Accsys Technologies — EBITDA milestone achieved, Hull build delay

FY19 performance at the Arnhem Accoya facility has been robust with successful delivery of higher volumes from raised capacity. Construction delays at the new Hull Tricoya facility outside Accsys’s control are a near-term frustration and dampen EBITDA progression over our forecast horizon. That said, achieving a positive group EBITDA outturn in FY19 is a significant milestone. The current valuation is underpinned by Arnhem.

FY19 performance at the Arnhem Accoya facility has been robust with successful delivery of higher volumes from raised capacity. Construction delays at the new Hull Tricoya facility outside Accsys’s control are a near-term frustration and dampen EBITDA progression over our forecast horizon.

Arnhem achieving higher throughput rates

Selling 49,500m3 of Accoya volumes in FY19 infers that H2 production exceeded 28,000m3. The average monthly run rate then was not far short of the 5,000m3 required to reach the stated 60,000m3 pa capacity level. This trading performance has moved the group into an EBITDA positive position overall, consistent with our FY19 estimates. Although we have raised our Arnhem volume assumptions beyond FY19 to reflect this run rate, a higher Tricoya mix and slightly lower Tricoya volume overall (see below) cause us to moderate the rate of EBITDA increase for the next two years. At the PBT level, the impact is negligible in FY20 and now generates a small loss in FY21 (where we had a small profit previously). We remain encouraged by the supportive demand indicators following capacity expansion.

Six-month push back to Tricoya plant commissioning

The expected commissioning of the new Hull Tricoya facility and its associated revenue generation has been pushed back around six months into Q121 owing to the need for reinforcement work previously unforeseen by the main contractor. While disappointing, it is understood that there are no process or performance implications for the plant once operational. With capacity management, we believe that Arnhem is be able to substantially cover Tricoya volume requirements over this time, albeit at a lower gross contribution margin versus Accoya solid wood sales.

Valuation: Accoya benchmark, Tricoya upside

The company’s share price broke up through 100p in November, remaining above this level subsequently and is currently in the middle of its 2019 ytd trading range of 104–123p. Notwithstanding the near-term newsflow, our last valuation comments remain valid; rolling forward the 10-year time horizon by one year, the current share price is consistent with our DCF model for Arnhem/Accoya with an assumption of c 6% inflation (in prices and opex). In other words, the market is currently attributing no value to the Hull/Tricoya activities, which clearly provide upside potential. With Hull volume now expected to ramp up in FY21, Accsys is valued at 1.8x revenue and 19.3x EV/EBITDA in that year on our estimates.
