learnd UK & Ireland delivers strong operational progress in Q1
Yesterday, learnd SE published a Q1 trading update for its equity stake
(49.5%) in learnd UK & Ireland. In detail:
Adj. EBITDA rose by 63% yoy to EUR 2.9m. This increase reflected initiated
structural measures, including portfolio optimizations, efficiency gains,
pricing measures and cost discipline while revenue remained largely flat yoy
at EUR 16.8m. The implied adj. EBITDA margin improved by approx. 6.6pp to
17.3%, highlighting operational leverage, once growth accelerates again.
Operational profitability improvements to support learnd SE. Importantly,
the strong Q1 profitability implies that learnd UK & Ireland has already
achieved around 31% of our full-year FY26e adj. EBITDA forecast (eNuW: EUR
9.4m), indicating a robust start to the year and supporting confidence in
the sustainability of the ongoing restructuring measures. Progress on
scaling and operational improvements at learnd UK & Ireland are viewed as
vital to support learnd SE's valuation and future growth (eNuW: potential
additional equity stakes in related companies).
To recap, learnd SE finished FY25 with a strengthened balance sheet and a
leaner holding structure, following the sizeable MBO of 50.5% of learnd UK &
Ireland. It is ideally positioned to gradually pursue new growth
opportunities, such as additional equity stakes. Here, the company stands to
leverage its access to growth capital to drive value creation and to benefit
from its ability to recognize cutting-edge technology use cases, operational
building management expertise from its network in UK & Ireland.
learnd SE remains ideally positioned to turn FY26e into a fresh start. We
continue to expect gradual steps towards its transformation into an
incubator for companies operating in the fields of environmental services
and facility management. Further portfolio additions are to follow in the
mid-term.
We maintain our BUY rating with an unchanged PT of EUR 4.8, based on a
sum-of-the-parts approach, valuing the individual portfolio companies.
