Rapala VMC is a company focused on sport fishing products. The sale of fishing equipment takes place through the company’s distribution network and includes several brands. The product range includes lures as well as related gear such as rods, reels, hooks, and fishing knives. The company operateCorporations globally, with its largest markets in Europe and North America. The company’s headquarters is located in Helsinki, Finland

A reverse January bull despite plenty of good news. Somehow, many shareholders have lost hope. The ice is holding now if you want to go ice fishing.

Yes, probably from next season onwards, clearly the majority of the impact on revenue and profit. It’s hard to say when that distribution started as the press release only states “fall 2025”. It has probably been planned for some time; according to the press release, integration has been “over the past several months”. The sale of that Canadian distribution center was probably more a solution born out of cash needs, as it was leased back into use after the sale. Most of that synergy arises precisely from Rapala distributing all Clam products to Canadian retailers. Rapala is a larger player, so Clam gains a wider distribution network, and on the other hand, Rapala itself can deliver to even the most remote locations more frequently and with fuller deliveries.

Could the weakness of the announcement be due to the fact that it doesn’t affect this year’s results? Products are ordered and stored. They are sold well in advance. It will probably be announced in connection with the annual review, as it will only affect next year. But good news. There are many synergy benefits. Could it have been planned for so long, since Rapala sold off its inventory from Canada..?

Great, and thank you for looking for positive signs. I myself am also of the opinion that we shouldn’t make classic Neste moves with this now. I believe in something better. Consumers might also perk up, at least in the Nordic countries, if peace is achieved in Europe. I believe that cyclical consumption and trade will benefit.

Positively, in the US, cold weather has arrived, bringing the ice fishing season earlier than last year. This is also clearly visible, for example, in Google Trends searches compared to the previous season.

As Rapala updates its strategy, we may see if my growth expectations are too conservative compared to the company’s goals. However, in my opinion, pursuing growth should not be a priority; instead, attention should be focused on profitability and strengthening the balance sheet. Rapala can certainly achieve growth if it wishes by expanding the Rapala brand into new product categories, increasing sales of third-party products, and expanding its own distribution. However, in my opinion, focusing attention on the most profitable markets and categories would be justified. Historically, the impact of strong growth on profitability does not seem particularly flattering, which, in my opinion, supports focusing on the quality of revenue.

In 3 years, revenue is forecast to grow by less than 8%.

<p>Result-wise Rapala's H1 report brought no joy and H2 will also remain very modest. In the longer term, earnings growth has clear steps to continue as the journey to reach the full potential of the Rapala brand and the rod &amp; reel category has only started. We cut our 2022 estimates in particular, but also made slight cuts to our estimates for the next few years, as the strategy has progressed in the background. Especially the longer-term expected return remains attractive in a relatively defensive share. Acquisition option also provides support for Rapala’s valuation.</p>
