Second guidance hike carried by strong Q3 operating EBITDA; PT up

Yesterday, Semperit announced another guidance hike, carried by a stronger-than-anticipated operating EBITDA for Q3. In detail:

Q3 EBITDA well ahead of expectations. Semperit reported preliminary Q3 EBITDA of c. EUR 27m, up 26.5% yoy and well above our estimate of EUR 18.8m. The beat was mainly driven by stronger sales. Pricing normalised more slowly than expected as the company defended its margins in customer negotiations, and material costs weighed less on the P&L than anticipated. Adjusting for project costs of c. EUR 1m (eNuW), operating EBITDA should come in at c. EUR 28m (eNuW).

Impairment weighs on EBIT. Alongside the preliminary figures, Semperit announced a one-off, non-cash impairment of c. EUR 8m related to assets and liabilities now classified as held for sale. The stronger operating performance should partly offset this charge, but we still expect Q3 EBIT of EUR 6.6m (eNuW), down 28% yoy.

FY26 guidance raised for the second time. On the back of the strong Q3, Semperit now guides for FY26 operating EBITDA of c. EUR 115m. That is EUR 15m above the c. EUR 100m it guided in July and EUR 20m above its original guidance of EUR 95m. Notably, management flagged limited visibility on order intake for the final weeks of the year, as many customers continue to order at short notice.

Q4 also set to beat. The new guidance implies Q4 operating EBITDA of some EUR 18m, above our previous estimate of EUR 16.7m. In our view, this signals that management expects better outcomes from negotiations than we had assumed, which should support both sales and margins. We now model Q4 sales of EUR 198m (previously EUR 193m), up 10.7% yoy, and an operating EBITDA margin of 9.1% (previously 8.6%), down 6.2pp yoy against a strong comparable margin.

Estimates raised. Reflecting the stronger Q3 and a higher Q4 contribution of EUR 18.1m (eNuW), we raise our FY26e operating EBITDA to EUR 115m (previously EUR 105m). The Q3 impairment weighs on EBIT, but the stronger operating performance more than offsets it. We now expect FY26e EBIT of EUR 52.4m (previously EUR 50.5m).

Exceptional year in the making. FY26e is shaping up to be an exceptionally strong year, with the highest earnings since FY21 and, based on our FY26e EPS of EUR 1.51, a resumption of dividend payments. Part of this strength comes from windfall profits related to raw material price volatility and is therefore one-off in nature. Still, with a leaner cost base and a second guidance raise within a few months, Semperit's turnaround is clearly gaining traction.

BUY confirmed, PT raised to EUR 23.5 (previously EUR 22) based on DCF.
