Hillenbrand (HI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hillenbrand Inc. demonstrated a positive financial performance with pro forma core Molding Technology Solutions (MTS) sales increasing by 3% year-over-year, surpassing expectations by $41 million attributed to strength in both the Advanced Process Solutions (APS) and MTS segments. The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) exceeded projections by $10 million due to higher segment-level EBITDA, despite increased corporate expenses. Additionally, Hillenbrand announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by Lone Star Funds for approximately $3.8 billion, valuing the company at $32.00 per share, which reflects a robust valuation of 9.4 times the estimated EV/EBITDA for 2025.
Bears say
Hillenbrand Inc. has experienced a pro forma core sales decline of 8% year-over-year, which is notably better than the anticipated decline of 13%-14%, yet still indicates underlying revenue weakness. Additionally, the company reported a 12% decrease in pro forma adjusted EBITDA, reflecting challenges within its Advanced Process Solutions and Molding Technology Solutions segments, despite a $10 million positive variance from model estimates. Significant concerns arise from the decline in total backlog, particularly within the Advanced Process Solutions segment, which decreased 10% year-over-year, suggesting potential long-term challenges in maintaining revenue momentum.
