Inderes Group - Q4: Clear miss driven by weak project business - SEB

Av SEB
Inderes's Q4 sales were surprisingly well below our estimate, given that the delta owes purely to December. Due to fixed costs driven cost base the absolute miss in EBITA was almost equal to the top-line miss and was clearly below our estimate. The number of commissioned research agreements continued to rise, which we find to be the positive spot of the report. In its guidance the company sees 2024 sales to grow and EBITA margin to improve vs. 2023.
