Quarterly results

ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).

E/P over time

E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.

Today's P/E sits at the 100 percentile of its own 2-quarter history (min 3.1, median 3.8, max 4.4; quarters with earnings only).

Against the central value of 6.36 EUR, the price of 2.30 EUR leaves a potential of 176.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 63.9% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

In brief

Met.Extra Group is an Italian company listed on Euronext Milan that processes and sells ferrous materials, with consolidated revenue of 39,233 thousand EUR in 2024, down 15% year on year. Its activity depends on a weak steel demand cycle, and the company ended 2024 with a reduced net debt position, which gives it some flexibility in a difficult cycle 1.

SWOT

Strengths

  • Two complementary business lines, with the Blend line clearly dominant and generating most of the revenue 1.
  • A reduced net debt position at the end of 2024, with a significant drop from the previous year 1.
  • Sustained profitability, with EBITDA stable as a share of revenue despite the sales contraction 1.

Weaknesses

  • High dependence on the Italian market, which fell considerably in 2024 1.
  • Falling revenue on both business lines, with a steeper decline on the Blend line 1.
  • Limited investment in research and development, which was absent in 2024 1.

Opportunities

  • The expected recovery in steel consumption could support Blend line volumes in the coming period 1.
  • Expanding sales in Europe, already begun on the Shreddering line, could reduce dependence on the Italian market 1.
  • The new Novara headquarters could support operating efficiency if completed as planned 1.

Threats

  • Weak steel demand, with only a modest recovery expected, could keep pressure on volumes 1.
  • Energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty could affect margins and investment plans 1.
  • The concentrated shareholding in Kyklos could limit the liquidity of the stock on Euronext Milan 1.

Risks

  • Dependence on the steel cyclehigh

    Revenue depends on real steel consumption, which has fallen in recent years and for which the recovery is expected to be only moderate 1.

  • Concentration on the Italian marketmedium

    The Italian market share of revenue fell to 49% but remains large, and a local contraction could affect results 1.

  • Energy costs and inflationmedium

    Uncertainty over energy prices and inflation could affect operating costs and margins 1.

  • Share liquiditylow

    The concentrated shareholding and very low trading volumes can limit the liquidity of the shares in the market 1.

  • Investment in the new headquarterslow

    Work on the new Novara headquarters involves significant spending, and delays could affect the financial plan 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the recovery in steel consumption materialises, Blend line volumes could return and support group revenue 1.
  • Low net debt at the end of 2024 offers financial flexibility for investment and for getting through a difficult period 1.
  • Diversification into foreign markets, already under way, could reduce dependence on the Italian market 1.

What would break the thesis

  • If steel demand stays below pre-pandemic levels, revenue could keep falling 1.
  • A decline in sales in Italy, the main market, could erode margins if not offset 1.
  • The concentrated shareholding and low share liquidity could limit investor interest 1.

The business

The Met.Extra Group processes and sells ferrous materials through two business lines: the Blend line, which prepares mixtures for steelworks, and the Shreddering line, which runs a shredding plant for metal materials from municipal waste-to-energy plants and authorised recovery consortia 1. The Blend line generated 36,448 thousand EUR of revenue in 2024 (93% of total), and the Shreddering line 2,785 thousand EUR (7%) 1. The company is controlled by Kyklos S.p.A., which holds 81.10% of the share capital 1.

In 2024 EBITDA was 5,301 thousand EUR, a margin of 13.3%, in line with the prior year, while net profit was 2,499 thousand EUR 1. Operating costs fell with volumes, according to the report, although service costs rose 28% 1. Investment was driven mainly by work on the new Novara headquarters 1.

By geography, sales in the Italian market fell 27% to 19,381 thousand EUR and represented 49% of revenue, against 58% in the previous year, while foreign market sales rose 2% 1. The company carried out no research and development activity in 2024 1.

Segments

Blend line

The Blend line is the main revenue source, at 36,448 thousand EUR in 2024, down 16% from 2023; recovered ferrous material is used in mixtures for steelworks 1. The decline was driven mainly by lower sales on the Italian market 1.

Shreddering line

The Shreddering line grew 8% in 2024 to 2,785 thousand EUR, helped partly by sales in Europe of 442 thousand EUR 1. Non-steel material is sold to third parties, and this is a smaller but growing line 1.

Sales by geography

The Italian market remained the main market but with a shrinking share, while Europe held its prior level with 19,410 thousand EUR of Blend revenue 1.

Market context

The group operates in the steel market, where real steel consumption fell in 2022, 2023 and 2024, with a moderate recovery forecast for 2025 and 2026 according to EUROFER as cited in the report 1. Demand remains weak because of economic uncertainty, inflation and energy prices, and consumption volumes are expected to stay below pre-pandemic levels 1.

For Met.Extra, the steel market trend directly affects the volumes of ferrous material it processes, so a delayed recovery could put pressure on revenue. The report gives no numerical guidance for the next year 1.

Trends

  • Moderate steel demand recoverytailwind

    The cited forecasts point to a modest rise in steel consumption in 2025 and 2026, which could support Blend line volumes if it materialises 1.

  • Weak demand and industrial uncertaintyheadwind

    Economic uncertainty, inflation and geopolitical tensions have kept demand low, which could limit sales volumes in the short term 1.

  • Circular economy and recyclingmixed

    Recycling ferrous materials from waste-to-energy plants and recovery consortia is a raw-material flow that does not depend solely on steel demand, which could provide stability 1.

  • High energy costsheadwind

    Energy prices, cited as a source of uncertainty, can affect the margins of a metal processor, so the effect on the company depends on how costs develop 1.

Competitive position

The annual report does not explicitly name competitors, but the group operates in ferrous material processing and trading, where steelworks suppliers and metal recyclers are the usual players 1. The company differentiates itself by integrating the chain from material recovery to sales to steelworks 1.

Its positioning in the Italian market, where sales share has shrunk, suggests local competitive pressure could be significant, while expansion in Europe remains limited 1.

  • Local ferrous metal recyclers

    Not identified in the report; they are Italian market players handling the same materials.

  • Integrated European steelworks

    They can produce in-house or buy ferrous materials from third parties, acting as both customers and indirect competitors.

  • European metal waste processors

    They operate on the same material flows, particularly in foreign markets.

  • Secondary raw material traders

    They broker ferrous materials between producers and steelworks, competing for the same volumes.
