We were bullish about the ongoing effects of strategic/operational initiatives at G4M, seeing forecast upside risk. It has not disappointed. Q3 sales and margin outperformance drive a 30% upgrade, and a shift into net cash. Extensive planning and systems/delivery changes have helped it after Brexit too, with trading stronger than expected so far in Jan. Valuation looks undemanding given upgrade momentum and the discount to lower margin peers.

G4M has reported a substantial uplift in profitability, notably EBITDA margin >11% from <3%. While conditions in Q1 contributed through abnormally rich margin and marketing efficiency, results underline what G4M is capable of on higher volumes. We prudently upgrade by another 15% but note that it is well prepared for Brexit, has a continuing focus on higher margin products, is taking market share through digital innovation, and has ongoing software development at the core of its growth strategy. Valuation is extremely undemanding.

N Brown is taking crucial steps in its transition to being a pure-play online retailer (currently 77% of sales) and to strengthen its leading position in the under-serviced market for fashionable plus-size apparel. While strategic updates may be on hold until a new CEO is appointed, the company closed the loss-making portfolio of high-street stores in H119 and further brand consolidation seems inevitable. The shares trade on a low FY19e P/E of 5.5x and yield 7.2%.

The final results revealed adjusted PBT up 99% year-on-year, which was 10% better than forecast despite four upgrades during the financial year. This strong performance reflects the financial benefits that have accrued following the shift in the business model to online only, as well as management’s strategic decision to significantly increase marketing spend. A second special dividend for the 2020 financial year has also been announced, reflecting the strong cash flow characteristics of the business model. Our 2021 profit forecast implies continuing momentum and a year-on-year increase in PBT of 86%. We raise our target price to 1050p.

The global online gaming market generated c £40bn of gross gaming revenues (GGR) in 2018 and newly regulating markets (the US) are expected to contribute to 7% CAGR to 2023 (according to H2 Gambling Capital (H2GC)). However, while regulated markets have provided significant opportunities for operators to date, government intervention remains a constant threat and legislation is tightening. Some mature markets (notably the UK) have been raising taxes and implementing regulatory burdens, which increases the cost of business. In our view, success will depend on a combination of scale, diversification, proprietary technology and a strong balance sheet. Many of the 12 operators in this report should benefit from these dynamics and sector valuations remain attractive, at 12.6x P/E, 8.2x EV/EBITDA and 6.0% dividend yield for FY19.

Gear4music (G4M) has delivered an outstanding set of interim results figures, based on its position as a beneficiary from the Covid restrictions across Europe. The previously disclosed 42% sales increase included new customer numbers jumping 52% over last year to just over 400,000, who will bring benefits over the medium- and longer-term. Performance increases and profit margins were leveraged going down the profit & loss account, with PBT of £4.9m delivered against last year’s small loss of £0.1m. With November seeing a continuation of strong trading patterns, G4M expects FY21E results to be ahead of recently upgraded market forecasts. We have consequently increased our EBITDA forecast by £1.1m (+9%) to £13.5m.
Studio Retail’s share price is the same as in mid-Feb, before the market sell-off due to the pandemic. This feels anomalous to 1) its clear online position & value orientation, where there has been a notable shift post covid, 2) capacity withdrawal + scope for share gains in its addressable markets, and 3) rating expansion among its peers. Interims next week are likely to act as a catalyst for re-rating, where there is a lot of headroom vs a c8x P/E currently.
