Stevanato Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

– Establishes Fiscal 2023 Guidance –

PIOMBINO DESE, Italy–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stevanato Group S.p.A. (NYSE: STVN), a leading global provider of drug containment, drug delivery, and diagnostic solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, and established fiscal 2023 guidance.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Highlights (compared with the same periods last year)

Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 26% to €292.1 million (approximately 23% on a constant currency basis), compared with the same period last year, driven by growth in both of the Company’s business segments, the shift to high value solutions, and favorable foreign currency translation. Top-line results for the fourth quarter were better than expected due to the timing of revenue that was previously forecasted in Q1 2023. This includes revenue from certain Engineering projects and Covid-19. As a result, revenue from Covid-19 represented approximately 12% of total revenue. As expected, revenue from high value solutions increased to 30% of total revenue for the fourth quarter.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, gross profit margin increased 290 basis points to 34.3% driven by higher revenue, the mix shift to high value solutions, better leverage of fixed costs, and the recovery of inflationary costs, while operating profit margin of 21.6% included a benefit of €3.0 million related to a joint development project.

Full Year 2022 Results

Revenue for fiscal 2022 increased 17% to €983.7 million (approximately 13% on a constant currency basis), compared with the same period last year, driven by growth in both of the Company’s business segments, the shift to high value solutions and favorable foreign currency translation. As expected, full-year revenue growth was partially offset by lower revenue from Covid-19, which accounted for 11% of revenue. Revenue from high value solutions was approximately 30% of full-year revenue, compared to 25% in 2021.

For the full year 2022, strong revenue generation, favorable mix, and operating efficiencies led to a 110 basis point increase in gross profit margin of 32.5%, which was tempered by inflation. Operating profit margin improved to 19.6% for 2022.

Franco Moro, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with a strong finish to 2022, thanks to the collective efforts of our employees worldwide. Over the last 18 months, we have worked alongside customers to address their growing need for high value solutions. With this added visibility, future capacity demand in the United States and Europe has outpaced our initial expectations. As a result, we are accelerating investment in the United States to meet our customers’ most pressing needs and capitalize on this favorable demand. Concurrently, we are slowing the timing of our project in China to prioritize our expansion efforts in the U.S. and Italy.”

Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions Segment (BDS)

Revenue grew 25% to €231.5 million (approximately 21% on a constant currency basis), for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 15% to €799.7 million (approximately 11% on a constant currency basis) for the full year, compared with the same periods last year. Period-to-period increases were driven by growth in core drug containment products.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, revenue from high value solutions increased to €87.2 million, while revenue from other containment and delivery solutions increased to €144.3 million. For the full year, revenue from high value solutions increased 41% to €293.2 million, while revenue from other containment and delivery solutions grew 4% to €506.4 million.

Year-over-year gross profit margin expansion in the fourth quarter was driven by higher revenue, mix, better leverage from fixed costs and the recovery of inflationary costs. For the full year, the Company’s growth, favorable mix shift, and operating efficiencies helped expand gross profit margin, which was also tempered by inflation. Operating profit margin in both the quarter and the fiscal year benefited from increases in other income.

Engineering Segment

Revenue increased 30% to €60.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and was slightly ahead of expectations due to the timing and progression of projects. For the full year, revenue grew 23% to €184.0 million, compared with the same periods last year.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, gross profit margin and operating profit margin decreased compared with the same period last year mostly due to project mix, but on a full-year basis both gross profit margin and operating profit margin improved mainly driven by contributions from more accretive business lines and ongoing optimization efforts to improve operational efficiencies.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net cash of €46.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of €228.7 million. As expected, capital expenditures for the full year totaled €302.6 million, as the Company continued its investment in global expansion initiatives.

For fiscal year 2022, cash generated from operating activities was €103.3 million, reflecting increased working capital needs to fund growth initiatives and higher levels of inventory to mitigate supply chain risk in the current environment. As expected, cash used for investing activities was €243.0 million and the main contributor to negative free cash flow of €137.0 million.

New Order Intake and Backlog

For the fourth quarter of 2022, new order intake totaled approximately €237 million, compared with €278 million in the same period last year. The Company ended the year with a committed backlog of approximately €957 million, a 9% increase over the same period last year, reflecting the expected decline in orders related to Covid-19. Excluding Covid-19, backlog increased 21%.

Full Year 2023 Guidance

The Company is introducing fiscal year 2023 guidance and expects:

In addition, the Company expects that capital expenditures will range between 35% and 40% of revenue.

Executive Chairman, Franco Stevanato, concluded, “With yet another year of consistent delivery against our financial objectives amid a favorable demand environment, we are well positioned to capitalize on increased customer demand and secular tailwinds to drive durable organic growth to create long-term shareholder value.”

The words “expects,” “establishing,” “future,” “accelerating,” “slowing,” “committed,” “expected,” “introducing,” “visibility,” “increased,” “well positioned,” “drive,” “create,” “growing,” “favorable,” and similar expressions (or their negative) identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are statements regarding the Company’s intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the investments the Company expects to receive, the expansion of manufacturing capacity, the Company’s plans regarding its presence in the U.S., its capital expenditure guidance, business strategies, the Company’s capacity to meet future market demands and support preparedness for future public health emergencies, and results of operations. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future. Forward-looking statements involve inherent known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behavior of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors such as the Company’s ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, changes in the political, social and regulatory framework in which the Company operates or in economic or technological trends or conditions. For a description of the risks that could cause the Company’s future results to differ from those expressed in any such forward looking statements, refer to the risk factors discussed in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should therefore not place undue reliance on these statements, particularly not in connection with any contract or investment decision. Except as required by law, the company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the tables included in this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Management monitors and evaluates our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures, including Constant Currency Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Capital Employed, Net Cash, Free Cash Flow, and CAPEX. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve our ability to assess our financial condition. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.
