Profitability ahead

G3 Group (GGL) operates three businesses: document and data management in New Zealand and Australia, a unique UK-based tourist souvenir business and a business mail operation in NZ. The performance for the three months to 31 December 2016 was strong, with both gross and operating margins reported ahead of target. The company attributes its outperformance to strong revenues in the higher-margin document management business versus the less profitable business mail unit. As expected, inventory days showed an increase due to the previously announced one-off buy up of business mail products during Q1. These will continue to reduce as the product is sold off. Management expects to achieve all key operating metrics (KOMs) in FY17e.

Management says FY17 KOM targets to be met

G3 Group (GGL) operates three businesses: document and data management in NZ and Australia, a unique UK-based tourist souvenir business and a business mail operation in NZ. The audited FY16 financial results showed NPAT of NZ$2.14m, which was 12.2% ahead of FY15 and included a PBT contribution of NZ$0.04m from Formfile Records Management Group, acquired on 20 January 2016. It also included costs associated with IPO and the introduction of an employee share scheme, totalling NZ$0.227m and NZ$0.345m, respectively. The key operating milestones (KOMs) performance for Q117 is below expectations for FY17 due to the short-term impact of a postage price increase and seasonal softness in the UK market.

Strong growth in a G3 core home market of New Zealand post was one of the main drivers behind its strong performance. Furthermore, several bolt-on acquisitions continue to perform well, with the company announcing that it plans to continue looking for acquisition targets in its key markets.

Acquisition of Team Internet

CentralNic has announced the acquisition of Team Internet for a total consideration of $48m. The acquisition will be financed in part by a further €40m bond issue under identical terms to the €50m issue announced on 23 May 2019. Team Internet operates a ‘domain monetisation’ platform, allowing domain name owners to monetise dormant domains to generate recurring income to offset renewal fees and earn a profit. This provides a complimentary service to existing CNIC services: clients currently pay CentralNic subscription fees to register and renew domain names. Team Internet had revenues of $66.7m in the 12 months to June 2019, with EBITDA of $10.6m. We expect this transaction to have an immaterial impact to 2019E due to timing and be 43.8% accretive to 2020E earnings. Post completion, we estimate net debt:EBITDA will be 2.1x in 2020E falling to 1.6x in 2021E.

IQE - Continued impact from supply chain disruption

IQE’s reduced guidance for FY19 revenues of £136–142m (vs £140–160m previously) reflects primarily the greater than anticipated disruption to its major US wireless customers as a result of the US/China trade war. There is good evidence to support a recovery in the medium term: the qualification of products and tools in the Asian supply chain for both 3D sensing and wireless RF is encouraging, while exposure to 5G remains attractive. However, the timing of a recovery is difficult to gauge and with Q120 expected to be seasonally quiet we downgrade our FY19 and FY20 revenue estimates by 5.3% and 15% respectively, with FY19 EPS reduced from a 0.5p profit to a 0.8p loss and FY20 EPS reduced from 2.3p to 0.3p.

DCB for YouTube in the USA

Bango has announced the launch of Direct Carrier Billing (“DCB”) payment services for Google’s YouTube TV Service, with the initial launch via a “leading” but unnamed US Mobile Network Operator (“MNO”). With the ongoing growth in US Over The Top (“OTT) video services continuing to cannibalise the Cable TV operators, we believe DCB for YouTube TV is a strong offering in a large market. The release is light on detail as to the potential value to Bango, and we make no revisions to forecasts. Nevertheless, the launch represents a further win in an area of strategic focus for the group. It also confirms the integration of a major new merchant service into the Bango Platform.

Record H2 expected from Systems milestones

As noted in the October trading update, SRT’s big Systems project milestones will be booked in H2, leaving just the growing Transceivers revenue in H1. This business jumped 15% YoY and drove an overall 10% YoY growth in group revenue. Management is comfortable in delivering major milestones on the Philippines MDA deployment, which will see SRT achieve record H2 results and we therefore reiterate our FY forecasts and TP of 75p.

We remain selective; Buy Consumer Tech

We continue to take a selective stance on stocks within the small cap Technology space. The sector’s equity performance was lacklustre over 2019, rising 4% and keeping pace with the All-Share index (relative to multi-year periods of outperformance) as investors took a cautious stance on geopolitical and macro risk. We believe cautious sentiment is likely to dominate trade during the first half of 2020 and maintain our preference for consumeroriented players, consistent with our Arden Thematic Technology framework. Our top picks for 2020 are CDM, EVRH*, SUMO and VNET.

Acquisition of Leadscope

Instem has bolstered its Informatics offering with the bolt-on acquisition of US-based Leadscope for up to $4.6m. The deal looks highly complementary, adding a leading player in the field of computational toxicology, an area with significant structural growth potential and strong regulatory drivers. We upgrade our FY20 and FY21 EPS forecasts by 6.5% and see scope for material revenue synergies over time. Instem remains one of our best ideas for 2019 and we see the addition of Leadscope as adding to an already strong organic growth outlook.

Strong interims and exciting long term prospects

Interims reveal a particularly strong trading period for the group, with underlying organic sales growth accelerating to +20% c/c (previously mid-single digit), underpinned by both strong trading in the US (+c.50% u/l) and the UK (+11%). Additionally, Eckoh benefitted from a large perpetual Coral licence deal, bringing reported sales growth to +37%. In our view, these results speak to the strong proposition, opportunity and momentum Eckoh across its markets. We leave FY u/l forecasts unchanged but acknowledge they look more than achievable. Currently trading on a 5% FCF yield, rising to 6% in FY21E, we think Eckoh offers a unique investment opportunity.

Quarterly Research Outlook Autumn 2019

Following continued delays of a Brexit agreement, few sectors within the UK market have remained attractive to investors despite low valuations. One sector which has continued to outperform despite the political drama has been the UK video gaming sector (henceforth UK gaming), which we are fans of. We believe a combination of sector-leading growth, strong cash conversion and timely cyclical positioning support our positive view on the UK video gaming sector.

Acquisition in safety assessment

Instem has announced the acquisition, for up to $4.6m, of a US-based provider of software for safety assessments. Leadscope’s software provides computer models that predict toxicity of chemical compounds – the systems are so advanced that the FDA allows them to replace animal testing in certain limited situations. A strong fit with Instem’s existing safety assessment business and its KnowledgeScan offering, this deal appears a well-considered and useful extension to the group’s position.

CentralNic Group - Consolidating a growth market

CentralNic (CNIC) is executing on its strategy to build a global domain name and web services provider, acting as a consolidator in a fragmented market. Its key focus is expanding in emerging markets, where internet penetration is lower than in developed economies and the growth rates are higher. The company has spent £41.7m on acquisitions in FY16–18, and a further US$28.9m so far in FY19 (note the company’s reporting currency changed from pounds sterling to US dollars in FY19). Management is confident of ongoing organic revenue growth and highlights a strong pipeline of potential future M&A deals.

Prelims: consistency and opportunity

EBITDA of £10.5m (£10.4mE) was delivered from revenue of £49.2m (£46.7mE) with net cash of £24.1m, (as revealed in August), comfortably ahead of our £21.5m year-end forecast. Newsflow in the period included three acquisitions, the securing of a five year framework agreement for deployment of TRACS Enterprise with a major Train Operating Group, and the successful transition of the CEO role to Chris Barnes. The Group continues to deliver the proven mix of self-funded acquisitions and organic growth, demonstrating comfortable delivery of forecasts reiterated at interims, and a very strong balance sheet giving capacity to deliver much more of the same. With the new CEO able to deliver operational efficiencies to a Group already well versed in delivering successful acquisitions, we look forward to the next part of Tracsis journey. Target 775p reiterated.

Transformation to SaaS in line with expectations

In 2018/19, the organic recurring revenue increased by +10.8% thanks to higher software subscriptions (+29%) which outpaced the reduction in maintenance revenue (-12%) resulting from the migration of customers to software subscription. The transformation to a SaaS model also led to lower organic SSRS (-18%). Lastly, the organic operating margin was down to 23.7% of revenue (-5.1pt). These characteristics should continue in 2019/20.

Cenkos: Seeing Machines Ltd -- EC safety regulations for DMS adopted

The European Council announced on Friday 8 November that it has adopted a regulation on the general safety of motor vehicles and the protection of vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users. This follows an agreement with the European Parliament in March 2019 and is part of the "Europe on the Move" package, launched by the European Commission in May 2018. These new regulations are to help transition towards a mobility system which is safe, clean and automated. Of relevance to Seeing Machines is the Regulation for the adoption of safety features that include advanced driver distraction warning systems and driver drowsiness and attention warning systems. These regulations will apply from May-2022 to all cars, vans, trucks and buses (including SUVs) and amend several existing safety regulations for EU-type approval.

H1’19 results: Good user growth, £12m placing

CloudCall reported its H1’19 results this morning featuring robust revenue growth of 30%, driven by users and recurring revenues. The group has also announced a £12m offer (43% of mkt cap) at 100p, with net proceeds aimed at bolstering the balance sheet and leveraging growth opportunities. Pointedly management target £50m of sales by 2025. While it is difficult to find such magnitude and consistency of growth in the market at present given macro pressures, the magnitude of the placing and rate of investment required to sustain growth lead us to take pause. We place our recommendation under review pending a more substantial analysis of the group’s operating model.

IQE - Optimising Asian operations

IQE has acquired the third-party shareholdings in its CSDC joint venture in Singapore for a nominal fee. This gives it control of the operation, which is currently loss making, enabling it to restructure the business and focus it on emerging sales opportunities in Asia for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-based products. Short term, the deal has a negative impact on earnings. We reduce our FY19 and FY20 EPS estimates by 8% and 5%, respectively.
