ChemoMetec's earnings upgrade puts the cost bridge in focus
By OnTheRice · Sources and limitations · Report a correction
ChemoMetec raised annual revenue and EBITDA guidance after stronger instrument demand and a lower cost base. Its EBITDA midpoint rose twice as much in kroner as its revenue midpoint. OTR's inference: the earnings case depends on costs and sales together. The 5 November update should help show how much comes from lasting improvements and how much from replacement timing.
Source confidenceNot assessed
What’s changing?
OTR midpoint arithmetic: revenue midpoint rises DKK15m while EBITDA rises DKK30m, implying DKK15m lower revenue-minus-EBITDA cost base. This is derived arithmetic, not a company cost forecast. Earlier instrument sales rose 13% while consumables fell 4%, so replacement demand is not proof of recurring-use recovery.
Key points
- For FY2026/27, company revenue guidance is DKK 560-590 million, previously DKK 545-575 million; EBITDA guidance is DKK 330-345 million, previously DKK 300-315 million. The company names NC-203 demand and a lower-than-expected cost base. The September annual release reported instrument sales up 13% and consumables down 4% in FY2025/26, while describing replacement of NC-200 with NC-203. OTR calculation from guidance midpoints: revenue midpoint rises DKK15m (DKK560m to DKK575m; +2.68%) and EBITDA midpoint rises DKK30m (DKK307.5m to DKK337.5m; +9.76%). Implied revenue-minus-EBITDA falls from DKK252.5m to DKK237.5m. This is midpoint arithmetic, not a company cost forecast.
What could change this view?
- Replacing older instruments can bring sales forward. Lower costs may be temporary. The guidance upgrade does not establish a fair stock price or recovery in recurring consumables.
