Scanfil - Q1 figures topped estimates
Scanfil’s Q1 top line continued to grow at a 20% annual rate while operating margin remained decent at 5.3%. Relative profitability was therefore close to estimates while the high revenue figure helped deliver a small earnings beat.
- Scanfil Q1 revenue grew by 20.4% y/y and was EUR 196.6m vs the EUR 170.0m/179.4m Evli/consensus estimates. Transient spot market component purchases amounted to about EUR 17m and excluding them revenue would have been EUR 179m.
- Advanced Consumer Applications landed at EUR 55.0m, compared to our EUR 45.9m estimate, while Energy & Cleantech amounted to EUR 54.6m vs our EUR 45.5m estimate. Automation & Safety was EUR 42.6m vs our EUR 36.9m estimate.
- Adjusted EBIT was EUR 10.3m, compared to the EUR 9.2m/9.7m Evli/consensus estimates. Component availability issues limited Q1 profitability. Profitability should improve throughout the year while spot market component purchases are to remain high at least in Q2 and Q3.
- Scanfil guides FY ’22 revenue to be EUR 750-820m and adjusted EBIT EUR 43-48m. The war hasn’t had any significant financial impact on Scanfil, likewise with the Chinese virus situation so far.
