- Establishes Full Year 2021 Guidance -
Stevanato Group S.p.A. (NYSE: STVN), a leading global provider of drug containment, drug delivery, and diagnostic solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2021 and established full-year 2021 guidance.
Second Quarter 2021 Highlights (compared to the same period last year) and Guidance
Franco Moro, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Strong second quarter operational results reflect the demand for our integrated, end-to-end portfolio of products, processes and services that address customer needs across the entire drug life cycle at each of the development, clinical and commercial stages. We achieved double-digit revenue growth in both segments and across all geographies. Our financial results reflect solid demand in our core products and, to a lesser extent, the ongoing need for our drug containment solutions that play a vital role in the global rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines. We estimate that approximately 15% of second quarter 2021 revenue was attributable to Covid-19. Our strategic shift in prioritizing our high value solutions helped boost gross margins by 100 basis points over the prior-year period. For the second quarter of 2021, high value solutions accounted for approximately 24% of revenue, compared to 23% for the prior year.”
“The past few months have marked an exciting and important time for Stevanato Group,” said Franco Stevanato, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. “We are pleased to have successfully completed our initial public offering and, as a listed company, we look forward to continuing to drive long-term value for all of our stakeholders, including customers, patients, employees, partners and our shareholders.”
Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Segment (BDS)
The Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Segment delivers a broad range of proprietary products, processes, and services for the containment and delivery of pharmaceutical and biotechnology drugs, reagents, and diagnostic consumables.
The segment benefitted from rising demand in the second quarter. As a result, second quarter revenue grew 23% to €174.8 million compared to the same period last year. Revenue growth was attributable to a 27% increase in the sale of high value solutions, the Company’s proprietary products including EZ-Fill® vials and cartridges, as well as a 21% increase in traditional containment and delivery partly due to the ongoing demand from the continuing impact of Covid-19 on our industry. In the second quarter, high value solutions accounted for 28% of BDS Segment revenue, compared to 27% the prior year.
Gross margin and operating margin expansion in the second quarter was due, in part, to an increase in more accretive high value solutions and business optimization efforts compared to the same period last year.
Engineering Segment
The Engineering Segment develops equipment and technology for assembly, visual inspection, packaging, serialization, glass conversion, as well as comprehensive after-sales support to provide end-to-end solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic manufacturing processes.
For the second quarter, Engineering Segment (third parties) revenue grew by 50% to €29.1 million compared to the prior year. The segment benefitted from growth across all business lines including glass conversion machines, visual inspection systems, as well as assembly and packaging machines.
Margin expansion, compared to the prior-year period, was driven by an increase in after-sales activities to support customers and improved synergies across the Company’s manufacturing network.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled €100.8 million. For the second quarter, cash from operating activities increased to €54.1 million. Capital expenditures totaled €23.7 million in the second quarter, as the Company continued to invest in increasing capacity for its high value solutions to meet growing customer demand. As a result, free cash flow (defined as cash from operating activities excluding interests paid and received, less property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets on a cash basis) was €31.3 million.
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities together with availability under its existing debt facilities and net proceeds of approximately $453.5 million raised in its IPO, will be adequate to address liquidity needs based on its current expectations of business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments under its debt obligations.
On July 20, 2021, we completed our initial public offering, at completion of which we received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $439.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On August 18, the underwriters further purchased 712,796 additional newly issued shares from the Company to cover over-allotments driving the total net proceeds of the offering to approximately $453.5 million.
Full Year 2021 Guidance
Stevanato Group continues to expand its role in the pharmaceutical value chain. The Company has established full year 2021 guidance that demonstrates a sharp focus on executing against its long-term strategic plan.
The Company currently estimates that it has visibility of approximately 94% of full year forecasted revenue for fiscal 2021, comprised of first half 2021 revenue contributions plus currently estimated backlog for the second half.
The Company currently expects:
Mr. Moro concluded, “Our overall approach of increasing capacity in the fastest growing markets, embedding scientific and technological advancements in our portfolio and broadening our services and geographic reach is the cornerstone of driving value to our customers. We are a mission critical partner in the pharmaceutical value chain, and we are responding to an ever-growing demand from customers across the pharmaceutical, bio-tech and life sciences industries.”
