Stevanato Group S.p.A. (NYSE: STVN), a leading global provider of drug containment, drug delivery, and diagnostic solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024.
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Highlights (comparisons to prior-year period)
- Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 3% to €330.6 million, and high-value solutions represented 40% of total revenue, in line with Company expectations.
- For the fourth quarter, diluted earnings per share were €0.18, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.19.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 50 basis points to 27.5% for the fourth quarter.
- For fiscal year 2024, revenue increased 2% to €1,104 million, and high-value solutions represented 38% of total revenue.
- For fiscal year 2024, diluted earnings per share were €0.43, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.48.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2024 was 23.5%.
- The Company is establishing fiscal year 2025 guidance and expects revenue in the range of €1,160 million to €1,190 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of €293.0 million to €306.3 million, and adjusted diluted EPS between €0.51 and €0.55.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
For the fourth quarter of 2024, revenue increased 3% (3% on a constant currency basis) compared with the same period last year, to €330.6 million, driven by a 7% increase in the Company's Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment, which offset the expected 16% decline in its Engineering Segment.
Revenue from high-value solutions increased to a record €131 million and represented 40% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 37% for the same period last year, driven primarily by increased customer demand for high-performance syringes. As expected, lower revenue from EZ-fill vials unfavorably impacted the mix within high-value solutions for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased by 210 basis points to 29.7%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the effects of vial destocking, and lower gross profit from the Engineering Segment. This was partially offset by a strong quarter in high-value solutions and year-over-year improvements in the Company's Fishers and Latina manufacturing facilities.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, operating profit margin increased 20 basis points to 20.2%, due to cost management initiatives. Adjusted operating profit margin increased 70 basis points to 21.5%
Full Year 2024 Results
Revenue for the full year increased 2% (2% on a constant currency basis) to €1,104 million, compared with the same period last year, driven by 6% growth in the BDS Segment, which was offset by a 17% decline from the Engineering Segment. Revenue from high-value solutions increased 15% to €422.3 million for fiscal year 2024, and represented 38% of total Company revenue compared with 34% last year.
As expected, gross profit margin for fiscal 2024 decreased to 27.4%, compared with 31.3% in 2023, mainly due to (i) lower bulk and EZ-fill vial volumes related to vial destocking, (ii) lower gross profit from the Engineering Segment, and (iii) short-term inefficiencies tied to the start-up of the Company's new manufacturing facilities. As a result, operating profit margin was 14.6% and adjusted operating profit was 16.2% for fiscal 2024.
Franco Stevanato, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We finished the year with positive fourth quarter results, which were in line with our expectations. The increase in high-value solutions was driven by strong customer demand for high-performance syringes. We believe our growth investments are aligned to satisfy market needs to capitalize on the growing patient demand for biologics such as GLP1s and monoclonal antibodies. In 2024, revenue from biologics increased to 34% of BDS Segment revenue, compared with 30% in the same period last year. We continue to make meaningful progress on our Engineering optimization plan and are on track to complete the majority of the previously delayed projects by mid-year 2025."
Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions Segment (BDS)
Revenue grew 7% (8% on a constant currency basis) to €279.4 million for the fourth quarter, and increased 6% (7% on a constant currency basis) to €933.7 million for fiscal 2024, compared with the same periods last year, driven primarily by growth in high-value syringes, which was partially offset by the expected revenue declines from bulk and EZ-fill vials. The declines were more pronounced in EZ-fill vials.
Revenue from high-value solutions increased to 47% and 45% of Segment revenue in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, gross profit margin decreased to 31.1%, mostly due to the expected temporary effects from vial destocking, which was partially offset by a strong quarter in high-value solutions and improvements in Fishers and Latina as the Company continues to scale its manufacturing operations. For fiscal year 2024, gross profit margin decreased to 28.7% driven by: (i) vial destocking, and (ii) short term inefficiencies tied to the start-up phase of the Company's new manufacturing facilities.
Engineering Segment
Revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased 16% to €51.2 million for the fourth quarter, and 17% to €170.3 million for fiscal year 2024, compared with the same periods last year.
The Company remains focused on executing its business optimization plan and expects to complete all the previously delayed projects in 2025. The plan is designed to address current challenges, improve the overall health of the business and return the business to profitable growth.
As expected, gross profit margin decreased to 18.6% and 15.7% for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €98.3 million and net debt of €335.0 million. The Company believes that it has available liquidity to fund its strategic priorities over the next twelve months through a combination of cash on hand, available credit, cash generated from operations, and the ability to access additional financing.
Capital expenditures totaled €80.0 million and €286.6 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024, respectively, as the Company continues to ramp-up capacity in response to customer demand for high-value solutions in Fishers, Indiana and Latina, Italy.
For fiscal 2024, cash flow from operating activities was €155.8 million. For the full year 2024, cash flow used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets totaled €313.6 million, driven primarily by capital expenditures supporting strategic initiatives. The combination of increased cash flow from operations and lower capex helped drive a significant year-over-year improvement in free cash flow. As result, negative free cash flow improved to €148.5 million for fiscal 2024, compared with negative free cash flow of €333.9 million for fiscal 2023.
2025 Guidance
The Company is introducing full year 2025 guidance and expects:
- Revenue in the range of €1,160 million to €1,190 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €293.0 million to €306.3 million; and
- Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.51 to €0.55.
Franco Stevanato concluded, "Looking to 2025, we remain focused on executing our key priorities and achieving our long-term objectives. The fundamentals of our business are strong, as we operate in growing end markets with favorable secular tailwinds. We continue to deliver organic growth driven by solid demand for high value solutions, and we expect to increasingly benefit from our ongoing capacity expansion projects as they continue to scale and mature. We enjoy an enviable market position and our unique value proposition makes us a partner of choice for customers. Above all, we are committed to putting the business on the right path to return to double-digit growth, expand margins and build long-term shareholder value."
