Summary
Investment thesis
- Strata netto w I półroczu 2026 (-5,7 mln zł wobec +20,7 mln zł rok wcześniej) wynika niemal wyłącznie z przesunięcia w czasie rozstrzygnięć przetargów publicznych, a nie utraty kontraktów — spółka podpisała w tym okresie i tuż po nim zamówienia publiczne o łącznej wartości bazowej przekraczającej 300 mln zł (z opcjami znacznie więcej), których realizacja przypadnie głównie na II półrocze.
- Bilans pozostaje bardzo mocny: gotówka netto (dług netto ok. -46,2 mln zł), wskaźnik płynności bieżącej 2,84x, brak naruszeń kowenantów — realna poduszka bezpieczeństwa na sfinansowanie zapasów zbudowanych pod kontrakty i akwizycje.
- Grupa przyspiesza ekspansję przez akwizycje — w I półroczu przejęła Zakłady Odzieżowe Tarnowskie Góry (53,7%) i Alvi-Polska (100%), a tuż po okresie zamknęła zakup 60% czeskiego producenta obuwia Prabos plus a.s. za 6,4 mln EUR, wchodząc w nowy segment produktowy (obuwie specjalistyczne).
- Operacyjny cash flow jest głęboko ujemny (-92,2 mln zł w H1) z powodu budowy zapasów (+61,6 mln zł) pod podpisane kontrakty — normalne w cyklu tej branży, ale wymagające potwierdzenia w postaci realnych dostaw i wpływów gotówkowych w II półroczu.
