Severfield — Delivering against strategy

Good momentum is apparent in Severfield’s results, with healthy progress in revenue and margins in the UK and a profit contribution from the Indian JV. Our estimates now expect a sustained JV profit contribution (previously neutral) and, with unchanged UK expectations, Severfield is on track to double PBT between FY16 and FY20. All in all, we see a clear strategy that is being well executed against visible financial targets.

Good progress on several fronts

A c 50%+ uplift in full year earnings and dividends and further growth in group cash balances were the headline financial highlights. Underlying EBIT and a maiden full year profit contribution from the Indian JV were both ahead of our expectations, partly offset by higher interest and share-based payments, leaving group PBT slightly better than anticipated overall. There was solid operational performance in the UK – with the highest H2 activity levels for seven years – and in India, which saw both revenue and margin gains y-o-y. At the same time, there is clear evidence of investment in equipment, processes, systems and people across the business, which indicates that this progress and future prospects are well-founded.

UK stable, India to contribute

UK market conditions are understood to be stable; a lower UK order book reflects progress with some major project work and is not expected to impact negatively on revenues given a good pipeline of prospects visible to management. The Indian order book has stepped up markedly with a significant proportion scheduled for this year. Coupled with a paydown of term debt (via cash equity injection from both JV partners), this alone should generate an uplift in the (share of) profit after tax going forward and we have slightly increased estimates to reflect this. Management states that the trajectory of group PBT (after pension net finance costs) is on track for £26m in FY20, compared to £19.8m reported for FY17, and dividend growth prospects should mirror this.

Valuation: Good growth, well positioned

Severfield’s share price is up c 11% ytd; it has outperformed the FTSE All-Share Index by c 7% over this time frame, more marginally so in the last three months. Our revised estimates indicate three-year (FY17-FY20e) CAGRs in excess of 9% for both earnings and dividends. Some of this is reflected into the current year P/E of 12.7x and EV/EBITDA of 7.5x, but factoring in a 3% prospective yield, strong balance sheet and positioning for future infrastructure projects suggests that Severfield can continue to outperform.

Eddie Stobart Logistics — Life in the fast lane

Through a mixture of winning new outsourced logistics contracts, exposure to the substantially higher-growth e-commerce subsector and solid underlying market growth, we forecast that Eddie Stobart Logistics (ESL) will grow EBIT at 15.3% CAGR over the next three years. Since being taken private in 2014, ESL has brought in new management and grown earnings significantly. Listing on AIM in April 2017 enabled the company to pay down debt, make a small acquisition and set the business up for the next phase of expansion.

We believe it should trade at least in line and our fundamentals-based valuation per share of 200p offers equity holders upside of 26%.
