The market loses patience with Saint-Gobain

March 01, 2024 at 03:37 pm

MarketScreener.com By Kevin Smith


The financial results of the world leader in building materials, published yesterday, are always eagerly awaited by investors, who use it to take the pulse of the economy.

Three years ago, almost to the day, MarketScreener included the Saint-Gobain share in its European portfolio - it had long since left it - on the grounds that the group seemed well placed to absorb a hyper-inflationary context, thanks in particular to a restructuring and upmarket program in construction chemicals that was already bearing fruit.

On a more critical note, however, we emphasized the Group's lack of growth during the previous cycle. The company was emerging from a veritable decade of sluggishness, which had earned it the wrath of the dreaded Elliott activist fund, among other grievances.

Three years on, the results for the fiscal year just ended reveal three things: one, Saint-Gobain has indeed managed to pass on inflation, but without benefiting from it either; two, excluding acquisitions, organic growth continues to lag; three, optimization of the business portfolio continues and is producing fairly good results.

As proof of these elements, a price increase of 4.6%, which in 2023 will not fully offset a 5.5% drop in volumes; consolidated sales down by 6.4%, with a marked decline in Northern Europe but also a good performance in the US markets; and margins and operating profit that are holding up well in this challenging environment.

Not much has changed, then, and the market seems to be getting impatient, since the trend towards compression of Saint-Gobain's valuation multiple is not really reversing - despite a slight upturn of late.

It should be pointed out, however, that the process of moving upmarket is bound to take years, and that at the same time the Group is confirming its trajectory of improving profitability, while financial leverage continues to decline.

The work of the management team that has been at the helm for the past few years is therefore to be commended, without overlooking the difficult underlying business conditions - which the Swiss Sika Group has so far managed to avoid thanks to a remarkably well-managed acquisitions policy.

2024 outlook and strategic priorities



In a geopolitical and macroeconomic environment that remains challenging, Saint-Gobain will continue to demonstrate its resilience and its excellent operating performance, thanks to its focused strategy and its proactive commercial and industrial initiatives.



Saint-Gobain expects some of its markets to remain difficult in 2024, especially in the first half of the year owing to a high comparison basis, with a contrasting situation between Europe and the rest of the world:

· Europe: resilience in renovation; new construction remaining difficult before gradually reaching its low point country by country;

· Americas: construction to hold firm in North America (new build and renovation); recovery expected during the year in Latin America;

· Asia-Pacific: good growth in most countries;

· High Performance Solutions: Construction Chemicals to see dynamic growth; Mobility to hold firm and a contrasting situation on industrial markets in terms of demand.





Against this backdrop, in 2024 the Group will continue to implement the strategic priorities set out in its "Grow & Impact" plan for 2021-2025:



1) Continue our initiatives focused on profitability and free cash flow generation

· Constant focus on the price-cost spread;

· Productivity initiatives and swift adjustments from country to country where necessary;

· Capital expenditure slightly above 4% of sales, with strict allocation to high-growth markets.



2) Outperform our markets by strengthening our profitable growth profile

· Enrich our comprehensive range of integrated, differentiated and innovative solutions offering sustainability and performance for our customers;

· Continue our value-creating targeted acquisitions and divestments dynamic, and benefit from the successful integration of recent acquisitions.



3) Continued focus on our ESG roadmap as leader in sustainable construction

· Promote our positive-impact and low-carbon solutions among our customers;

· Extend the decarbonization of construction to the entire value chain, playing our full role as leader in light and sustainable construction.







Despite a context which remains difficult in certain markets,
in 2024 Saint-Gobain expects a double-digit operating margin
for the fourth consecutive year

















Financial calendar

An information meeting for analysts and investors will be held at 8:30am (GMT +1) on March 1, 2024 and will be streamed live on Saint-Gobain's website: www.saint-gobain.com

Saint-Gobain would be interested in the takeover of the American company GCP Applied Technologies according to Bloomberg.

Oddo indicates that if the American group RPM International would also be on the ranks, Holcim could also look at this asset.

"The credibility of such a transaction will lie in Saint-Gobain's ability to convince the market of its ability to turn around GCP Applied Technologies' profitability," the analyst said.

"On the basis of a premium of 40% on the 29/11 price, the price to be paid would be $ 2.3 billion without ensuring the success of the operation given potential contenders".

"According to our calculations, the ROCE of the three-year operation (2024) would be 7.7% for an EV/EBITDA of 8.5x (cost of debt at 2.2% and synergies at $70 million or 6% of turnover)," adds Oddo.

The analysis office confirms its outperformance recommendation on the stock with a price target of 80 E.

Saint-Gobain to drop its shareholding in Swiss chemical maker Sika
This content was published on May 27, 2020 9:01 AM May 27, 2020 - 09:01
Sika

Sika has more than 300 plants worldwide
(Keystone)

The French building materials and distribution group Saint-Gobain has announced the sale of its 10.75% stake in the capital of the Swiss chemical manufacturer Sika.

Saint-Gobain said in a press releaseexternal link on Tuesday that it would dispose of “of its entire stake in Sikaexternal link of approximately 15.2 million shares, representing 10.75% of Sika’s share capital”, without mentioning any financial amount.

According to an AFP calculation, at the current Sika share price the transaction would be valued at some €2.5 billion (CHF2.65 billion). The result and the final terms of the private placement will be announced on Wednesday “at the latest”, according to Saint-Gobain’s press release.

Sika, a specialist in sealants and adhesives with origins dating back to 1910, employs some 25,000 people and has more than 300 plants worldwide. The group, headquartered in Baar, canton Zug, achieved record sales of CHF8.1 billion ($8.38 billion) in the financial year 2019.

Long conflict

In May 2018 Sika and Saint-Gobain reached an agreement to end an almost four-year legal disputeexternal link.

The complex deal saw Saint-Gobain acquiring all outstanding shares of Schenker-Winkler Holding (SWH) from the Burkard family, heirs to the founder of Sika, for a purchase price of CHF3.22 billion.

The dispute over Sika had been raging since 2014 when Saint-Gobain offered CHF2.75 billion to buy the Burkhard’s controlling stake – comprising just 16% of the share capital but 53% of voting rights. Sika’s board objected, and the warring sides were locked in a stalemate in what became an expensive battle in the courts and a rare example of Swiss corporate enmity spilling into the public eye.

PRESS RELEASE

SAINT-GOBAIN GROUP COMPLETES SALE OF SIKA SHARES FOR CHF2.56 BILLION

-- Saint-Gobain today announces the successful completion of the sale by its subsidiary Schenker-Winkler Holding AG of approximately 15.2 million Sika shares, representing its full stake of 10.75% of Sika's share capital, for a total of CHF2.56 billion. The shares were placed via a private placement to qualified institutional investors by way of an accelerated book-building process.

-- As a result of this disposal, Saint-Gobain has generated gross gains of EUR1.54 billion since May 2018.

The disposal of the stake in Sika enables Saint-Gobain to strengthen its balance sheet. Saint-Gobain acquired its 10.75% stake in Sika as part of a global agreement with Sika and the Burkard family in May 2018. The Sika shares were held as an equity investment and Saint-Gobain has chosen to recognize any change in the fair value of the Sika shares directly in equity.

Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Saint-Gobain, commented:

"The Sika shareholding has been an outstanding investment for Saint-Gobain over the past two years. We have completed the sale at a price of CHF2.56 billion, equivalent to around EUR2.41 billion, compared to a purchase price of EUR933 million in May 2018. Realizing such an outstanding return on this investment is a very positive development for the Group. The proceeds from the disposal will strengthen Saint-Gobain's balance sheet, increase its financial flexibility and liquidity position in a market environment that remains uncertain. As mentioned at the end of April, depending on how the situation evolves Saint-Gobain will review the Group's shareholder return policy by the end of the year. "

Citigroup acted as Sole Global Coordinator on the Private Placement.

Citigroup and Lazard acted as financial advisers to Saint-Gobain .
