Original-Research: Cantourage Group SE - from NuWays AG Classification of NuWays AG to Cantourage Group SE Company Name: Cantourage Group SE ISIN: DE000A3DSV01 Reason for the research: Update Recommendation: Kaufen from: 28.05.2024 Target price: EUR 10.00 Target price on sight of: 12 Monaten Last rating change: Analyst: Christian Sandherr Debottlenecking production capacities Topic: Cantourage and Portocanna entered into a strategic partnership which offers Cantourage a capital light way to increase its production capacities significantly amid the surging demand for medical cannabis in Germany. Legalization light is transforming the market. As of the beginning of April, cannabis is no longer being considered a narcotic in Germany, notably simplifying dispensing by pharmacies and prescriptions by doctors. Receiving a prescription for medical cannabis has become as easy as for ibuprofen 600. With its own telemedicine platform, telecan
, and the globalsupplier network consisting of more than 60 grower partners, Cantourage iswell positioned to benefit from it. This change can also be seen in salesgrowth figures.
While Q1 (on preliminary basis) started out with "only" 26% yoy salesgrowth to EUR 6.2m, growth in April (the first month following the changesfrom the Cannabis Act) has already shown a significant acceleration to 160%compared to last year. While we do expect growth to somewhat slow down, itis seen to remain in the high double-digits throughout the remainder of theyear; eNuW FY24e sales +81% yoy. As a result, EBITDA should turn positivefollowing last year's EUR 500k loss (eNuW EUR 1.8m).
In order to facilitate the surged demand, Cantourage entered into astrategic agreement with Portocanna,a Portuguese medical cannabis processor. Thanks to its state-of-the-artproduction facility, Cantourageis increasing its annual processable capacities from currently 7-8t toroughly 14t without having to significantly invest. Assuming an averageselling price of EUR 7.5 per gram, this should enables Cantourage to processproducts worth more than EUR 100m p.a., in our view. Importantly, thisagreement also provides the company with additional flexibility in regardsto further scaling production capacities if needed during the next fewyears.
Besides the additional production capacities, Cantourage is also able toexclusively distribute Portocanna's own production line 'Hexacan', underwhich Portocanna brings together the products of numerous growers fromPortugal and Spain.
Cantourage remains a BUY with an unchanged EUR 10 PT based on DCF.
