Baader Bank, Christine Reitsamer: "ANDRITZ - Hold, TP 44,50

2Q14 results much in line, noticeable profitability improvement qoq

Our conclusion
Results overall much in line with consensus expectations, EBITA margin better than expected by us: Order intake, sales and EBITA were much in line with consensus. We are somewhat negatively surprised by the order intake (5% below our expectation) but positively surprised by the EBITA margin (Baader (E) 5.5% vs. 5.9% reached in 2Q14 and 4.0% reached in 1Q14). The main reason for the positive margin surprise was the Pulp and Paper margin improvement to 5.8% vs. 5.0% expected. In terms of EPS, actual figures came in 4% ahead of our estimate and 5% ahead of consensus. The positive deviation to consensus was mainly driven by lower than expected amortization. 

Outlook remains the same: As with the 1Q14 figures, the company guides for slightly increasing sales in 2014 and a significant improvement of the net income. Project activity is expected to remain at current levels in 2H14. 

The CC will be at 10:45 a.m. CET.
