Carbios - Commercial revenues in 2020

Carbios's FY18 results were slightly in advance of our estimates and the company remains on track to generate commercial revenues in 2020. We have adjusted our forecasts following the results and our DCF valuation remains at €15/share. However, a key factor in determining Carbios’s short-term valuation will be the nature of the financing for the PET bio recycling demonstration plant, which has yet to be disclosed.

Carbios - Advancing towards commercialisation

H118 results were broadly in line with our expectations and Carbios retains sufficient cash to finance its business until H219. The company continues to make progress with its transformation from a research body to a commercial enterprise. We expect the first commercial revenues from Carbiolice in 2020. Our DCF indicates a valuation for Carbios of €15/share.

Carbios - Transition year and strengthened balance sheet

Carbios’s 2017 results were an important staging post on the journey from a pure research operation towards a market-ready business. The balance sheet has been strengthened and operations are fully funded into 2019. Announcements of partnership deals with other consumer brand owners, similar to that announced with L’Oréal, could act as a further share price catalyst. Our remodelled DCF provides an indicative valuation for Carbios of €15/share.

- H117 results and update

The reduction in Carbios’s operating losses in the first half of 2017 is positive. It was driven by revenue from Carbiolice for part of the period and the fall in external costs from the scheduled conclusion of the Thanaplast programme. The announced five-year partnership with L’Oréal shows confidence in Carbios’s technology. We have adjusted our DCF valuation range per share to €20-32 to reflect the latest capital markets activity.

Carbios, 19 juin 2019

Le 1er janvier 2019, Ian Hudson a remplacé Jean Falgoux à la présidence du Conseil d'administration. Le mandat d'administrateur de ce dernier est proposé au renouvellement cette année. Nous ne soutiendrons pas ce renouvellement en raison de l'insuffisant taux d'indépendance du Conseil (44%) (résolution 5). En revanche, nous soutenons la ratification de la cooptation de deux administrateurs (résolutions 6 et 7). Les autorisations d'augmentation du capital portent sur des montants trop élevés et peuvent être utilisées en période d'offre publique. Nous recommandons donc l'opposition aux résoluti...

Proxy Report - 14/06/2018

Carbios est une société présentant un conseil d'administration où les fonctions sont séparées et où la majorité des administrateurs sont libres de conflits d'intérêt, ce qui est positif. Nous regrettons cependant que le conseil comporte si peu de femmes et de membres étrangers, et la diversification des profils sera donc un enjeu à venir pour la société. Nous recommandons l'opposition pour l'ensemble des autorisations financières (résolutions 10 à 18 et 21 et 22) : les délégation de compétences pour augmenter le capital portent sur des montants trop importants et sont utilisables en période d...
