Analyst: Daniel Kukalj, CIIA, CEFA

Discipline over volume; guidance reiterated

Delticom's Q1 2026 trading update confirms what we view as the central

thesis on the stock: management has shifted decisively from a volume-led

growth model to a margin- and cash-disciplined operating model, and the

early evidence is that this approach is stabilising the bottom line even

against a softer top line (Group net result came in at EUR -1.2m, exactly in

line with the prior-year quarter, despite a 6.1% yoy revenue decline).

Operating EBITDA at EUR 1.1m is genuinely modest in absolute terms, the

relevant frame is full year; Q1 is structurally the smallest profit quarter

for Delticom and historically contributes less than 10% of full-year

operating EBITDA. Crucially, full-year guidance is reiterated (revenue EUR

480-520m; operating EBITDA EUR 19-24m), implying a sharp acceleration in

profitability over the remaining nine months as the seasonally larger

tyre-change quarters arrive. To hit the midpoint of guidance (EUR 21.5m),

Delticom needs to deliver ~EUR 20m across Q2-Q4. We see this in general as

achievable given (i) the seasonal Q2 summer-tyre catch-up, (ii) the lower

fixed-cost base post-DeltiLog deconsolidation, and (iii) a high-margin

winter-tyre Q3/Q4 that benefits from the structural growth of all-season

tyres in Delticom's mix. However, due to the difficult macroeconomic

environment we position our estimates at the lower end range. Applying our

ROE/COE valuation approach, we derive a lower fair value of 3.70 (3.90),

mainly driven by higher interest rates, nevertheless we confirm our BUY

rating.
