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 third quarter of 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Third quarter revenue increased 14% to €245.3 million, over the same period last year
  • Revenue from high value solutions was approximately 30% of total revenue
  • Reported diluted earnings per share of €0.14 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.14

  • Committed backlog increased 21% to approximately €1.01 billion, over the same period last year
  • The Company is raising its full year 2022 guidance primarily related to favorable currency effects

Third quarter consolidated results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 increased 14% to €245.3 million (approximately 11% on a constant currency basis), compared to the same period last year, driven by growth in the Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) segment and favorable foreign currency translation. Revenue contributions from more accretive, high value solutions increased to 30% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 23% for the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2022, revenue related to Covid-19 decreased to approximately 13% of total revenue, compared to approximately 16% in the third quarter of 2021.

For the third quarter of 2022, gross profit margin increased 210 basis points to 31.6%, compared to the same period last year, driven by a higher mix of high value solutions in the BDS Segment, improved gross profit margin in the Engineering Segment and favorable currency translation. The increase was partially offset by a rise in inflationary costs, especially utilities and logistics. The Company has recovered the majority of these costs through price adjustments and expects additional recoveries in future periods.

Operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2022 increased to 19.4%, compared to 13.2% in the prior-year period which included a discretionary bonus for employees of approximately €6.7 million. The expansion in operating profit margin was driven mainly by increased gross profit, lower general and administrative expenses, and higher other income which included residual fees from a previously disclosed contract modification.

For the third quarter of 2022, net profit totaled €36.3 million, or €0.14 of diluted earnings per share, while adjusted net profit was €37.7 million or €0.14 of adjusted diluted earnings per share. For the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA totaled €65.8 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.8%.

Franco Moro, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our overall financial results in the third quarter of 2022, delivering double-digit revenue growth and an expanding EBITDA margin. While inflationary costs tempered gross profit margin, we are proactively implementing efforts to mitigate the impacts in the current global business environment. We remain confident in our long-term growth strategy driven by our customer’s increasing demands for our integrated high value solutions which promote higher quality, increased speed to market and reduced total cost of ownership. We are well positioned to continue to benefit from favorable secular tailwinds in our growing end markets."

Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions Segment (BDS)

For the third quarter of 2022, revenue (external customer sales) from the BDS segment grew 20% to €207.1 million (approximately 15% on a constant currency basis), driven by growth in core drug containment products.

Contributions from high value solutions increased 54% to €74.4 million and represented approximately 36% of segment revenue. Revenue from other containment and delivery solutions increased 7% to €132.7 million.

Year-over-year gross profit margin expansion was mainly driven by a greater mix of more accretive high value solutions and favorable currency translation, which helped offset inflation, and resulted in a gross profit margin* of 32.7% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 31.2% in the same period last year. For the third quarter of 2022, operating profit margin increased to 22.8%, compared to 18.1% in the same period last year, driven by higher gross profit, lower general and administrative costs, and an increase in other income.

Engineering Segment

For the third quarter of 2022, revenue (external customer sales) from the Engineering segment decreased by 9% to €38.2 million, compared to the same period last year, mostly due to the timing and progression of projects in certain business lines, and in line with Company expectations.

For the third quarter of 2022, gross profit margin* increased to 21.5%, compared to 15.4% for the third quarter of last year, driven by a higher mix of revenue from more accretive business lines and ongoing business optimization efforts. As a result, operating profit margin* improved to 14.0% driven by higher gross profit and lower general and administrative costs.

*Calculated including intersegment transactions

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, the Company had a positive net financial position of €49.6 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled €259.9 million. As expected, capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2022 increased to €71.1 million as the Company invests in its global expansion initiatives.

For the third quarter of 2022, net cash used for operating activities was €3.8 million and reflects increased working capital needs to fund growth initiatives and higher levels of inventory to mitigate supply chain risk in the current environment. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, free cash flow was negative €46.3 million, mostly due cash used in investing of €43.2 million.

New Order Intake and Backlog

For the third quarter of 2022, new order intake totaled €247 million, compared to €310 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was due to a significant decline in Covid-19 orders. Excluding new orders related to Covid-19, new order intake increased by approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the same period last year, demonstrating that the underlying demand trends remain strong.

The Company ended the third quarter with a committed backlog of approximately €1.01 billion, a 21% increase over the same period last year.

Full Year 2022 Guidance

The Company is raising its full year guidance primarily as a result of favorable currency translation. The updated guidance also considers the dynamic operating environment including the wind-down of Covid-19 revenue that is being backfilled by new work, the shift to high value solutions, and actions taken to accelerate efficiencies and implement cost management initiatives to help offset inflation. As a result, the Company now expects:

  • Revenue in the range of €961 million to €971 million
  • Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.52 to €0.54
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €254.5 million to €260.0 million

Executive Chairman, Franco Stevanato, concluded, "We believe our integrated end-to-end capabilities and robust portfolio of injectable products are ideally suited to match the demanding requirements of highly sensitive treatments such as GLP-1s. Thanks to the scientific and technological capabilities that we offer through our technology excellence centers, we are supporting our customers in the early-stage development of new molecules, and we are building a robust pipeline of promising opportunities. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities as we continue to drive shareholder value."

This press release may include forward-looking statements. The words "expects,” “are implementing,” “increasing,” “well positioned,” “continue,” “remain,” “growing,” “raising,” 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., 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 annual report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2022. Readers should therefore not place undue reliance on these statements, particularly not in connection with any contract or investment decision.

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.
