The Panoply has announced the acquisition of Keep IT Simple (KITS), a provider of high value IT support and transformation services to public and private sector clients. KITS has a strong client base, including the Rural Payments Agency and DEFRA, and provides managed services notably in service integration and management. The current strength of The Panoply is in discovery, alpha and beta stages of projects and KITS will add the capability to run high value services thereby providing a complete end-toend offering. The combination with KITS will extend the average duration of contracts, with the enlarged group generating a higher proportion of revenues on a recurring basis, in addition to enabling The Panoply to bid for materially larger, multi-year projects. The group is paying £26m (30% cash, 70% shares) with no earnout but a £7m clawback if very demanding revenue targets are not met in 2022/23. With a March year end, there is limited impact on our fiscal 2021 estimate, but for FY22 we raise our PBT forecast by +48% to £8.4m, while DCe EPS is enhanced by +30% to 8.7p. We view the combination with KITS as a perfect strategic and operational fit, while the financial benefits are compelling. We raise our target price to 275p (was 235p) and retain our Buy recommendation.

Arcontech has reported a solid set of H1 21 results that provide a strong foundation for future growth. H1 revenue has increased +5% to £1.54m as 90% of Arcontech’s revenue is from recurring licence fees, and the October 2020 new tier one client win and tier one client contract upgrade provide £100k of additional annual recurring revenue, which offsets an existing client developing certain functionality in-house. The strength and flexibility of Arcontech’s solutions have enabled it to achieve these client wins despite a challenging H2 20 and H1 21 environment, where it has been difficult to finalise new sales due to limited customer contact and decisions being delayed due to remote working. In this environment, the two new additions to Arcontech’s salesforce since January 2020 have had a limited impacted on revenue, and the YoY opex impact leads to H1 adjusted EBIT declining 7% to £0.52m. However, Arcontech’s strengthened salesforce has been diligently establishing relationships with new potential customers, and as conditions return towards normal, we expect Arcontech will deliver new client wins that will benefit revised forecasts with a high incremental margin. Arcontech’s strong net cash of £5.0m continues to provide it with the flexibility to invest in accelerating its future growth through product development and sales, and we continue to expect it will grow its dividend by 10% at FY21 results. Although we reduce our forecasts to reflect the challenging sales environment, we look forward to Arcontech announcing new contract wins as it builds upon its strong foundations. On 23x 12m forward P/E with +5% NTM EPS growth and an EFCF yield of 4%, Arcontech trades at a discount to peers in financial information and the finnCap Next 50 on P/Es of 27-47x with NTM EPS growth of +6-15%, and EFCF yields of 2-4%.

ZOO Digital is continuing to benefit from a number of positive trends and industry shifts, such asthe launch of Disney’s “Disney+ Star” channels across multiple geographies, which UK-based investors will see available this week. This note contains commentary on Disney and Netflix – two of the largest market participants – as well as detail on the way the supplier base is evolving (further consolidation is under way). We also consider the likely “way out” for the industry as lockdowns ease globally and the significant backlog of content is released into production.

With FY20 results in line with the recent trading update, the focus is on the “growing number of new business opportunities in the pipeline”. The remote/hybrid working environment has increased the complexity of assessing human digital experience and made it even more important to monitor employee well-being and productivity. Initial deployments have started under the new Professional Services business model with two major new partners having recently come on stream (Oracle and a US Computer company). The real prize is the 4m seats identified by the partners for the new product set since August. On conservative assumptions we believe that’s a recurring annual TAM of over £100m. Needless to say this is why the company and stock continue to merit attention.

FY20 revenue and earnings are as flagged in the January trading update, with adj. EPS and DPS slightly ahead of our forecast. Quartix has performed very well in an extremely difficult year of lockdowns affecting its SME customers across all geographic regions. Revenue increased slightly YoY (as usual, Fleet growth offset by Insurance decline), while a deferred insurance revenue release and greater use of self-install devices improved margins and profit YoY. As usual, cash conversion was good and together with FY19 cash retained during COVID, net cash of £10.6m at YE means a bumper final dividend. We make no change to forecasts, expecting investment in customer acquisition in FY21 to lower margins but drive a return to long-term growth from FY22. We raise our TP to 500p.

Instem has made the first acquisition post the fundraising in July. It is paying up to £8.5m to acquire The Edge Software Consultancy, which supplies study management and data collection solutions into the drug discovery market, an area highly complementary to Instem’s existing offering. As such, we see a number of opportunities to drive revenue synergies by leveraging Instem’s global infrastructure and sales & marketing capabilities. We upgrade our FY21 and FY22 EPS forecasts by 8% and 15% respectively and expect further M&A activity to drive additional upgrades in due course. Instem is one of our Best Ideas for 2021 and we see the acquisition as adding to an already positive organic growth outlook.
