Scanfil - Decent results, better to come in Q4
Scanfil Q3 results landed largely in line with expectations as top line was up 26% y/y and EBIT margin amounted to a decent 5.4%. Scanfil expects further improvement for Q4.
- Q3 revenue grew by 26.3% y/y to EUR 211.9m, compared to the EUR 210.3m/208.6m Evli/consensus estimates. Transitory component invoicing amounted to some EUR 20m as the component availability challenges eased a bit. Customer demand remained strong in all customer segments.
- Advanced Consumer Applications amounted to EUR 67.8m vs our EUR 70.4m estimate, while Energy & Cleantech was EUR 53.1m vs our EUR 52.6m estimate. Automation & Safety amounted to EUR 44.2m, compared to our EUR 41.0m estimate.
- Adjusted EBIT landed at EUR 11.5m vs the EUR 12.3m/11.5m Evli/consensus estimates. Higher delivery volumes and lower FX losses had a positive effect. The pandemic did not have any significant effect and Scanfil expects further positive development for Q4.
- Scanfil guides revenue of EUR 800-880m and adjusted EBIT of EUR 43-48m for FY ’22 (unchanged). The guidance’s midpoints now suggest EUR 219m revenue and EUR 13.5m EBIT for Q4.
