Memo

SOGECLAIR (ALSOG.PA). Latest full fiscal year: 2022; data up to 2022-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 134.9 m EUR in 2022; YoY growth 11.5%; net margin 1.5%; ROE 4.1%; net debt/EBITDA -1.3x.

The estimated value range is 19,654.39–35,246.80 EUR per share (median of 2 methods, agreement: low); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 24,897.12 EUR, the price of 25.90 EUR leaves a potential of 96,027.9% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 99.9% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 68/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: returns. Not investment advice.

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • EPS CAGR 3Y: 628.7%
  • P/E (TTM): 0.0x
  • EV/EBITDA: -1.3x
  • The price is below the estimated value range

What contradicts it

  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: -10.0%
  • The valuation methods diverge

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): FCF conversion, Interest coverage, FCF yield, Shareholder yield (distributions), Payout ratio (FCF).

In brief

SOGECLAIR is a European group providing engineering and services for aerospace, defence, business aviation, automotive and rail, with simulation software through its subsidiary A.V. Simulation. In 2022 its revenue rose to 134.93 million EUR as commercial aviation recovered strongly after the pandemic 1. The group remains exposed to raw material prices, the dollar exchange rate and cyber risk 1.

SWOT

Strengths

  • A solid financial structure, with stable equity and moderate net debt at the end of 2022 1.
  • Geographic and sector diversification, with activity in aerospace, defence, automotive, rail and business aviation 1.
  • Extensive international presence, with sites in several countries and a network of subsidiaries supporting global clients 1.

Weaknesses

  • Profitability in the Americas zone remained negative in 2022, affected by reconversion costs and labour tensions 1.
  • The operating margin remains thin, which leaves little cushion against cost increases 1.
  • Staff turnover was high in 2022, and average headcount fell from the previous year 1.

Opportunities

  • A recovery in commercial and business aviation could generate new demand for engineering services 1.
  • Diversification into defence and space could add long-term contracts 1.
  • Greener transport and simulation technologies could open new projects, according to the outlook presented by the company 1.

Threats

  • Rising raw material and energy prices could reduce margins if they are not passed on to clients 1.
  • Cyberattacks could affect production systems and proprietary data 1.
  • Exchange-rate fluctuations could affect results and the value of subsidiaries outside the euro zone 1.

Risks

  • Raw material dependencehigh

    Supply of qualified raw materials is exposed to availability and price risks, which could halt production or compress margins 1.

  • Cyber riskhigh

    The group's IT systems, directly connected to client networks, could be targeted by attacks that lead to data theft or the interruption of projects 1.

  • Currency riskmedium

    Contracts partly paid in US dollars and costs in euros and Canadian dollars expose the group to fluctuations that could affect results 1.

  • Pandemic-related riskmedium

    The company noted that the pandemic's effects on air traffic and investment persisted, which could reduce revenue in some segments 1.

  • Research and development risklow

    Failure of research programmes, impairment of assets or abandonment of programmes could affect results if the expected return does not materialise 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the recovery in commercial aviation continues, growth in Europe and business aviation could support the group's results 1.
  • Diversification into defence, space and greener transport technologies could reduce dependence on a single sector 1.

What would break the thesis

  • Operating margins remain thin, and the Americas zone was loss-making, which could limit the ability to absorb new cost shocks 1.
  • If raw material prices and staff costs keep rising, their pass-through to clients could be incomplete 1.
  • Exposure to exchange rates and cyber risk could generate unforeseen losses for a group of moderate size 1.

What to watch

  • Evolution of the operating margin in the Americas zone and the effect of pricing and productivity measures2023
  • Pace of the recovery in commercial and business aviation in revenue2023
  • Level of raw material costs and their pass-through to clients2023

The business

SOGECLAIR operates as an engineering and services group for the aerospace, defence, rail and automotive industries, with more than 25 sites worldwide 1. It provides long-term engineering services to aircraft manufacturers, series production and simulation solutions. Activities are organised by geographic zone, Europe/Africa, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, while the holding coordinates strategy, financing and corporate functions 1.

Revenue in 2022 was 134.93 million EUR, up 11.5% from 2021, and current operating income reached 4.6 million EUR 1. The group kept a solid financial structure, with consolidated equity of 60.7 million EUR at the end of 2022 1. The ONE SOGECLAIR strategic plan, launched to reorganise the group, was under way in 2022 1.

Segments

Americas zone

The Americas zone accounts for 20.1% of revenue and grew 16.6%, driven by growth in engineering, solutions and consulting activities 1. Profitability remained negative in 2022 because of the costs of converting the Savannah plant and labour tensions, and management expects a return to profitability through pricing and productivity gains 1.

Asia-Pacific zone

The Asia-Pacific zone accounts for 4.3% of revenue, with growth of 72% in 2022, mainly linked to rail activity 1. Operating income remained stable at about 1.1 million EUR 1.

Market context

The markets SOGECLAIR serves depend on investment by airlines and aircraft manufacturers, on defence and space budgets, and on automotive and rail investment 1. The company reported a strong recovery in commercial aviation in 2022 and good momentum in business aviation 1. Demand in the automotive industry was weaker, with activity declining in the Europe / Africa zone 1.

The group's clients are concentrated in France, which represents a significant part of revenue, as well as in Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific 1. Diversification into defence, space and business aviation is presented as a response to the drop in investment during the pandemic 1. For 2023 the company anticipated a new year of growth, without giving a precise figure 1.

Trends

  • Defence and space investmenttailwind

    The company pointed to diversification into defence and space as a response to the pandemic's impact on investment 1. If defence budgets rise, this segment could complement commercial aviation 1.

  • Raw material costsheadwind

    Dependence on raw materials and energy is classed as a risk with high frequency and high impact, and price increases are not always passed on immediately to clients 1. High prices could compress the group's margins 1.

  • Currency movementsmixed

    Most costs are in euros and Canadian dollars, while some contracts are paid in US dollars, and the currency impact was negative in 2022 1. Exchange-rate developments could affect results, depending on exposure and existing hedges 1.
