Long-term demand for Accoya and Tricoya remains intact. The fourth reactor in Arnhem increased capacity to up to 80k m³, with estimated revenues of €195m by FY27. The Accoya plant in the US adds capacity of up to 43k m³, with estimated revenues of €105m by FY28 (this 60%/40% joint venture is equity accounted) and ample room to expand capacity in due course.

Accsys positively surprised by reporting further growth in Q125, despite the strong comparison base and weak construction markets (+3% y-o-y after a revenue decline of 16% y-o-y in FY24). The commercial start of the new Accoya plant in the US is an important milestone for the company as there are now two Accoya plants in the world. Management decided to discontinue the Tricoya project in Hull as it has not found a financial or strategic partner to finalise the construction of the plant. Supported by a good order book, Accsys is positive about its outlook and reiterated its target to reach 100,000m³ in volumes by FY27. Our DCF points to a value of €0.92 per share.
