Nektan is an innovative B2B mobile gaming platform provider, gaining positive momentum in Europe and the US. However, the business is still early stage, with £13.3m FY17 revenues accompanied by continued EBITDA losses. During 2017, Nektan secured a £2.5m loan from management and raised £1.76m via a placing and subscription of new shares. Depending on performance, we believe further fund-raising is possible. The dilution from the 2017 fund-raising has been mitigated by positive sentiment over subsequent management share purchases, as well as a new investor. In our view, profitable revenue growth and a move to positive EBITDA are necessary for a re-rating.
