LIVE UPDATES: Fed Chair Jerome Powell to deliver major speech at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- Shares of Theon declined by 3.5% as the company published its annual report for FY24, which was in line with preliminary results announced on February 14. Despite a significant revenue increase of 61% to €352.4m and a 63% rise in earnings per share to €0.96, the stock experienced a downturn.
The financials indicated that the gross profit reached €109.2m, with a gross profit margin of 31%, and an adjusted EBIT of €88.4m resulted in an operating margin of 25.1%, slightly trailing the previous year’s 25.8%.
The report highlighted a substantial 144% increase in net working capital year-on-year (YoY), primarily due to higher receivables. Management had previously addressed this issue during a February roadshow, projecting that levels should normalize by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
Despite the drop in shares, Theon’s outlook for FY2025 remains unchanged, with 90% of the sales guidance already covered by the current order book. The company’s management anticipates the possibility of increasing the guidance if the order momentum continues to be strong and if the usual year-end surge in ad hoc orders materializes.
Theon’s management has provided a revenue estimate range of €410-430m for FY25 and expects the operating margin to align with historical mid-twenties levels.
