- My first deep dive on here -
- Mo-BRUK $MBR -
Mobruk is the polish national leader in processing of industrial waste
Introduction
Mobruk was founded by Józef Mokrzycki in 1985 and is a family-led company with 5 facilites, a market share up to 25% and a market cap of 1.3b PLN/280m Eur
2020:
Revenue: 178,5 PLN million
EBITDA margin: 57,8%
net profit margin: 44,1%
Business
Mobruk operates in three areas of waste mangement
- incineration
- solidification and stabilisation
- RDF production
Depending on the type of waste they either burn, recycle, store or produce alternative fuel
Next to gaining revenue by selling their recycled waste they get paid for accepting the waste. As you can see the prices are rising and Mobruk benefits.
Dont waste waste
With all that they want to become an even bigger part oft he circular economy in poland which got a lot of room to grow in comparison.
Further than that the EU set up targets for reuse and recycling of municipal waste:
- 55% in 2025
- 60% in 2030
- 65% in 2035
- no recyclable waste allowed to store after 2030 in the EU
Enviromental time bombs
There are are over 800 locations of enviromental time bombs and illegal waste disposal in Poland like below. Mobruk is cleaning up these places in corporation with local authorities. The media is naming them 'lokal Chernobyl's'.
Acquisitions
they reviewed available acquisition options in H1 and are currently in talk with possible candidates so the first acquisition may be finalised this year. With that Mobruk will try diversify through more segments and geographically to northern parts of Poland.
Dividend policy
Something i don't like: they pay out 50% - 100% of net revenue. Definitely have to keep an eye on that especially when i think about planed acquisitions and debt. But for now thats not a red flag for me.
Shareholder structure
35% is owned by the family through 'Ginger Capital'
Rest is free float, but another 23,8% are owned by AgioFunds.
Valuation and first half 2021
no net debt
forward P/E around 13,7.
forward EV/EBITDA 9,6.
Which seems pretty fair for these growthrates and margins.
All in all i think Mobruk is an exciting company with a strong position in an important industry because Poland has to catch up in their waste management and obviously the rising focus on enviromental protection and sustainability.
I don’t own any $MBR shares at the moment but I probably will in the future. Thanks for reading.
