Original-Research: MLP SE - von NuWays AG Einstufung von NuWays AG zu MLP SE Unternehmen: MLP SE ISIN: DE0006569908 Anlass der Studie: Update Empfehlung: BUY seit: 19.02.2024 Kursziel: 11.00 Kursziel auf Sicht von: 12 Monaten Letzte Ratingänderung: Analyst: Henry Wendisch Case fully intact despite PW; chg. Topic: MLP released a profit warning and is now expecting an FY'23 EBIT of EUR 71m, thus missing the guidance of EUR 75-85m due to EUR 4m of goodwill impairments in the real estate business. Below market expectations: Adjusting for the impairment, the guidance range should have been met at the lower end EUR 75m, indicating a EUR 5m miss vs our estimate of EUR 80m(eCons: EUR 77m). This shoud mainly stem from lower than expected sales in Q4, while the cost base should have remained unchangend. Case remains fully intact for FY'24e and beyond: While the real estate business has been MLP's problem child, this impairment has been anticipated by the market, however at a smaller extent. Nevertheless, this does not impact our view on FY'24e, where we expect EBIT to reach EUR 90m (+27% yoy; eCons: EUR 88m), based on 1) no further downside from real estate, 2) a continuously strong banking business as well as 3) ongoing synergies across MLP's manifold segments while potential performance fees (not included in our estimates) could serve as a cherry on top. Moreover, management feels confident about their EBIT growth path, as they reaffirmed the mid-term guidance of EUR 100-110m of EBIT by FY'25e (eNuW: EUR 95m; eCons: EUR 96m). FY'23 dividend announced: Given the non-cash relevenat impairment as well as the solid net cash position of EUR 2.26 per share (as of 9M'23) MLP announced to keep the dividend stable at EUR 0.30 per share (5.5% dividend yield), despite slightly lower EPS. Attractive risk/reward profile: While the bad news should now remain tothe past, we look optimistically into FY'24e (see 8-pager from 25th January 2024). The risk/reward profile looks attractive and the stock seems to be downside protected by MLP's parts (FERI: EUR 5.12; net cash: EUR 2.27; MLP ex FERI: EUR 5.52; all per share), witnessed by the shares currently trade on the same level from before the profit warning. Moreover, valuation looks unjustified, given a 21% FCFY'24e, a 58% discount to its parts and historically low multiples albeit improvements in underlying profitability (see p. 2). Hence, we confirm our BUY recommendation with an unchanged PT of EUR 11.00, based on FCFY'24e and SOTP.
