1.b. Last Insights on COLO

Coloplast A/S faces market challenges despite reporting 6% organic revenue growth in Q1 2025/26. The company's soft start in Ostomy Care, disruptions in key markets, and 4%-point negative currency impact on reported revenue in DKK, hinder growth. Additionally, executive leadership team changes, including the departure of the EVP of People & Culture, may pose uncertainty. With a reported revenue growth of 0%, the company's performance may be viewed as underwhelming. (Source: Coloplast A/S - Interim Financial Report, Q1 2025/26)

Publication Date: Feb -08

📋 Highlights
  • Organic Revenue & EBIT Growth:: 6% organic revenue growth and 3% EBIT growth in Q1 '25-'26, with ROIC at 15% before special items.
  • Kerecis Performance:: 10% organic growth but 1% EBIT margin in Q1, with full-year EBIT margin expected to rise to double digits from 1%.
  • Leadership Changes:: Dorthe Ronnau and Tommy Johns exiting, impacting organizational structure amid strategic shifts.
  • Guidance Reaffirmed:: 7% organic and EBIT growth guidance for FY '25-'26, with 16% ROIC target, despite inflation and manufacturing costs.
  • Product & Market Dynamics:: Urology growth at 8% driven by Men's Health, while Kerecis faces Medicare outpatient reimbursement challenges but expects recovery in inpatient segment.

Segment Performance

Interventional Urology delivered an 8% organic growth driven by the Men's Health business. Kerecis, on the other hand, reported 10% organic growth but with a significantly low EBIT margin of 1%. The Wound Care business was impacted by a recall in China, resulting in a low single-digit growth expected during the strategic period. Ostomy Care growth was also affected by the China headwind. The inpatient setting for Kerecis is expected to have a very healthy double-digit growth.

Guidance and Outlook

The company maintains its guidance of around 7% organic growth for the year and has lowered growth expectations for Kerecis to around 10%. Coloplast expects a significant EBIT margin uplift in Kerecis for the rest of the year, with a full-year EBIT margin around double digits. The company anticipates organic revenue growth and EBIT growth in constant currencies to be second-half weighted, following a soft start in Q1.

Valuation and Growth Expectations

With a P/E Ratio of 27.84 and an ROE of 25.2%, the market seems to have priced in a certain level of growth. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 7.4%. The company's ROIC stands at 10.89%, indicating efficient capital allocation. The Dividend Yield is 4.66%, making it an attractive income-generating stock.

Key Drivers and Risks

The key drivers for Kerecis include a price change and strong clinical data, with stabilization in the Medicare outpatient challenge expected within three months. Risks include driving growth below 10% guidance. In Urology, 8% organic growth was driven by a solid underlying momentum, with high single-digit growth expected for the rest of the year. The acquisition of Uromedica is expected to complement the portfolio in Men's Health with minimal financial impact.
