Pieno žvaigždės Makes a Comeback in Q3 After a Weaker First Half! 📊 Pieno Žvaigždės demonstrated stability in Q3, recovering from a challenging first half of the year marked by a decline in profits. While operating profitability had dropped in the first half, it stabilized in Q3 at 10%, approaching last year's levels. This recovery enabled the company to maintain its net profit in Q3 at nearly the same level as the previous year – €5 million. 📈 In the third quarter, funds from operations reached €6 million. However, free cash flow decreased in the third quarter due to changes in working capital. Despite this, the annual free cash flow totaled €8.6 million, supporting a potential dividend payout at a similar level to last year.💰 Pieno Žvaigždės continues to stand out in the Baltic market with a competitive P/E of ~5.4x and EV/EBITDA of ~3.5x. 🌟 Want to dive deeper?

Grigeo Group’s Q3 Update: Profit Margins Shrink Under Cost of Goods Sold Pressure Grigeo Group achieved a strong 17% YoY revenue growth in Q3 📈, but cost of goods sold pressures, mainly in the core paper segment, led to a sharp decline in gross margin (20,9% compared to 28,6% in 2023 Q3) and a 15% YoY decline in gross profit 📉. Operating expenses, a bright spot, were managed effectively: selling expenses increased only by 6%, and administrative expenses decreased by 7% YoY ✨. Despite these operating improvements, shrinking gross margin continued to impact net profit, which dropped to €4.1 million from €5.8 million in Q3 2023. CapEx has increased substantially (€6.4 million in 2024 Q3 and €15.3 million TTM + €18,6 million of acquisitions) and accompanied by increase in working capital pushed free cash flow into negative territory. However, normalization of CapEx (at approximately €10 million annually) and stabilization of working capital are expected to restore positive FCF. ⚖️ Valuation multiples have risen slightly🔼: EV/EBITDA ~3.99x, P/E ~7.03x, but remain at relatively attractive levels. The key concern remains a mounting pressure on gross margin.💡 Take the first step towards smarter investment choices – explore PLY platform! 🚀 #GrigeoGroup #FinancialReports #MarketAnalysis #NasdaqBaltic #PLYPlatform

Q3 2024: Infortar AS Financial Shift with Key Company Consolidation – A New Chapter Unfolds 📊 In Q3 2024, Infortar’s financial landscape transformed with the consolidation of Tallink’s results, with an impressive 87% YoY revenue growth and a 43% YoY increase in operating profit 📈. While Infortar’s core energy segment is under profitability pressure – barely covering depreciation at the EBITDA level – the shipping segment has contributed positively to overall performance 🚢. However, let‘s keep in mind that despite the consolidation 31,5% of Tallink still belong to minority shareholders. Current (TTM) valuation metrics also do not reveal a true picture because of the beginning of Tallink‘s consolidation. On the „sum of the parts“ basis Infortar‘s TTM EBITDA amounts to about 311M Eur (186M Eur – Tallink plus 125M Eur – without Tallink) while EV after consolidation jumped to ~2,0B Eur. That implies ~6,4x EV/EBITDA, still reasonable, however hardly very cheap.
