Redeye provides updated estimates and valuation following Physitrack’s Q2 report. As anticipated, the quarter was softer, reflecting the impact of the strategic shift away from one-time upfront revenue, which dampened growth. Additionally, the cost base remains front-loaded in preparation for Champion Health’s upcoming market expansion. However, the launch is expected to drive growth in the year's second half. Our new fair value range is SEK9-72 (SEK9-75) with a Base case of SEK30 (35).

Q2 2024: Largely in line with expectations

Physitrack reported a y/y organic growth of 5%, resulting in sales of EUR4.0m, which is 3pp below our estimate. Further, sales declined by 4% on a q/q basis. ARR grew by 13% y/y and amounted to EUR13.0m, representing a flat q/q growth and 2% above our estimate. Adjusted EBITDA reached cEUR0.9m in the quarter, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 23% (26%), 2pp above our estimate. CAPEX amounted to cEUR0.9m, and adjusted EBITDA-CAPEX amounted to cEUR0.0m, which is 2pp above our estimate.

Short-term challenges, but stronger H2 anticipated

The softer Q2 topline performance primarily stems from the strategic shift away from one-time upfront revenue, which previously made up a significant portion of the Wellness business and occasionally accounted for up to 20% of Lifecare revenue. In addition, the localisation of Champion Health, especially in Sweden, has taken longer than expected, leading to a front-loaded cost base. However, CEO Henrik Molin remains optimistic, stating, “Despite the short-term challenges, I am confident that we will see a positive turnaround in the second half of 2024. We anticipate ending the year with positive cash flow and a return to margin expansion.”

New base case: SEK30 (35)

Following Physitrack’s Q2 2024 report, we have trimmed the 2024e revenue growth forecast by 6pp and lowered the adjusted EBITDA margin by 3pp for the same period. These estimate revisions, along with the impact of a weaker EUR/SEK, are reflected in our updated fair value range of SEK9-SEK72 (SEK9-75), with a new base case of SEK 30 (35).
