Covid has accelerated the digitisation of all things physical. No more so than in the €10 trillion global construction industry, which some experts reckon has 5 years of catching up to do. A non-insignificant task (eg Crossrail & HS2) that could take decades to play out, but equally realise 100s of £bns of cost, time & productivity savings annually. The €8bn BuildTech sector (10%+ CAGR – see below) is at the heart of this transformation. Providing the glue & ‘digital twins’ that bind all the inter-connected ‘property lifecycle’ parts together – eg CAD/CAM (design), project mgt, visualisation, AI, asset maintenance (operate) and BIM (Building Info Modelling).

Byotrol (BYOT): Corp FY 2020 results – positive outlook drives upgrades | Eleco (ELCO): Corp New name and management but recurring revenue
Companies: Byotrol plc (BYOT:LON)Eleco Plc (ELCO:LON)
As flagged in the July trading update, the Eleco group (formerly Elecosoft) has delivered impressive first half financials in the face of the global pandemic. However, the results are somewhat overshadowed by the retirement of Executive Chairman, John Ketteley, after 23 years in the role. The COO, Jonathan Hunter, takes over as CEO and the Deputy Chairman, Serena Lang, steps up to Chairman. Both are very experienced and offer safe hands to guide Eleco forward through the unprecedented conditions of COVID-19. In the early stages of the pandemic, the group demonstrated its resilience as H1 revenue slipped just 4% YoY with 57% revenue being recurring. Moreover, benefiting from reduced cost of travel and marketing, H1 adj. PBT rose 12% YoY to £2.2m. The profit uplift was matched by strong cashflow, improving net cash from £1.1m at YE to a very healthy £4.4m at the end of June. Forecasts remain under review due to uncertainty in the COVID-19 environment, but Eleco continues to be well positioned – not just to weather the storm of pandemic, but to deliver a strong financial performance across the full year.
With the Nasdaq hitting all-time highs, finding quality, undervalued & resilient enterprise software stocks is nigh-on impossible. Especially those that are benefiting from secular growth trends, throwing off cash and expanding profits. BuildTech SaaS developer Elecosoft (now rebranded Eleco) fits the bill. Saying today that although H1’20 turnover dipped slightly to £12.2m (-4% vs £12.7m LY, -3% constant currency) due largely to COVID-19, adjusted PBT climbed 14% to £2.23m (£1.96m LY, or +23% reported £1.93m vs £1.57m LY). Boosted by favourable operating leverage, lower costs and higher EBIT margins (Est ED 19.4% vs 16.8% LY) - as tradeshows were postponed and less was spent on travel & other discretionary items.

If you are working from home, earning the same salary as last year, and not commuting, holidaying abroad or eating out, then you’ve probably saved a great deal of disposable income since the COVID-19 lockdowns began in March. The same is true for corporates, especially those who haven’t been materially impacted by the pandemic, or incurred significant extra costs (eg social distancing, cleaning, PPE). Take BuildTech software developer Elecosoft, who said today that although revenues declined 3% April YTD (2% constant currency: ED Est split -14% month vs +2% Q1’20). PBT had jumped an impressive 25% YoY – as tradeshows were postponed and less money was spent on travel, hotels, marketing & other discretionary items. Altogether lifting YTD EBIT margins to circa 20% (ED Est) vs 16.8% H1’19, and closing April with net cash of £3.1m vs £1.1m in Dec’19.

COVID-19 has proved to be a watershed for many reasons. Not least because of the untold human & economic damage, but also how it will transform daily life forever. In fact the construction industry, which traditionally has been slow to embrace new technology, is now accelerating its adoption of ‘everything digital’. A trend that will drive sales at BuildTech software developer Elecosoft for years ahead.

As confirmed in the last month’s update, FY 2019 showed good growth in turnover, profit and cash generation. The cashflow swung ELCO from opening net debt of £1.8m to net cash of £1.1m at the December YE, despite paying an interim dividend. Sensibly, there will be no final dividend in order to conserve cash. FY 2020 is an unknown; ELCO traded well in Q1 but is seeing disruption from Q2. Management has swiftly taken mitigating steps (WFH and providing services online) and costs are being reviewed and controlled. Given the obvious uncertainty, management withdrew guidance and we placed forecasts under review. However, with a large existing user-base paying substantial recurring support & maintenance, a portfolio of offerings diversified by recent acquisitions, and cash in the bank, ELCO is in good shape to manage the COVID-19 issues.
Given today’s uncharted waters, it is nice to own resilient, profitable and cash generative stocks. Especially those like BuildTech software developer Elecosoft - sporting a robust balance sheet and generating high recurring revenues (ED 56%). Traits which should not only provide investors shelter from the worst of the COVID-19 storm, but also thrive once this CAT 5 hurricane subsides.

The Panoply has announced the acquisition of Keep IT Simple (KITS), a provider of high value IT support and transformation services to public and private sector clients. KITS has a strong client base, including the Rural Payments Agency and DEFRA, and provides managed services notably in service integration and management. The current strength of The Panoply is in discovery, alpha and beta stages of projects and KITS will add the capability to run high value services thereby providing a complete end-toend offering. The combination with KITS will extend the average duration of contracts, with the enlarged group generating a higher proportion of revenues on a recurring basis, in addition to enabling The Panoply to bid for materially larger, multi-year projects. The group is paying £26m (30% cash, 70% shares) with no earnout but a £7m clawback if very demanding revenue targets are not met in 2022/23. With a March year end, there is limited impact on our fiscal 2021 estimate, but for FY22 we raise our PBT forecast by +48% to £8.4m, while DCe EPS is enhanced by +30% to 8.7p. We view the combination with KITS as a perfect strategic and operational fit, while the financial benefits are compelling. We raise our target price to 275p (was 235p) and retain our Buy recommendation.

Arcontech has reported a solid set of H1 21 results that provide a strong foundation for future growth. H1 revenue has increased +5% to £1.54m as 90% of Arcontech’s revenue is from recurring licence fees, and the October 2020 new tier one client win and tier one client contract upgrade provide £100k of additional annual recurring revenue, which offsets an existing client developing certain functionality in-house. The strength and flexibility of Arcontech’s solutions have enabled it to achieve these client wins despite a challenging H2 20 and H1 21 environment, where it has been difficult to finalise new sales due to limited customer contact and decisions being delayed due to remote working. In this environment, the two new additions to Arcontech’s salesforce since January 2020 have had a limited impacted on revenue, and the YoY opex impact leads to H1 adjusted EBIT declining 7% to £0.52m. However, Arcontech’s strengthened salesforce has been diligently establishing relationships with new potential customers, and as conditions return towards normal, we expect Arcontech will deliver new client wins that will benefit revised forecasts with a high incremental margin. Arcontech’s strong net cash of £5.0m continues to provide it with the flexibility to invest in accelerating its future growth through product development and sales, and we continue to expect it will grow its dividend by 10% at FY21 results. Although we reduce our forecasts to reflect the challenging sales environment, we look forward to Arcontech announcing new contract wins as it builds upon its strong foundations. On 23x 12m forward P/E with +5% NTM EPS growth and an EFCF yield of 4%, Arcontech trades at a discount to peers in financial information and the finnCap Next 50 on P/Es of 27-47x with NTM EPS growth of +6-15%, and EFCF yields of 2-4%.

FY20 revenue and earnings are as flagged in the January trading update, with adj. EPS and DPS slightly ahead of our forecast. Quartix has performed very well in an extremely difficult year of lockdowns affecting its SME customers across all geographic regions. Revenue increased slightly YoY (as usual, Fleet growth offset by Insurance decline), while a deferred insurance revenue release and greater use of self-install devices improved margins and profit YoY. As usual, cash conversion was good and together with FY19 cash retained during COVID, net cash of £10.6m at YE means a bumper final dividend. We make no change to forecasts, expecting investment in customer acquisition in FY21 to lower margins but drive a return to long-term growth from FY22. We raise our TP to 500p.
