First acquisition of 2024 strengthens the 3DS Solutions division; forecasts
and target price unchanged
As expected, CENIT AG is continuing the high level of acquisition activity
implemented since the 2022 financial year in the 2024 financial year. As
the company announced in the second calendar week of the still young year,
CCE b:digital GmbH & Co. KG (CCE for short) was acquired with effect from 1
January 2024. CCE offers consulting, implementation and software
development in the business areas of Digital Services, PLM Services and
Application Services. Similar to CENIT's '3DS Solutions' business segment,
CCE's offering is based on Dassault Systèmes solutions, with a particular
focus on the CATIA products and the 3DEXPERIENCE PLM platform. This shows a
high degree of congruence with the PLM business field of CENIT AG.
CENIT AG emphasises that CCE has special expertise in the migration and
introduction of Dassault standard software. For this purpose, concepts have
been developed that are specially tailored to medium-sized and smaller
customers. In addition, the acquisition of CCE will expand the local
presence in the Ostwestfalen Lippe region. Finally, company acquisitions
have proven to be an effective strategy for expanding the Group's workforce
against the backdrop of challenging personnel recruitment. The acquisition
of CCE will expand the CENIT team by 16 employees. In addition, CENIT's
position as one of Dassault Systèmes' most important Platinum Partners
worldwide will be further strengthened. This is already a declared goal of
CENIT AG.
No further details on the size of CCE or the purchase price are known. The
Federal Gazette only contains a balance sheet as of 31 December 2021, which
shows that the company is relatively small at this point in time. With
total assets of € 1.72 million, CCE had equity of € 0.19 million and cash
and cash equivalents of € 1.15 million. Based on this information, we
assume a purchase price in the low single-digit million range.
The CCE acquisition should be seen as a further step towards achieving the
medium-term goals of CENIT AG. The aim is to achieve sales of € 300 million
and an EBIT margin of 8-10% by the end of the 2025 financial year. As part
of this strategy, all five business divisions are expected to grow
organically and inorganically. In the 3DS Solutions division, sales are to
be increased from the current level of around € 100 million to € 150
million.
Due to what we consider to be the low impact on the CENIT Group's sales and
earnings, we are maintaining our estimates compared to our last research
study (see study dated 03 November 2023). We therefore confirm our price
target of € 20.90 and continue to rate the share as BUY.
