SCISYS has been awarded a significant £4m four-year contract to develop, support and host a business/regulatory application for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). The new contract indicates that momentum is returning to the business in the wake of the contract hiccup earlier this year, which has since been rectified. The contract will boost the year-end order book and underpins our forecasts for FY16 and beyond. SCISYS has a long-term goal to generate revenues of £60m+ and double-digit margins, although we noted in September that the target for this has slipped back from FY18. Nevertheless, this objective keeps the shares looking attractive trading on c 10x our FY17e earnings.
