Verpackungsproduzenten Airopack ist mehr als ein Blick Wert! - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

Das Unternehmen mit Sitz in Baar im Kanton Zug stellt mechanische und druckgesteuerte Spenderverpackungen für die Kosmetik-, Pharma- und Lebensmittelindustrie her.

Kaum Rendite vor Jahreswechsel

Das Unternehmen schreibt zwar seit Jahren Verluste, ist aber dennoch auf einem guten Weg. Vor dem Jahreswechsel lässt sich mit dem Titel sicherlich keine hohe Rendite mehr erzielen. Aber langfristig halte ich Airopack für ein äusserst attraktives Investment. Wer jetzt kauft und etwas Geduld mitbringt, könnte sich mit dem Verpackungshersteller also einen Rohdiamanten ins Depot holen.

Wen du mal eine Ergebnisreihe hättest, wäre ich dir dankbar.

After the opening of the new Waalwijk factory inDecember 2016, the first half of 2017 was marked by strong growth inproduction volumes of Airopack dispensers, meeting the highest qualitystandards in the industry. With the further scale-up of the organization andproduction capacity, the company is on track towards an annual productionand sales run rate of 200 million Airopack dispensers by the end of 2018. Inthe second half of 2017 the company expects production and sales volumes tocontinue to grow steadily. Airopack produces a safe, all-plastic pressurized dispenser powered purelyby air that is environmental and planet friendly. It was developed byAiropack Technology Group, which holds the relevant patents and is worldwidethe sole producer of this unique dispenser. Quint Kelders, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Our focus in the first halfof 2017 was on a controlled ramp-up of production volumes of Airopackdispensers that meet the highest quality standards in the industry. Weinvested in a further expansion of our sales, marketing and productionorganization, to be ready for the planned growth with our expanded team ofqualified employees. We made substantial progress in commercial discussionswith new customers and passed their qualification tests for both theAiropack dispenser and our state-of-the-art plant in Waalwijk. We arebuilding a solid and balanced sales pipeline to fill the scheduled increaseof installed production capacity to 200 million Airopack dispensers annuallyand are satisfied to have secured the funding for the upscaling." General In the first half of 2017, good progress was made with scaling up theorganization, production volumes and sales. While still in the middle of itsproduction ramp-up phase, Airopack produced a total of 18.1 million Airopackdispensers in the first half of 2017, reflecting an 89% volume increase overthe same period of 2016. Airopack is steadily increasing its monthlyproduction run-rates. Due to continued strong customer demand and interest, the company startedpreparations to increase its production capacity from the initial 80 millionto 100 million Airopack dispensers annually, requiring only minor additionalinvestments in moulds expected to be delivered in the last quarter of 2017.A subsequent doubling of installed production capacity is anticipatedthrough a modular expansion to 200 million Airopack dispensers annually overthe course of 2018. Customers that have launched new product lines using theAiropack dispensing technology include Procter & Gamble for Gillette Venusshave gel, Edgewell for Bulldog shave gel, Abercrombie & Fitch for roomspray, Morning Glory for shave gel, Saint Tropez Brands for sun care andPeritus Brands for clothing spray. Airosolutions, the Belgian in-house Airopack full-service filling operationand developer and manufacturer of other innovative packaging solutions forpersonal care customers, successfully launched a new product for Beiersdorf. At the end of June 2017, Airopack employed 163 people, compared to 93employees by the end of June 2016.

EUR 7.1 million of net sales were achieved by Airopack(ready-to-fill Airopack dispensers) and EUR 4.1 million came fromAirosolutions (ready-to-sell-Airopack dispensers and other packagingsolutions). Result development The effect of the scale-up of the organization and production capacity ofAiropack's Waalwijk plant is clearly visible in the results for the firsthalf of 2017. Although good progress has been made with the controlledramp-up of production volumes in the first half of 2017, the actualproduction volume of 18.1 million Airopack dispensers was stillsubstantially below the initial installed production capacity of 80 millionannually during this ramp-up phase, thereby limiting the sales growth. Atthe same time, the Airopack management, sales, marketing and quality controlorganization is already sized to support production and sales growth wellbeyond 80 million Airopack dispensers annually. The significant growth of production volume and sales in the first half of2017 was therefore not yet sufficient to cover the enlarged fixed operatingcosts, which grew by EUR 3.8 million. EBITDA was slightly better than thesame period last year, but still a negative EUR 10.4 million. This includesEUR 2.3 million of exceptional costs, mainly for consultancy servicesrelated to the development of production and quality systems. Increased amortization and depreciation (EUR 7.3 million), financing costs(EUR 4.2 million) and positive income taxes (EUR 2.4 million) resulted in anet loss of EUR 19.5 million in the first half of 2017 against an EUR 16.2million loss in the same period in 2016. The increase of amortization mainlyrelates to the goodwill paid with the acquisition of the 50% stake in theAirolux joint venture in May 2016 and the increase of depreciation mainlyrelates to investments in production equipment for the new facility inWaalwijk. Outlook In the first half of 2017 Airopack has made substantial progress withmultiple new global key customers in the personal and home care markets inboth the EU and the US by passing their stringent qualification tests forboth the Airopack dispenser and the Waalwijk facility. Consequently,concrete contract negotiations with these new customers, including timing ofmarket launches, volumes and prices, are now in an advanced stage. Due to the robust commercial pipeline the Board of Directors approved on 21June 2017 a plan to increase installed production capacity at the plant inWaalwijk from the initial 80 million Airopack dispensers annually to 200million. This plan will see a first-step increase in installed productioncapacity to 100 million Airopack dispensers annually by the end of 2017 andthe subsequent doubling of installed production capacity through a modularexpansion towards 200 million Airopack dispensers annually over the courseof 2018. As previously announced, the funding for this project has beensecured with a combination of a capital increase for EUR 12 million, anadditional EUR 10 million debt facility provided by funds managed byaffiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC as well as lease and factoringfacilities provided by Rabobank and KBC Bank respectively. Airopack expects production and sales volumes to continue to grow steadilyin the second half of 2017. This is expected to result in an ongoingpositive evolution of results through better coverage of the fixedproduction and organizational cost base and improved operational efficiency. Airopack expects that it will reach EBITDA break-even at a production andsales run rate of 100 million Airopack dispensers annually. Airopack's Board of Directors and Group Management remain confident that itsmedium-term goal of a run rate volume of over 700 million Airopackdispensers annually can be achieved, compared to a total aerosol market of15.48 billion annual units as of the end of 2015*.

"We confirm our earlier expressed expectation to reach the EBITDA break-even point during the second half of 2018."

Meiner Meinung nach ein interessantes Risiko-Ertrags-Verhältnis.
Der Fortschritt von Airopack ist beeindruckend.
