Xebec Adsorption: BMO Cuts Price Target To Just $0.85 After Poor Q2 Margins

Xebec Adsorption (TSX: XBC) yesterday announced its second quarter financial results. The company announced revenues of $44.5 million, up from $40.33 million last quarter, while gross margins came in at $1.8 million, or just a 4% margin, compared to a 15% margin a year ago. The company also reported wider adjusted EBITDA and net losses for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA came in at ($12) million, while the net loss amounted to $23.4 million.

The firm said they continue to amass a backlog of sales, growing to $270.2 million as of August 10, a jump of $9.7 million since May.

Xebec currently has 12 analysts covering the stock with an average 12-month price target of C$1.48, or an upside of about 150%. Out of the 12 analysts, two have buy ratings, nine have hold ratings, and the last analyst has a sell rating on the stock. The street high price target sits at C$3, representing an upside of 400%.

In BMO Capital Markets’ note on the results, they reiterate their market perform rating while lowering their 12-month price target from C$1.75 to C$0.85, saying that after incorporating the results, they have lowered their estimates and price.

On the results, BMO says that if you back out the one-time charge of $8.3 million, the results generally came in line with their estimates other than adjusted EBTIDA, which was expected to come in at ($3.7) million but came in at ($12) million. However, both systems and support revenues came in line with their estimates.

As a result of the quarter, BMO has now lowered their full year 2022 estimates. They now expect adjusted EBITDA to be ($26) million, worse than the ($12) million estimate prior. They also expect Xebec to see their adjusted EBITDA to grow to $8 million in 2023, down from their $12 million estimate prior.

They caution investors, saying, “We continue to take a more cautious stance until the company can
show some margin improvement.”

Below you can see BMO’s updated estimates.
