Epwin Group supplies functional, low maintenance exterior building products (including windows, doors, roofline and rainwater goods) into a number of UK market segments and is a modest exporter.

Epwin is exposed to both repair, maintain, improve (RMI, c 70% revenue) and new build (c 30%) in the UK housing market. Despite the expected weakness in new build, demand from the RMI market has remained more resilient, which implies a relatively robust end to 2023 with some optimistic signals beginning to emerge from new build for 2024.

Financials

Epwin’s FY23 results were robust and management navigated inflationary pressures well. Despite some market headwinds, we have increased our FY24 and FY25 underlying operating profit estimates for the second time this year. Long-term, well-established growth trends imply that Epwin is well-placed to leverage off increasing demand for its energy-efficient and low-maintenance building products. Epwin offers an attractive investment case with the potential for uplifts from additional self-funded M&A. It trades on an FY24e P/E ratio of 8.3x, materially below the long-term average of 10.5x, and yields c 6%. The extended share buyback programme should help support the share price.
