Focus on profitability is paying off
In the first half of 2026, Delticom demonstrated that its consistent focus
on profitability is paying off and is improving across the board, the gross
margin has risen to 24.9%, EBIT has turned positive, and Q2 2026 was
particularly strong, with EBIT up 330% yoy and EBITDA up 19% yoy. At the
same time, the company achieved a cash flow turnaround: operating cash flow
jumped from EUR -4.6m to EUR +4.9m. The balance sheet also became more
solid, with an equity ratio of 23.7%, while efficiency measures, automation,
and the use of AI are structurally reducing the cost base. European
consumers remained reluctant to spend in the second quarter as well, thus
TTM sales fell by EUR 45m to EUR 461m and were therefore 8.9% (Q1 2026 TTM
figure -2.7% yoy) lower than TTM sales in the same period of the previous
year. Q2 2026 Group EBITDA was higher yoy at EUR 4.6m (Q2 2025: EUR 3.8m),
resulting in a TTM EBITDA of EUR 20.2m (13.4% higher than TTM EBITDA in the
same period last year). If you look at the TTM figures at sales and EBITDA
level, the company's 2026 forecast (Sales EUR 480-520m; operating EBITDA EUR
19-24m; Quirin estimates: EUR 484m and EUR 20.0m, respectively) can be
considered realistic. The winter season as a value driver: The fourth
quarter, which traditionally features strong margins, is still ahead, the
replacement cycles for recently acquired new customers are expected to bring
them back as repeat buyers. Applying our ROE/COE valuation approach, we
derive a lower fair value of 3.60 (3.70), mainly driven by higher interest
rates, we confirm our BUY rating.
