Posted at 10/10/2024 10:47 by edmonda "Steering a steady course in H1'25"Norcros’ H1'25 pre-close statement infers that headline trading in Q2 was similar to Q1, leaving group revenue flat overall y-o-y for continuing businesses. On the same basis, while profitability looks to be slightly lower - which may reflect mix effects - company expectations for the full year are unchanged. While easing inflation and interest rates have been welcomed in Norcros’s primary markets, any significant pick-up in economic activity is still pending as new governments bed in in both cases. H125 LFL revenues nudged ahead in the UK (continuing operations +1%) and declined modestly in South Africa (-2% at constant currency) giving a flat y-o-y performance at group level, excluding the exited Johnson Tiles UK and Norcros Adhesive businesses. Our expectation is that management will report more fully on strategic actions taken to date with the H124 results. The completion of Vado’s warehouse consolidation moves and streamlining Grant Westfield’s distribution are two examples of positioning these businesses for growth with more efficient service platforms and greater alignment in these areas across operating companies. We make no changes to our estimates or fair value ahead of the H1 results due out in November. As before, we believe that translating strategy into enhanced earnings growth can be the catalyst for generating share price upside that could be well in excess of our current fair value of 253.5p / share.

Posted at 18/7/2024 08:33 by spangle93 Nice broker upgrade‘Buy’ Norcros, says Deutsche Bank Bathroom supplies group Norcros (NXR) is ‘poised’ for ‘material value creation’, according to Deutsche Bank. Analyst Christen Hjorth retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and increased his target price from 305p to 375p on the stock, which inched up 0.4% to 237p on Wednesday and is up 30% year-to-date. ‘Norcros has gone through a transformation over the past decade,’ said Hjorth. ‘The group is now focused on mid-premium positioned, branded, design-led, and capital-light bathroom products, and is the UK leader in electric showers, shower enclosures, and bathroom wall panels.’ He estimated that these product categories represent 75% of the group’s earnings and generate an earnings margin of between 18% and 23%. ‘In contrast, legacy issues have greatly reduced, including exposure to DIY retail – now only 10%, UK tiles – which was recently divested, and the pension scheme, which is now in an accounting surplus,’ he said. |

Posted at 18/6/2024 23:50 by pj84 The key takeaway for me as well as the low PE and near 5% dividend yield at the current share price is that as well as paying the dividend they are forecast to generate an additional £27m of cash over the next 3 years reducing the debt from £37m to £10m. |

Posted at 14/6/2024 09:13 by davebowler Zeus-FY24 results ahead, UK performing strongly Norcros has reported a strong set of results for FY24 showing Group operating margin ahead of Zeus forecast at 11.0% (Zeus: 10.5%) despite revenue down 6.0% to £392.1m on a L4L constant current basis, broadly in line with Zeus’ forecast of £395.5m. The 30bps yoy margin expansion was driven by a record operating performance in its UK division which saw margins grow 100bps to 13.6% (15.0% excl. Johnson Tiles), highlighting the resilience of the mid-premium segment of the market despite weakness in RMI activity. Market dynamics in South Africa remained challenging and EBIT margins fell to 4.4% (FY23: 7.0%) but operating cash conversion was ahead of the prior year. Net debt (excl. leases) of £37.3m was ahead of Zeus forecast of 40.4m and a total FY24 dividend of 10.2p was flat yoy. Zeus update forecasts and introduce FY27e showing revenue unchanged for FY25 and FY26 but an upgrade to Group operating margin by 50bps in both years to 11.8% and 12.1%, respectively. Net debt for FY25 improves by £7.5m to £24.5m, representing 0.5x EBITDA, which should provide the Group with further optionality to focus on strategic M&A within its highly fragmented markets. On our updated forecasts, Norcros trades on 6.7x FY25 earnings and 5.3x EV/EBIT, representing a discount of c. 50% to its peer group despite having above average margins and a ROCE consistently above 15.0%. Zeus reiterate its fair value estimate of 479p, derived from our SoTP estimate. FY24 results: Norcros reported FY24 results ahead of Zeus forecasts at the operating level with Group EBIT of £43.2m (Zeus: £41.4m), indicating a margin expansion of 30bps despite revenue being down 6.0% to £392.1m (cc, L4L). On a reported basis, Group revenue was down 11.1%. A record operating performance in the UK division saw EBIT margin expand 100bps to 13.6% (15.0% excl. JT), supported by strong price increases and a resilient mid-premium market segment. South Africa faced difficulties as load shedding continued, contributing to a 12.3% fall in revenue (cc) and an EBIT margin contraction to 4.4% (FY23: 7.0%). Net debt was £3.1m ahead of Zeus’ forecast to £37.3m and a £12.6m improvement yoy. The final dividend was in line at 6.8p, bringing total FY24 dividend to 10.2p. Updated forecasts: Zeus update forecasts following yesterday’s results and introduce estimates for FY27. Revenue is unchanged for FY25 and FY26, but operating profit is rebased on the outperformance in FY24 and the sale of its lower margin Johnson Tiles business. Group EBIT margin increases 50bps in FY25 to 11.8%, driven by an improving South Africa margin and a UK division maintaining an underlying 15.0% margin. Following the sale of its working capital intensive Johnson Tiles and a rebase to FY24, net debt (excl. leases) improves by £7.5m in FY25 to £24.5m and by £6.7m in FY26 to £11.1m versus prior estimates. Net debt to EBITDA is now 0.5x and 0.2x in FY25 and FY26, respectively, providing increased optionality for the Group to execute on its M&A strategy across its highly fragmented markets as indicated in our Capital Markets Day note. Zeus keep dividends unchanged and provide a further breakdown of changes on pages 4-5. Valuation remains compelling: Norcros’ current valuation fundamentally undervalues the Group’s operating performance. For a business with a UK division generating a 15.0% margin (ex JT) in FY24 trading on a c. 50% discount to peers based on its current one year forward P/E of 6.7x and EV/EBIT of 5.3x suggests the market is applying an unwarranted discount to South African business despite being profitable, cash generative and a market leader. A dividend yield of 5.0% is further supported by a strong balance sheet with reduced leverage and a strong dividend history growing at a 7.2% CARG over the last decade. Based on our SoTP valuation, Zeus reiterate a fair value of 479p, offering c. 130% upside. |
Posted at 14/6/2024 07:41 by spangle93 Norcros (NXR) is ‘underappreciaAnalyst Tom Fraine retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and ‘fair value’ target price of 400p on the Citywire Elite Companies A-rated bathroom supplies group, which rose 0.5% to 208p yesterday after full-year results showed profits were slightly ahead of target. Although the shares have rallied nearly 14% this year, Fraine said the valuation ‘fails to recognise Norcros’s resilient operating performance over recent years’. ‘The quality of the group’s offering, including its customer service, distribution, supplier relations and new product development, are continuing to help deliver market share gains,’ he said. ‘We are confident that the company can continue to deliver a resilient performance under uncertain market conditions, as it has consistently done in recent years.’ In particular, the South African business, which has delivered strong growth is ‘materially underappreciated by investors, despite recent temporary difficulties’. ‘We believe the market share gains and the higher returns and margin profile, enhanced by the acquisition of Grant Westfield and the recent disposal of Johnson Tiles UK, indicate the group is a higher quality business than it was previously, and worthy of a much higher valuation,’ said Fraine. |
Posted at 09/5/2024 08:27 by davebowler Bathroom supplies group Norcros (NXR) is 'very undervalued' given its clear focus on growth, says Berenberg.Analyst Robert Chantry retained his 'buy' recommendation and target price of 325p on the stock, which gained 4.6% to 203p yesterday.The group held a capital markets day last week that focused on new medium-term targets and positioning the company as a 'design-led, capital-light and cash-generative building products business'.Its recent full-year trading update showed that it was 'more resilient' than several peers thanks to new product development, cross-selling and new customer wins that all combined to '[sell] a better mix of products and [help] operating margins move in the right direction'.It then disposed of the 'marginally profitable Johnson Tiles business', which Chantry said would 'improve UK margins further'.'More broadly, we like Norcros and its strategy to increase the quality of business mix in the portfolio, and we believe the stock is very undervalued at 6.6 times full-year 2025 price to earnings,' said Chantry. |
Posted at 05/12/2023 14:13 by pj84 Valuation suggests c 50% upsideFollowing the H124 results, we have essentially maintained our profit estimates and therefore our valuation of Norcros. Our P/E based valuation implies a value of 236p/share based on our diluted underlying FY24 EPS estimate of 31.5p/share, while our dividend discount model (DDM) implies a value of 255p/share, and if we take the average of the two, we arrive at 246p, implying c 50% upside. Norcros is trading at the lower end of its long-term consensus forward P/E range on 5.4x (Edison forecast P/E: 5.2x), suggesting that a lot of negativity is priced in. As and when we begin to see recovery in the UK and/or South Africa, the company may well attract a higher multiple. Simple forward P/E multiple valuation implies 236p/share The chart below details the progression of Norcros’s forward P/E over the last cycle. The range at the extremes is a low of 4x reached briefly post COVID-19 and again in 2022, and the high is c 12x at the end of 2013, before the Brexit hiatus. Over this period and outside the extreme ratings, the ‘real’ range has arguably been 6–9x and the average over the whole period is 7.4x. If we apply the 7.4x forward P/E multiple to our estimate of FY24e diluted underlying EPS of 31.5p, we arrive at a value of 236p/share, implying c 45% upside to the share price. Arguably, this method gives little credit for future potential acquisitions, which are part of the company’s strategy and may be forthcoming. |
