Cash collection remained strong and net cash comfortably beat forecasts up 23% to $9.4m (ACLe: $7.6m) and the final dividend increases 25% to 2.5 cents. P&L forecasts for FY21 and FY22 remain unchanged but we increase our cash forecasts and fair value per share to 95p from 63p, equivalent to an FY21 EV/EBITDA of 19.0x falling to 16.8x in FY22.

Spirent’s results last week showed good traction from the group’s strategic growth areas (Lifecycle Service Assurance and Application Security), which combined with effective cost control, resulted in strong earnings growth and excellent cash generation. The group remains heavily H2 weighted, but we believe it is well placed to deliver a long awaited return to top-line growth going forwards. With gross margins remaining strong and management maintaining a tight grip on costs, we expect the growth to result in continued margin expansion across our forecast period. We make significant upgrades to all forecast years and increase our target price to 139p. Buy.

In today’s trading update, BBB has announced that it expects FY20 revenue and EBITDA in line with our forecasts of c£27m and c£6m, respectively. This follows a transformational year for the company, in which it sold its UK and European satellite operations to Eutelsat, and it finishes FY20 with a simpler capital structure and net cash of c£7m (FY19 net debt of £14m). In September-October, Quickline also announced three tender wins, and from p9 we explain the value that Quickline’s investment in gigabit-capable networks is creating in depth. This reflects BBB’s very clear focus to deliver shareholder value, and we refresh our investment case to highlight the attractive opportunities for each of its three core assets: Australia can deliver organic revenue growth of +10-20% pa and generate OpFCF of over £3.5m pa; Quickline’s investment in gigabit-capable rural networks in the UK is creating an infrastructure asset that could generate over £10m of EBITDA pa in the long term; focused investment in the Nordic business can enhance the subscriber base and deliver a return to organic growth in FY22. This leads us to upgrade our FY21 revenue by 15% to +21% organic revenue growth (+13% excluding grants), upgrade our FY21 EBITDA by 9% to £7.3m, and introduce FY22 estimates for organic revenue growth of +13% (+10% excluding grants) and EBITDA of £9.2m. Our NTM EBITDA growth of +20% then compares with peers with +7-10%, and this makes BBB look undervalued on 10x 12-month forward EV/EBITDA with peers on 11-15x. We increase our target price to 170p or 12x FY22 EBITDA, and look forward to BBB’s FY results in March.
