, compared to the EUR 10.5m/10.0m Evli/consensus estimates. Operating margin was therefore 6.1% (6.0% a year ago).
  • Scanfil guides EUR 600-640m in revenue and EUR 40-44m in adjusted EBIT for FY ’21 (unchanged). Uncertainty continues with respect to the availability of certain materials, especially semiconductors. The pandemic may also have a negative impact on customer demand and supply chain delivery capability.
  • Scanfil says there was scarcity in certain materials, however this did not have any major impact.
