Dovre - Topped estimates
Dovre’s Q3 results were clearly above our estimates as all three segments recorded figures higher than we had expected. Dovre also issued a positive guidance update yesterday; our latest estimates would still be in line with the new guidance, but the very strong Q3 report suggests our Q4 estimates are too modest.
- Dovre Q3 revenue grew by 28.5% y/y to EUR 59.7m vs our EUR 54.1m estimate. Project Personnel top line was EUR 22.5m, compared to our EUR 21.8m estimate. Consulting amounted to EUR 4.4m vs our EUR 3.4m estimate, while Renewable Energy was EUR 32.9m vs our EUR 28.9m estimate.
- Dovre EBITDA was EUR 3.2m, compared to our EUR 2.4m estimate, while EBIT was EUR 3.0m vs our EUR 2.2m estimate. Project Personnel EBIT amounted to EUR 1.1m vs our EUR 0.9m estimate. Consulting managed EUR 0.7m, compared to our EUR 0.4m estimate, whereas Renewable Energy EBIT was EUR 1.4m vs our EUR 1.2m estimate. Other functions & unallocated cost EUR 0.3m vs our EUR 0.3m estimate.
- Dovre’s new guidance is for revenue above EUR 195m and EBIT of more than EUR 7.3m. The previous guidance was for revenue above EUR 185m and EBIT in the range of EUR 6.5-7.5m. Dovre raised guidance yesterday thanks to strong demand in Project Personnel and Consulting as well as solid execution of Renewable Energy construction projects. Our latest estimates remain still in line with the new guidance, but our Q4 estimates now look a bit modest given the strong Q3 performance.
