• Sales SEK 226m (flat y-o-y, +2% vs. ABGSCe)
  • EBIT SEK 12m, 23% below ABGSCe on higher corporate costs
  • Segment EBIT broadly in line; acquisition costs cited (unspecified)

Q1 results

Studsvik reported Q1 sales of SEK 226m, flat y-o-y and 2% above our estimate. EBIT came in below expectations at SEK 12m (vs ABGSCe 16m). However, segment EBIT was broadly in line with our estimates in aggregate, but higher-than-expected corporate costs (EBIT for group functions was SEK -12m vs. ABGSCe -8m) dragged down the group result. Management attributes the lower profit partly to strategic initiatives and acquisition-related costs related to the Kärnfull Next acquisition, though these are not quantified.

Estimate changes and outlook

The Q1 numbers in isolation imply that EBIT comes down 5%. However, we note that the acquisition-related costs are one-off in nature, and since management has not quantified them, the underlying profitability of the quarter is difficult to assess. Management points to continued demand for Studsvik's products and services, a strong order backlog in FM&WM, increasing BlackStarTech sales in Scandpower, and an improving mix in D&RPS. Moreover, the strategic investments (Kärnfull Next, Rolls-Royce SMR and Novatron MoUs) are building optionality in SMRs and fusion for Studsvik.
