Gamma’s FY 2018 results show the anticipated continuation of the healthy performance which the Group has provided in recent years. In particular, they feature adjusted numbers which are 3-5% ahead of our estimates which were upgraded after January’s trading update. Importantly, the commentary and the numbers are consistent with recent trading updates and the evolution of Gamma’s strategy which was announced in some detail at the recent Capital Markets Days (CMD). The channel showed further growth during FY 2018 with more contract wins while the direct business also enjoyed a good 2018 – helped by a useful tailwind from contracts won in 2017. The outlook comments are positive and note the visibility afforded by the Group’s recurring revenue base. We make some small positive changes to adjusted estimates for FY 2019E and FY 2020E and introduce estimates for FY 2021E. In viewing the continued momentum in the business, we see our numbers as conservative and we expect to see Gamma further exploit the growth opportunities which it has identified.
