Cannabis legalization around the corner

Topic: With the approval of the 'Cannabis Act', which is now expected to

take place at the beginning of April, Germany is seen to take a big leap

forward in regards to legalizing cannabis. This should translate into a

significant tailwind for players such as Cantourage.

As per consistent and reliable German media reports from ZEIT, dpa and

Berliner Morgenpost, the governing coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP has

finalized the specifics for the legalization of cannabis. The legislation

is scheduled to take effect on April 1st.

Once the "Cannabis Act" becomes effective, Germany will not only allow

adults to own 25 grams of cannabis, grow up to three plants and establish

non-profit cannabis clubs but cannabis will also loose its narcotic drug

status. Cantourage should particularly benefit from the latter as it

significantly simplifies the process of getting a prescription for medical

cannabis. In fact, it should get as easy as getting one for ibuprofen 600.

With this, the number of patients should remain on a stellar growth path at

the expense of the black market (~4m cannabis users as of 2021) and in

favour of established players such as Cantourage. In Canada, the number of

medial cannabis patients grew from 24k in 2015 to 330k in 2018, the year of

the full legalization. Thanks to its broad global supplier network with

more than 60 grower partners, its own recently launched telemedicine

platform, telecan°, and a growing distribution network across Europe, we

regard Cantourage as well positioned to benefit from this change. In fact,

the company looks set to grow sales at a 59% CAGR (2022-25e) while at the

same time reaching a high single-digit EBITDA margins thanks to the

resulting operating leverage.

Ending FY23e on a high note. Following 9M results with EUR 17.2m sales (+85%

yoy) and EBITDA of EUR -0.4m, the forth quarter looks set to remain on a

strong growth trajectory: sales +54% yoy to EUR 7.5m and EBITDA of EUR 0.6m.

Above all, this should be carried by the ongoing ramp-up, i.e. a gradually

increasing number of fully onboarded cultivators having a product deployed

at pharmacies.

We confirm our BUY rating with an unchanged EUR 11 PT, based on DCF.
