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.

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 2020/21 financial year for Totally has been exceptional in that the Company has had to modify the way it provided its support services to the NHS and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) to accommodate the COVID-19 pandemic in ways that could not have been imagined a year earlier. That it has managed the significant changes to its delivery model both efficiently and successfully is a testament to the Board and staff given that the Group still managed to deliver a significant increase in EBITDA yoy. We have already seen early indications of how its interaction with the NHS is changing as the NHS moves away from traditional formal tendering for contracts to a preferred partnership model and as a valued and proven partner of the NHS we believe Totally is well placed to achieve continued growth as the NHS moves back to some semblance of normality.

Following on from the rafts of contract wins announced in 3Q and 4Q, the post YE update is naturally very positive. In fact, on the back of an excellent 2H performance in the face of the pandemic, the group expects to comfortably beat even our upgraded forecasts for YE March 2021, and we lift them again, together with our TP. D4t4 now enters FY22 with a record £10.6m of ARR (note mostly annually recurring in 4Q to give a 2H weighting), a strong pipeline of demand, new APAC opportunities and (after two years of development) it is about to launch a new line of products for the fraud prevention markets, adjacent to its traditional customer experience and compliance applications. The Board remains highly confident in the strategy; underlying business and position in its key markets with current revenue visibility, order book and pipeline of opportunities all looking good. With the business on such a firm footing, the long-serving CEO, Peter Kear, is taking this opportunity to look ahead and secure management succession as he plans retirement in 2022; we are pleased to note D4t4’s experienced US VP Bill Bruno has been selected to take control next year.

Cerillion has reported its strongest ever six month trading period for H1’FY21, exceeding our and management’s expectations. Sales were up 25% YoY, covering over half of our full year forecast. The H1 adjusted EBITDA of about £4.8m was up 77% YoY, representing an extremely strong margin of 37.5%. Total orders in the half year equalled full year orders in FY20. We leave our sales forecast unchanged, but have raised our adjusted EBITDA forecast for FY21 by 6.5%. We have also raised our target price from 500p to 565p. With a strong order backlog and a robust pipeline we expect Cerillion to comfortably meet our full year forecasts, while building good visibility into FY22.

The UK market showed a continued recovery in the first quarter albeit the indices are still well short of their all-time peaks, unlike many of their international peers. The FTSE 100 has risen by 1,186 points (21.4%) since the end of October and the FTSE 250 by 4,304 points (25.0%). The comparable performance since the start of the year is less spectacular- the FTSE 100 has risen by 253 points (3.9%) and the FTSE 250 has risen by 1,070 points (5.0%). The factors behind the sustained rally are familiar. The belief that the roll-out of the vaccine and some relaxation of lockdown limitations will lead to a significant economic recovery, compared to the collapse seen in the first half of 2020, due to lockdowns. Indeed, the recent economic picture is becoming more optimistic than previous expectations. According to the ONS, the economy grew a little more than initially estimated in Q4 last year. This means GDP for 2020 as a whole contracted by 9.8%, revised up marginally but still the worst contraction on record. Markets, in general, have focused upon the potential scope and extent of the recovery. The sectors and stocks that have outperformed have been seen as ‘recovery’ plays with a rotation from stocks seen as ‘lockdown’ winners into those set to benefit from the ‘unlocking of society’ and/or exposed to the consumer. We expect 2021 will continue to be a “stock-picker’s” market. The sharp increase in the household savings ratio in Q4 highlights the scope for a recovery driven by expenditure. As further lockdown limitations are lifted, evidence of this growth will help to underpin the more optimistic outlook for Q2 and beyond.

Positive Q1 trading update from Audioboom, one of the largest independent global podcasting companies, with record quarterly revenue and the important milestone of a maiden quarterly adj. EBITDA profit. BOOM continues to outpace the global podcasting market, itself the fastest growing digital audio market, and there was strong KPI performance (global downloads, brand count and eCPM). The company is pursuing its content focused expansion strategy with the launch of additional Audioboom Originals Network (AON) podcasts and new content partnerships and increasing its sales reach. The traditional seasonal Q1 drop off did not materialise and BOOM had signed advertising bookings, equivalent to >90% of our existing FY21 revenue forecasts, by quarter end. As a result, management expects to comfortably exceed these forecasts and we upgrade FY21 and introduce FY22 forecasts. We also increase our fair value per share to 850p (from 500p), equivalent to 4.9x FY21 EV/revenue, and 4.0x FY22.

TruFin’s FY20 results and current trading demonstrate resilient growth and strong momentum into 2021. Having upgraded our numbers twice during the year, gross revenues of £14.8m (FY19: £7.3m) and loss before tax of £8.4m (FY19: £9.3m) were in line with our upgraded expectations. All businesses are making exciting progress with 1Q21 revenues expected to be no less than £2.5m (up >20% YoY). Given the optimistic prospects management have suspended the process of exploring options for Oxygen and Vertus. We believe TruFin has made significant strides over the last 12 months, increasing our confidence that the group will turn profitable by FY22 without the need for additional equity. As a result, while we leave our forecasts unchanged, having materially upgraded in January 2021, we increase our TP to 80.0p (from 63.6p) but maintain our HOLD rating.
