Equity Bottom-Up

The delay of a major contract inevitably has an impact on short-term profitability. Solid State has a strong balance sheet and a growth strategy to develop into a higher value-added electronics components and systems business, as witnessed by the two recent small acquisitions. Post the current hiatus we expect this to drive growth and value creation.

Solid State - Defence contract delay affects expectations

Management’s strategy is to increase Solid State’s internal capabilities, enabling greater product differentiation and value added, particularly in the Systems business. This is expected to increase the addressable market and growth along with offering higher returns, key to the margin target of 12% (FY25 expectation c 8%). Achieving this through organic and inorganic means underpins management’s 20% CAGR target for shareholder returns.

Solid State - Record FY24; medium-term targets retained

Solid State’s trading update affirms the sustained strength in demand throughout H224, resulting in record FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT ahead of prior consensus of £155m and £12.5m, respectively. This is attributable to the earlier-than-expected delivery of a NATO contract. As a result, consensus FY24 revenue and adjusted PBT estimates have been raised by c 6% and c 20%, with respective FY25 estimates declining commensurately.

Solid State - Anticipating record adjusted PBT in FY24

Solid State has confirmed the strong H124 performance, boosted by a full period contribution from Custom Power combined with the benefit of delivering the NATO contract. Despite the continuing challenges we expect organic growth to resume from the lower trend level of profit excluding the NATO uplift from H224. Following the recent 5% uplift for both revenue and PBT, FY24 guidance and market consensus estimates are unchanged.
