FY23 guidance in reach after solid Q3 figures; chg

Netfonds published solid Q3 figures with further sequential top and bottom
line growth and confirmed its FY23 guidance. In detail:

Gross sales came in at EUR 48.4m (21% yoy, 4% qoq), broadly in line with our
estimate of EUR 49.0m. The sequential improvement is mainly driven by the
strong growth of high margin AuM in the wealth and asset management (c. EUR
3bn AuM in Q3 vs eNuW: EUR 2.8bn after Q2), while overall AuA stagnated on
record levels of EUR 22.7bn. Importantly, AuA inflows compensated for weaker
stock market performance. Due to higher material expenses (relative to
sales), net sales of only EUR 8.5m (20% yoy, -11% qoq) came in below our
estimate of EUR 9.7m.

EBITDA remained rather stable on high levels of EUR 1.3m (vs EUR -0.2m in
Q2Ž22, -13% qoq), but significantly below our estimate of EUR 2.3m, solely
due to the weaker net sales. While personnel expenses should have been in
line with our estimates (eNuW: EUR 5.0m), other operating expenses should
have been below (EUR 2.2m vs eNuW: EUR 2.4m), despite further investments into
the finfire platform.

EBT of EUR 0.4m (vs EUR -0.6m in Q3Ž22) resulted from stable D&A of c. EUR 0.8m
financial result of EUR -0.1m.

On the back of the solid Q3 figures, the FY23 guidance of EUR 185-190m gross
sales and EUR 35-37m net sales looks well achievable given that 1) Q4 was
historically the strongest quarter of the year and 2) stock markets rose
close to all-time highs in November, which should fuel AuA/AuM. A guidance
beat is still in the cards.

Apart from that, the proprietary, 360° finfire platform, which enables
onboarded advisors to offer a wide range of investment, insurance,
financing and banking solutions to its customers via one holistic platform,
remains the companyŽs key mid- to long-term growth and scalability driver.
Netfonds leading market position in an oligopolistic market with high entry
barriers and long-term structural growth drivers (growing AuMŽs and number
of advisors, ongoing digitization of the financial sector, stricter
regulation) should further support future growth.

In light of the growth prospects, the promising mid-term guidance and the
undemanding valuation, we reiterate BUY with an unchanged PT of EUR 70.00,
based on DCF.
