2.75%

At the company's recent AGM, ALS Ltd provided first-half FY22 net profit guidance in line with Morgan Stanley's estimates and announced the acquisition of Nuvisan to increase its service offering across the pharmaceuticals supply chain in Europe.

ALS will purchase 49% of the company for EUR145m with an exclusive call option to purchase the remaining 51%.

The broker thinks the deal terms are sensible given recent Life Sciences Pharma transactions including ALS's acquisition of
Investiga at 11x EV/EBITDA in Mar-21 and SGS' acquisition of SYNLAB for 16x earnings (12x post-synergies) in 2020.

Morgan Stanley has upgraded earnings estimates by 4% for FY22, 3% for FY23, and 3% for FY24 to $249m, $267m and
$282m to reflect the impact of the Nuvisan acquisition.

Equal-weight rating is retained. Target price increases to $13.10 from $12.90. Industry view: In-line.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 29.65 cents and EPS of 51.00 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 32.04 cents and EPS of 55.00 cents.
