Significant growth with strong earnings improvements in the 3rd quarter
In the third quarter of 2022, EPTI AB increased sales by 134.7% to SEK
53.74 M (PY: SEK 22.90 M). Consequently, sales in the first nine months of
2022 almost quadrupled year-on-year by 286.9% to SEK 155.2 million (PY: SEK
40.11 million). Of the nine-month revenue, SEK 125.69 million was
attributable to EPTI Service AB and SEK 48.72 million to EPTI Invest AB.
Total output increased by 51.4% to SEK 57.23 million (PY: SEK 37.79
million) in the third quarter of 2022, which corresponds to an increase of
172.9% to SEK 174.41 million (PY: SEK 63.91 million) on a nine-month basis.
EPTI Invest AB accounted for SEK 8.34 million (PY: SEK 18.46 million) of
the total operating performance and EPTI Service AB for SEK 48.89 million
(PY: SEK 19.34 million). The reason for the decrease in EPTI Invest's total
operating performance is due to the lower number of consolidated
investments. Thus, the investments are recorded as associated companies and
are no longer consolidated.
EBITDA amounted to SEK 4.78 million in the third quarter of 2022 (PY: EUR
12.41 million). The year-on-year reduction is attributable to highly
positive one-off effects from the previous year. In a nine-month view,
EBITDA decreased to SEK -6.68 million (PY: SEK 11.75 million). EPTI Service
AB contributed EBITDA of EUR 27.44 million, while the
EPTI Invest's EBITDA was SEK -11.00 million and that of the Group's parent
company was SEK -23.12 million.
Depreciation and amortization increased to SEK 10.48 million (PY: SEK 3.12
million), of which SEK 9.68 million was attributable to goodwill
amortization. The reason for this is the amortization of goodwill acquired
as part of the reverse IPO. The non-consolidated companies resulted in
negative financial expenses of SEK -4.16 million (PY: SEK 0.92 million).
Consequently, the total net result was SEK -73.25 million (PY: SEK 3.36
million).
According to our revaluation of EPTI Services and Apotekamo as well as the
warrants, we have determined a positive valuation discrepancy (hidden
reserves) in the amount of SEK 226.52 million. The valuation discrepancy in
addition to the NAV of SEK 715.59 million determined as of September 30,
2022, results in a total NAV according to the GBC valuation approach of SEK
942.12 million (previously: SEK 952.67 million).
At the current price of EUR 0.21 (Xetra, 17.11.22 17:35), this means a
significant upside potential of 281% and therefore we assign a BUY rating.
Even if we only consider the NAV on a K3 basis of SEK 715.59 million, this
would result in a NAV per share of SEK 6.70 or EUR 0.61 per share, which also
represents an enormous upside potential to the current share price of
190.5%.
