- 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 revenue increased 26% to €292.1 million, diluted EPS were €0.18, and adjusted diluted EPS were €0.19. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28%.
• Fiscal year 2022 revenue grew 17% to €983.7 million, diluted EPS were €0.54, and adjusted diluted EPS were €0.56. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.8%.
• Revenue from high value solutions was approximately 30% of total revenue for both the fourth quarter and the full year.
• Committed backlog increased 9% to approximately €957 million and, excluding Covid-19, increased 21%.
• The Company is establishing full year 2023 guidance of revenue in the range of €1.085 billion to €1.115 billion, adjusted diluted EPS between €0.58 and €0.62, and adjusted EBITDA in the range of €290.5 million to €302.5 million.

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:

• Revenue in the range of €1.085 billion to €1.115 billion,
• Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.58 to €0.62,
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €290.5 million to €302.5 million.

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."
