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 2021.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Highlights (compared to the same period last year)
- Fourth quarter revenue increased 12.5% to €232.6 million, diluted EPS were €0.17 and adjusted diluted EPS were €0.13. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.3%,
- Full year revenue grew 27.5% to €843.9 million, diluted EPS were €0.53 and adjusted diluted EPS were €0.48. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 25.9%,
- Backlog increased to €880 million,
- Revenue from high value solutions increased to 28.5% and 24.6% of total revenue for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively,
- The Company established fiscal year 2022 guidance and expects revenue in the range of €935.0 million to €945.0 million, adjusted diluted earnings per share between €0.49 to €0.51 and adjusted EBITDA in the range of €248.0 million to €253.0 million.
Fourth quarter:
For the fourth quarter, revenue increased 12.5% to €232.6 million over last year driven by both segments and was better-than-expected due to strong growth in the Engineering segment where customers are investing in global expansion. The fourth quarter of 2020 included a €15.0 million benefit in the BDS segment related to timing of revenue recognition, but it had no effect on the full year 2020. Increases in revenue from high value solutions and Covid also contributed to year-over-year growth. For the fourth quarter, Covid represented approximately 14.3% of revenue and as expected, revenue contributions from more accretive high value solutions increased 62.9% over the prior year and accounted for approximately 28.5% of consolidated revenue in the quarter. The mix shift led to an improved gross profit margin of 31.4% and operating profit margin of 18.7%. Fourth quarter net profit increased to €44.6 million, or €0.17 of diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net profit totaled €33.0 million or adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.13 which increased 18.2% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.11 in the prior year.
Full year:
Fiscal year 2021 revenue grew 27.5% to €843.9 million driven by increases in both segments, an increasing mix of high value solutions and Covid. For the full year, Covid accounted for approximately 14.7% of revenue. Revenue contributions from high value solutions reached 24.6% of consolidated revenue, demonstrating the expected favorable long-term mix shift towards this premium product portfolio. For the full year, gross profit margin increased to 31.4% and operating profit margin was 19.2%, benefitting from the increase in high value solutions and operating efficiencies realized through the SG Steps lean manufacturing program. For fiscal year 2021, net profit was €134.3 million or €0.53 diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net profit was €120.5 million or €0.48 of adjusted diluted earnings per share which grew 54.8% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.31 for fiscal year 2020.
Franco Moro, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our successful financial and operational performance in fiscal year 2021, sets the foundation for durable double-digit, organic revenue growth. Within our primary packaging business, trends towards superior performance and higher quality products helped boost our revenue from high value solutions and we expect these trends will continue. We enter 2022 with a sharp focus on executing against our operational priorities of increasing capacity in Italy, expanding our global industrial footprint in the U.S. and China, investing in R&D, and growing our pipeline of integrated high value solutions.”
Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions Segment (BDS)
For the fourth quarter, BDS Segment revenue grew 9.3% to €185.9 million (third party sales) over the prior year which included a €15.0 million benefit from timing of revenue. For the full year, revenue increased 22.9% to €694.0 million over fiscal year 2020. Top-line growth was driven by sustained demand for high value solutions which accounted for approximately 35.7% and 29.9% of segment revenue in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.
The mix shift towards more accretive products led to expanded margins for the year. On a full year basis, gross profit margin increased 350 basis points to 33.1% and operating profit margin grew 330 basis points to 21.4%, over the prior year.
Engineering Segment
The segment continues to benefit from the ongoing capital deployment by customers to satisfy industry demand which resulted in better-than-expected results in the fourth quarter. Revenue increased by 27.2% to €46.7 million (third party sales) in the fourth quarter and 54.3% to €149.9 million for the full year compared to the same periods last year driven by growth across all business lines.
For the full year, gross profit margin was 19.3% and operating profit margin was 10.5%.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
The Company believes that it has adequate cash available to appropriately address its current liquidity needs. As of December 31, the Company had a positive net financial position of €189.8 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled €411.0 million. For the full year, capital expenditures were €122.1 million and primarily used for ongoing investments for our global industrial expansion.
For the full year net cash generated from operating activities was €133.3 million reflecting increased working capital needs to drive sustainable growth, and a positive free cash flow of €25.1 million for the full year.
Full Year 2022 Guidance
The Company is establishing 2022 guidance.
The Company expects:
- Revenue in the range of €935 million to €945 million;
- Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.49 to €0.51 (assuming weighted average shares outstanding of 264.7 million); and
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €248 million to €253 million.
Franco Stevanato, Executive Chairman, concluded, “2021 was a landmark year for Stevanato Group, underscored by the power of our integrated capabilities and value proposition. Our 2022 guidance affirms our strategic priorities of driving double-digit growth, expanding margins and, increasing the mix of high value solutions amid rising customer demand, as we aim to create and drive long-term shareholder value. We serve some of the fastest growing market segments and we are integrated into the drug production and delivery supply chain. We are positioned to benefit from favorable multi-year secular trends including pharmaceutical innovation, aging populations with chronic conditions, growth in biologics and biosimilars (which is currently driving demand for our EZ-Fill® platforms and other high value solutions), acceleration and expansion of vaccination programs, self-administration of medicines, and increasing quality standards and regulation.”
