Overview

Exel Composites manufactures composites profiles for various demanding, mainly industrial end-use, applications. Exel’s customer base includes companies operating in industries such as wind energy, transportation and telecommunications. Exel Composites is one of the largest manufacturers of pultruded composites profiles globally and currently operates eight manufacturing plants on three continents.
Our positive view is based on good long-term composites demand outlook, coupled with the fact that Exel Composites' current manufacturing footprint could support annual revenue in the EUR 150m ballpark i.e. there's still plenty of room to improve delivery volumes. Exel's rather high fixed cost base translates to meaningful operating leverage, and thus higher revenues should lead to improving operating margins. The company is also progressing well with its cost savings program. Operating profit could further significantly improve if good execution continues. Recently the wind energy sector has provided great lift for volumes; other attractive applications include e.g. transportation industry profiles.

Exel Composites - Building up for volume growth

Exel decided on the terms of its rights offering, which should enable strategy implementation after a challenging period of missing volumes in the past 18 months or so.

Exel Composites - Positioning for volume recovery

Exel’s Q1 results remained quite weak, although q/q improvement continued. Exel has been finding efficiency gains and positioning itself for a recovery in volumes. We expect EBIT to climb back to black soon, but more significant gains may not arrive before H2.

Company update |

Exel Composites - Results still softer than expected

Exel’s Q1 results landed below estimates. Demand shows some signs of improvement, but H1’24 results will remain quite soft. Exel retains its previous guidance as H2 should be better. The company also plans to issue up to EUR 23m of new shares.

Exel Composites - A lot of room to improve

Exel’s Q4 figures remained very low as account activity is only now bottoming out after a challenging period due to weakening end-market demand and customer destocking.

Exel Composites - Figures remained weak

Exel’s Q4 results continued to be very low mostly across the board. Cash flow, however, remained on the positive side and Exel can expect improving results this year, although last year sets the comparison figures low.

Exel Composites - CMD notes

Exel’s CMD added details to its new strategy. Many important decisions are still to be worked out, but in our view the path for value creation is a lot clearer now.

Exel Composites - Earnings wait for higher orders

Exel has taken actions to recover earnings. In our view wind power orders should drive at least some growth next year, but order outlook uncertainty continues to limit upside.

Exel Composites - Cost measures continued

Exel’s Q3 headline figures were known beforehand. Volumes fell across the geographic regions and especially in North America where the business still lacked large wind power orders. Exel has continued to implement cost measures, and on the positive side working capital and inventory reductions helped produce a positive Q3 cash flow of EUR 1.2m.

Exel Composites - Still left waiting for higher volumes

Exel cut guidance as Q3 was very soft. Exel works out its new strategy in detail, to achieve at least some efficiency gains, yet volume remains the value driver for now.

Exel Composites - Looking to deliver more volumes

Exel’s results are yet to see demand pick up, and although valuation isn’t demanding uncertainty still limits upside.

Company news

Exel Composites Plc's strategic development projects have progressed in the first half of 2024 according to the announced plan.

Rights issue and new financing agreement strengthen balance sheet

Exel Composites Plc's rights issue, successfully completed in June, strengthens the company's financial position and enables accelerating the company's growth and transformative strategy. In the clearly oversubscribed rights issue, with subscriptions received for approximately 141 per cent of the offer shares, the company received gross proceeds of approximately EUR 21.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2024, Exel Composites agreed on a new financing agreement of EUR 52.4 million to refinance its existing bank loans. Backed by the new financing agreement in force since June and the funds raised in the rights issue, the company is swiftly advancing strategic initiatives it was preparing during the first half of the year, including, among others, the following measures:
  • Equipping of the new production facility in India accelerated
In July 2023, Exel announced a strategic decision to expand its manufacturing operations in India and to build a new facility in Goa, optimised for serving wind power industry customers in India and globally. The equipping of the manufacturing facility built by the joint venture between Exel Composites and Kineco Group is underway, production lines have been ordered and recruitment and training of personnel have begun. Production is due to start during 2024 as originally planned.
  • Strategic factory review in Belgium proceeds to the action phase
Exel's new strategy, published in October 2023, includes a plan to carry out a strategic review at three of the company's factories. The plan is based on Exel's strategic objective to improve the efficiency of its production and utilisation rates of its factory network, thereby improving profitability. The strategic review of the factory in Oudenaarde, Belgium, which started in January 2024, is progressing according to plan. Exel has evaluated the factory's role and different options in the new operating model, and the company will proceed to the action phase. Conclusions and anticipated measures will be communicated to the extent permitted by local legislation.
  • Sale of the production facility in UK progressing

As part of optimising its factory network, Exel shut down the pultrusion production at its Runcorn factory in the United Kingdom in autumn 2023. The company has received a purchase offer for the factory property and preparations are underway to complete the transaction. The transaction is expected to be completed during the second half of 2024.
