HKFoods operates in the food industry. The group includes several subsidiaries with business activities in the sale, marketing and production of meat products from pork, beef and poultry. The group operates the entire value chain, from slaughtering, cutting to processing and resale of the raw materials. HKFoods has the largest operations in the Nordic market. The head office is located in Turku.

Kaisa and Pauli have published a new company report on HKFoods following the Q1 results  HKFoods’ streak of earnings improvements continued in Q1. Operationally, the result was largely in line with our expectations, as strong momentum in retail and food service supported revenue growth, and efficiency measures compensated for increased costs. As expected, the company reiterated its guidance for the current year, and we kept our forecasts practically unchanged. Based on our forecasts assuming moderate earnings growth, the stock’s valuation (2026e: adj. EV/EBIT 9x) is neutral, and the expected return on a one-year horizon remains dull in our books. Consequently, we reiterate our reduce recommendation and target price of EUR 1.70.                   Inderes              HKFoods Q1'26: Tulosparannusputki sai jatkoa - Inderes    HKFoodsin tulosparannusputki sai jatkoa Q1:llä, mutta kustannuspaineet ja hinnoittelun viiveet pitävät kuluvan vuoden tulosparannuksen maltillisena.

Kaisa interviewed HKFoods’ CEO Juha Ruohola regarding Q1    Topics: 00:00 Introduction  00:13 Return to growth path  00:59 Efficiency measures are working  02:24 Development of the sales mix  03:12 Changes in demand  04:16 Beef prices and availability  05:54 Cost pressures and pricing cycles  08:00 Drivers for achieving guidance

Here are Kaisa’s quick comments on this morning’s result.  HKFoods published its Q1 results this morning, which slightly exceeded our expectations regarding both revenue and earnings. Good momentum in the retail and food service channels supported revenue, and the company’s efficiency measures successfully offset increased costs. As expected, the company reiterated its guidance pointing towards an earnings improvement for the current year. Overall, we consider the report relatively neutral, especially considering the rising costs. HKFoods’ briefing, held at 10:00 AM, can be followed here.                   Inderes – 6 May 26              HKFoods Q1’26 -pikakommentti: Tulos ylitti lievästi odotuksemme - Inderes    Vähittäiskaupan ja food servicen hyvä vire tuki liikevaihtoa, ja yhtiön tehostamistoimet kompensoivat onnistuneesti kohonneita kustannuksia.

Kaisa and Pauli have prepared a pre-earnings report on HKFoods :), as the company will publish its Q1 report on Wednesday, May 6.  We expect revenue to have turned to growth and adjusted operating profit to have improved from the comparison period, supported by operational efficiency and a better sales mix. However, we have slightly lowered our earnings forecasts for the current year due to cost pressures and typical delays in pricing. Based on our forecasts assuming moderate earnings growth, the stock’s valuation (2026e adj. EV/EBIT: 9x) is neutral, and the expected return on a one-year horizon remains sluggish in our view. Consequently, we are lowering our recommendation to Reduce (prev. Accumulate) and our target price to EUR 1.70 (prev. EUR 2.00), reflecting the forecast changes.                   Inderes              HKFoods Q1'26 -ennakko: Odotuksissa maltillista tuloskasvua - Inderes    Odotamme liikevaihdon kääntyneen kasvuun ja oikaistun liiketuloksen parantuneen vertailukaudesta operatiivisen tehokkuuden ja paremman myyntijakauman tukemana.

That bottom-up simulation is one option, and you’ve arrived at the same EPS of 0.2 as in OP’s analysis. OP, however, has assumed an improvement in operating profit to a level of 40m, and taxes are rising to 5m (was 4m), so if there were an additional tax benefit of 2-3m on top of the increase in operating profit, the EPS would rise even more. The biggest question mark is the development of margin levels—is there still a chance to improve, and what levels can the company defend in the future now that the major turnaround has been completed? Monitoring the cash position is a good point; I personally believe the company will pay off the 90m bond this year with some combination of a new bond/bank loan and possibly use cash to reduce the debt. Debt amount maybe -15m on an annual basis? And the next cash accumulation for the redemption of the hybrid loan. The dividend and potential extra dividend are approx. 13.5m – whether that is too much relative to cash and debt, each investor should decide for themselves. And regarding the valuation of such a low-growth defensive company. P/E or EV/EBIT are decent metrics for what the company’s maximum value can be at any given time. You can crunch numbers endlessly, but the current share price of 1.82 and this year’s EPS of 0.2 do not include any growth assumption (PVGO); it is even negative. A DCF model can easily be made to show a value of 3 EUR if you assume that margin levels hold. The DCF currently results in a value of 2 EUR only if you dial down the residual margin level significantly. Not very useful to run those numbers for a company like this. In my opinion, the dividend yield % represents a floor for the company’s valuation if the market believes that the dividend level is permanent and perhaps slowly but surely growing. Thus, the floor could be 5% in a “normal situation”, 6% if uncertainty increases, and 4% or below if performance is good for several years in a row and confidence is thus high.

The current year could also be evaluated by taking the 2025 operating profit as a starting level and seeing what could happen in the income statement in 2026. Of course, it’s not certain that the same absolute operating profit will be achieved in 2026, but the future always involves more or less uncertainty. 0.20 euros / share means a net profit of about 18 million euros. The 2025 profit before taxes is 18.7 million, and among the costs following that in 2025, a larger item was the write-down of discontinued operations, which I understand should no longer occur at all. Tax expenses in 2025 were 4.5 million. Regarding 2026, not much is known about taxes other than my own estimate that there will be a credit of the 2.92 million euros I calculated earlier (assuming HK can fully utilize previous losses), but the final amount of tax cannot, of course, be known yet, as the tax credit coming through losses is then deducted from the accrued taxes. So, if the same operating result were achieved in 2026 as in 2025, and financing costs were 2.4 million lower through the renewed hybrid, the taxable income would be 21.1 million. From that, only taxes would then be deducted. Viewed this way, an earnings per share of 0.20 could already be achieved in 2026 if taxes are 3 million or less. But this is, of course, based on assumptions that the business otherwise performs at least as well as in 2025, and then financing costs decrease by those 2.4 million. Regarding financing, I am following the cash position with interest. If the aim is to systematically accumulate it, my interpretation leans heavily toward the idea that they aim to get rid of that 90 million bond to as large an extent as possible with the cash accumulated before redemption or the end of the term. The reality regarding the cash position, however, is likely that it cannot be accumulated every quarter, as I understand that goods must be produced for inventory for the seasons.

A 30c EPS for HK is perhaps a few years away, not now, but by then the track record will either have been established or it won’t. By then, the amount of debt will have decreased; that is also the company’s goal. The company will not distribute the entire profit; instead, a portion of it will be used for debt repayment—this is included in both the forecasts made for the company and in the company’s strategy. Earnings fluctuate cyclically? Here I completely disagree; HK is a defensive company that has now improved its earnings for 12 (?) consecutive quarters in Europe’s worst operating environment, namely the Finnish market, in a country with record unemployment. Of course, the national economy could be even worse, but HK is still a defensive company. Margins are thin and that is reflected in the valuation; P/S is around 0.16. Due to its non-cyclicality and defensive nature, a 5% dividend yield could be quite a relevant valuation. Atria is currently at 4.2%, and for the European industry leader Cranswick, the dividend yield is 2% and the P/E is 20. Its operating profit margin is about 7%. The share price could well stay around two euros in the short term (<1 yr); there are so many different factors involved besides the company’s own performance that it is pointless to predict it. Over a timeframe of a few years, the company has the potential to become a defensive dividend machine.
