UMT United Mobility Technology - New blockchain smart data and loyalty solution deal

UMT has announced a new Letter of Intent with Berlin-based sports and casino gaming company, mybet Holding, to create an innovative blockchain-based smart data service and customer loyalty scheme for the betting company. The two companies expect this to make mybet the first European gaming company to offer blockchain-based payment functions. UMT has also agreed to invest €500,000 in the new customer loyalty programme, which will also support the use of UMT’s payment solution by mybet’s customers

UMT United Mobility Technology - New payments deal with B2B app start-up Evy

UMT has announced a new cooperation deal with Cologne-based B2B start-up Evy Solutions to provide payments services to its customer base. The Evy app is a digital assistant that enables private individuals and entrepreneurs to manage incoming mail, which is over an app-based platform. The deal with UMT will enable Evy to add app-based invoice payment to its range of services. Evy intends to roll out the service across Europe and expects transaction volumes in a three-digit million range in comin

UMT United Mobility Technology - Stepping out into B2C payments & blockchain

As a result of its work with leading retailers in the Payback loyalty scheme, UMT is Germany’s largest provider of white-label mPay services. Earlier this year the group took a decisive step into the B2C arena with the acquisition of prelado, an online German mobile phone top-up retailer. UMT plans to leverage its mPay know-how and retail contacts to drive an expansion of prelado’s product range as well as to extend prelado’s reach into other major EU countries. The group has also recently reach

Accounts transparency a positive step forward

UMT has shown substantial progress in hitting key milestones since our initiation on the stock in May of this year. The launch of white-label mobile payments for Germany’s largest loyalty scheme, Payback, commenced smoothly in June and six major German retail groups are now using UMT’s system to provide mobile payments services to their Payback customers. The recent publication of key consolidated earnings data for H116 shows 34% EPS uplift from the unconsolidated figures for the same period, wh

New partner plus Payback contract going well

UMT has announced a partnership agreement with Points4More, a Munich-based provider of loyalty platforms. The partnership will enable UMT to tender for contracts requiring payment and loyalty scheme capabilities with a highly advanced loyalty product to complement its strengths in mobile payment. Management also sees the potential for Points4More to boost its deal flow as it is tendering for contracts that require mobile payment technology and will bring UMT into these deals.

Let the Payback begin

UMT is at an exciting time in its development. Germany’s largest loyalty scheme, Payback, has announced it will launch its UMT-powered mPay service in June. This should give rise to new platform maintenance and commission streams, and potentially new data analytics earnings arising from data crossing UMT’s platform. Helped by the reputational boost from the Payback launch and a promising new client pipeline, we see good prospects for UMT to bring a number of new customers on board in 2016-17 and

Moving up a gear with Amex group contract

Courtesy of a deal with Amex subsidiary Payback, United Mobility Technology (UMT) is shortly to begin offering mobile payment services on a white-label basis across c 45% of Germany’s retail sector. Payback is by far Germany’s largest loyalty programme with 27.5 million users in Germany and 75 million worldwide. Of the former, seven million already use the Payback app and early adoption prospects should be boosted by plans for a heavily marketed launch. With PwC forecasting a 100%+ CAGR in the G

New Forecasts: breaking through

With FY22 in line and no changes to our existing FY23 forecasts, our focus is on the introduction of new forecasts for FY24 and FY25. We model Clareti recurring revenue growth of 17% and 18% resp. With Clareti having broken through to positive cash EBITDA for the first time in its history in FY22, we expect operating leverage to drive significant margin expansion over the next three years and beyond (Gresham guides to 40% of ARR dropping through to cash EBITDA). We model cash EBITDA margins of 1

ARR guidance lifted; IFRS15 revenue adjustment

FY'22 was a formative year, as Bango's compelling platform licensing revenue model achieved meaningful scale and the execution began on the transformational DoCoMo deal. Platform Licensing Exit ARR rose to $5.0m (FY'21: $1.1m), whilst a record number of new merchants landed in the year (44, inc. McAfee, HBO, Paramount and others). Valuation materially understates the synergistic potential available from the DoCoMo deal in our view, whilst also overlooking value in the rapidly growing licensing b

Altitude Group (ALT LN) - New major contracts and FY23 ahead of expectations

Altitude has announced multiple new contracts in its Adjacent Markets Programmes (AMP) that are expected to have a significant impact on Group revenue. Zeus adjusted EBITDA forecasts are upgraded 11.9% in FY24 and 24.2% in FY25 to reflect this. The Group has also guided that FY23 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be above expectations (£1.70m), so we upgrade by 8.8% to £1.85m. Today’s contract wins and confident outlook statement provide further positive momentum. Altitude shares trade below our up

Sopheon - Results: Introducing InnovationOps

FY results to December 2022 are in line with the January trading update indicating exciting prospects. The significant strategic shift to SaaS for all new customers will lead to greater visibility and quality of earnings, and forecasts are unchanged save for changes to US tax assumptions in FY24. $24.3m of ARR at FY22 (+17% vs FY21 ) represents 64% of FY23 revenue expectations; total visibility of FY23 revenue stands at $28.4m, equivalent to 75% of FY expectations (this time last year was $25.1m

Looking through the fog

Tribal has provided a useful NTU update, suggesting that the two parties are working towards winding the contract down, albeit negotiations are still ongoing. While this is clearly not an optimal outcome, it nevertheless reduces uncertainty surrounding the stock and so should enable investors to focus on the core business, which continues to perform strongly – delivering +10% u/l ARR growth (despite the NTU loss). With a strong and sticky core market position and an increasingly international pr

NTU update and change of reporting date

We learn today that Tribal has received notification that NTU has terminated its contract and reserved its rights to claim damages. Tribal meanwhile rejects this right to terminate and is considering its next steps. Furthermore - to accommodate this update, the company now expects to report results on 24th March. We therefore consider it is most appropriate to temporarily withdraw forecasts until we regain clarity over this situation and the most likely financial impact.

Blackbird plc - Finals

Blackbird plc has reported strong full-year results, with record revenue growth driven by its first ‘Powered by Blackbird’ (PBB) licencing deal with EVS, a €300m market-cap media group. EVS launched IPD-VIA Create in December 2022, its new web application developed in collaboration with Blackbird, which has already been deployed by a US broadcaster on a major global sporting event. This, and the continued roll-out by EVS, will translate into additional revenue for Blackbird through its revenue-s
