Datalogic SpA European Mid-Cap – Capital Goods & Industrial Engineering Industrial Automation back on track; up to Buy Summary: We upgrade Datalogic to Buy (from Hold) on the back of the improving momentum in the Industrial Automation (IA) division. The 15% share price fall in the last month is unjustified and offers a good entry point, in our view. Our new price target is EUR17.50 as we increase 2017 adjusted EPS by 11% and roll over our valuation. Our view in a nutshell: Datalogic is one of the leading players in the automatic data capture and industrial automation markets, which we expect to grow at a mid-single-digit CAGR in the medium term. Even though market fundamentals were strong, and remain so, we downgraded Datalogic in February 2015 due to uncertainties related to the IA unit’s reorganisation and the associated rise in distribution costs. However, the reorganisation is now on track, with the most painful part and one-off costs finally behind the company. We expect our views to be confirmed by solid Q4 2015 results. Q4 2015 previews – investment in IA is paying off: We forecast that Datalogic’s revenues will rise by 20.3% yoy to EUR149.8m in Q4 2015 on the back of: o the strong momentum in the Automated Data Capture (ADC) division due to successful product launches and the hiring of salespeople during 2015, especially in Europe; and o the recovery of the IA division, mainly driven by a solid order book in the US and in the transportation and logistics market. Strong product innovation, together with the successful reorganisation of IA will, in our view, support a further EBIT margin improvement in Q4 2015 (+300bp yoy to 10.8% in Q4 2015). Those factors, complemented by lower interest expenses after the refinancing in Q1 2015, are expected to result in net profit more than doubling yoy to EUR11.5m in Q4 2015. Model update: We raise our 2017 and 2018 top-line forecasts by c8% to reflect the progress made in IA’s reorganisation. Conversely, we slightly trim our EBIT margin assumption (c20bp) due to the negative FX impact on gross margin, but flag that it will ease in the medium term. The negative impact of FX on margins is fully offset by the interest savings due to the recent refinancing and we upgrade our 2016 and 2017 EPS forecasts by 6% and 11% respectively. We are ahead of consensus by c8-9% on EPS. We increase our price target to EUR17.50 based on a 60:40 weighting between our DCF analysis and trading comparables. Our price target offers 17% upside potential. Implied EV/EBITDA multiples of 11.9x and 10.5x and P/E multiples of 18.3x and 16.9x for 2016/17E respectively are in line with the 10-year sector average (calculated using Cognex, Honeywell, Omron and Zebra Technologies). 12 January 2016 BUY Current price Price target EUR15.00 EUR17.50 11/01/2016 Milan Close Market cap (EURm) 872 Reuters DAL.MI Bloomberg DAL IM Changes made in this note Rating: Buy (Hold) Price target: EUR17.50 (13.00) Estimates changes 2015E 2016E 2017E old % old % old % Sales 511 5.8 541 7.5 567 7.9 EBIT 54 -0.4 64 5.5 71 6.1 EPS 0.74 11.2 0.86 9.9 0.97 5.6 Source: Berenberg estimates Share data Shares outstanding (m) 58 Enterprise value (EURm) 920 Daily trading volume 55,297 Key data Price/book value 2.8 Net gearing 3.4% CAGR sales 2014-2018 8.4% CAGR EPS 2014-2018 18.8% Interactive model click here to explore * there may be a delay for the new estimates to be updated on the interactive model View all interactive models in Mid Cap (EU) Y/E 31/12., EURm 2013 2014 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E Sales 450.7 464.5 541.1 581.3 612.1 640.2 EBITDA 60.0 69.4 74.0 86.7 94.1 100.7 EBIT 45.5 46.9 54.2 67.4 75.2 82.1 Net profit 26.9 30.9 42.0 51.0 56.6 61.8 Y/E net debt (net cash) 97.0 76.0 48.1 10.6 -32.6 -78.9 EPS (reported) 0.47 0.53 0.72 0.87 0.97 1.06 EPS (recurring) 0.53 0.68 0.82 0.95 1.03 1.10 CPS 2.27 1.49 1.48 1.48 2.04 2.83 DPS 0.15 0.16 0.18 0.22 0.22 0.22 Gross margin 47.2% 48.6% 46.2% 47.4% 47.7% 48.0% EBITDA margin 13.3% 14.9% 13.7% 14.9% 15.4% 15.7% EBIT margin 10.1% 10.1% 10.0% 11.6% 12.3% 12.8% Dividend yield 1.6% 1.1% 1.2% 1.4% 1.5% 1.5% ROCE 8.5% 9.0% 10.7% 13.2% 14.0% 13.8% EV/sales 1.4 2.0 1.7 1.5 1.4 1.2 EV/EBITDA 10.4 13.7 12.4 10.2 8.9 7.9 EV/EBIT 13.7 20.2 17.0 13.1 11.2 9.7 P/E 17.3 22.0 18.2 15.7 14.5 13.5 Source: Company data, Berenberg Simona Sarli Analyst +44 20 3207 7834 [email protected]

the IA division.

● High cash generation supports future growth:High cash generation supports future growth:High cash generation supports future growth:High cash generation supports future growth: Datalogic’s

investments in product innovation and external growth. We expect

cash conversion will remain between 75-85% in the next few years,

leaving plenty of room to boost investments in R&D and consider

European and North American targets in IA.

● Our valuation is based on a 60:40 weighting between DCF analysis

Q4 2015 preview

In a few weeks, Datalogic will report preliminary sales followed by its full year results at the beginning of March (the exact date is still to be announced).

We forecast that Datalogic’s revenues will rise by 20.3% yoy from EUR124.5m in Q4 2014 to EUR149.8m in Q4 2015 on the back of the following factors.

● Strong momentum in the ADC division: We expect sales to increase by +19.0% yoy in Q4 2015 to EUR99.0m (versus +18.2% yoy in 9M 2015). This will be supported by successful product launches and the hiring of salespeople during 2015, especially in Europe.

● The recovery of the IA division, mainly driven by a solid order book in the US: The reorganisation of the salesforce by end-market rather than product line, and management’s increased focus on product innovation for the transportation and logistics markets, are yielding benefits. This was demonstrated by the division’s return to top line growth in Q3 2015 following six consecutive quarters of declines – ie +9.2% yoy at constant FX, mainly driven by the US (+20.8% yoy at constant FX). Datalogic is now successfully leveraging its long-standing relationships with some of the largest retail chains globally to provide fully integrated scanning solutions, not only for its clients’ front-end operations but also for their back-end (ie warehouses/distribution facilities) processes. In addition, we expect Q4 2015 to benefit from the contract with Royal Mail, which Datalogic won in May 2015. We estimate the contract is worth cEUR29m and in Q4 2015 expect it to contribute cEUR6m to the systems segment of the IA division, which in Q3 2015 was still declining by double digits (-11.3% yoy to EUR3.2m in Q3 2015). On the back of these factors, we estimate that the IA division will report revenues of EUR43.5m in Q4 2015, equivalent to a growth rate of 23.7% yoy (+20.7% at constant FX).

Strong product innovation together with the successful reorganisation of IA will, in our view, support a further margin improvement in Q4 2015. We forecast that the EBIT margin will rise by 80bp qoq to 10.8% in Q4 2015 and by 300bp yoy. We think that this, coupled with the beneficial effect of the refinancing in Q1 2015, should result in net profit more than doubling yoy to EUR11.5m in Q4 2015.

Change in estimates

We adjust our model to reflect the following developments.

● Datalogic has made progress with the reorganisation of the IA division. This was demonstrated by the improvement in revenue growth in Q3 2015 (+9.2% at constant FX after six consecutive quarters of declining revenues).

● The company’s gross margin has declined due to some price erosion on existing product lines (we estimate the negative impact was c70bp in 2015) and, to a larger extent, the negative effect of the USD appreciation – c40-45% of revenues are denominated in USD versus c60% of variable costs. However, the negative FX impact on gross margin should start to ease from H1 2016, because:

o the IA division continues to improve, especially in the US, so the percentage of revenues denominated in USD will rise and, thus, the currency mismatch between top line and variable costs will decrease; and

o a new manufacturing facility for IA products in Hungary will be fully operational by H1 2016; currently IA products are only manufactured in the US and in Vietnam, and in both cases costs are denominated in USD.

● R&D costs are lower than we initially expected. During the first half of 2015, the company guided for R&D costs in the range of 9.5-10.0% of sales in 2015 and 9.5% in 2016. This was due to higher investments in product launches in IA, as well as a modularisation project mainly targeting the ADC unit’s products. However, in 9M 2015 the company invested 8.9% of sales in R&D. We expect the R&D investment levels reported in the first nine months of the year to continue in Q4 2015. We also believe this trend will continue in the medium term.

● Datalogic has lowered its net interest expense through its recent refinancing.

Berenberg versus consensus

As a result of our estimate changes, for 2016 and 2017 we are now 3-4% ahead of consensus on the top line, c4-5% on profitability and 8-9% on net income. However, due to the limited broker coverage, the deviation in consensus forecasts is extremely high. Consensus is not, therefore, meaningful in our view.

Valuation

Our new price target of EUR17.50 is based on a 60:40 weighting between our DCF analysis and trading comparables. This is equivalent to 17% upside to the current share price, 2016 and 2017 EV/EBITDA multiples of, respectively, 11.9x and 10.5x, and to 2016 and 2017 P/E multiples of 18.3x and 16.9x for an adjusted EPS CAGR of 14.7%.

We afford a higher weight to DCF to fully capture the growth and margin expansion potential beyond 2016, especially given that the reorganisation of the IA division is now on track. This was demonstrated by Q3 2015’s solid order backlog and improvement in the division’s top line growth (+9.2% at constant FX after six consecutive quarters of declining revenues).

DCF analysis

We roll-over our DCF to 2016. Our new model yields a fair value per share of EUR18.77, equivalent to 25.2% upside to the current share price, based on the following assumptions.

● We assume a terminal EBIT margin of 13.50%, up from 10.1% in 2014. In our view, this should be feasible considering that the ADC division (68% of sales in 9M15) has, over the past two years, consistently reported an EBITDA margin of c20%. Meanwhile, IA (26% of sales in 9M 2015) reported an EBITDA margin of 4.4% in 2014 but, prior to the troubled acquisition of Accu-Sort in 2012, it used to have margins in the low/mid-teens range (ie 12-14%). Indeed, assuming the revenue contribution of the two divisions remains the same and that ADC’s margins stay at 20% while those of IA improve to only 10%, which is below the historical level, the implied EBITDA margin for the group would be above 16%.

● We assume a WACC of 8.3%, based on 1.0 beta, a risk-free rate of 3.5% (equivalent to 2000-2015 average yield for the 10-year Italian government bond), a 6.0% premium and a cost of debt of 4.0%. This is in line with Datalogic’s current cost of debt.

● We factor in a normalised tax rate of 21.0%. We estimate an effective tax rate of 19.0% in 2015. We believe this will increase as IA, which is mainly exposed to North America and thus subject to a higher tax rate compared to Datalogic’s Asian operations, recovers.

● We assume a long-term growth rate of 2.0%. We believe this is quite conservative, considering that, according to VDC Research, Datalogic’s reference markets, ie automatic data capture and industrial automation, are expected to growth in the medium term at a CAGR of, respectively, 5% and 6%.

● The terminal value accounts for 57% of the total value, indicating that our long-term assumptions are not overly aggressive.
