Recapitalised group sees revenues grow

Maistro issued full year results for FY’18 highlighting revenue growth of 154% to £1.5m. Revenue growth was primarily driven by traction with its core customer (Revenues: £0.9m; 2017: £0.0m) fitting with management’s new, targeted ‘land and expand’ strategy. Cash-burn remained stable at £2.1m. During FY’18 the group completed a successful share issue raising £2.1m net of fees; the cash balance stood at £1.1m at year-end, with £0.9m of the raise collected in early 2019. We are encouraged by continued strong growth; however execution remains key, with performance against management’s strategic goals required to unlock value potential.

Much improved H2’17 performance

Maistro reported an encouraging FY’17 set of results that show the group is on a much improved trajectory, led by the new Board (appointed in July 2017) and supported by a much stronger balance sheet. Revenues for the group materially increased (164%) in the second half of 2017 compared with the first half of 2017 driven by improved engagement with Enterprise customers particularly in the UK and Eurozone. Adjusted LBITDA reduced 25% to $2.7m with a cash balance at year end of $3.3m following two share placings. The outlook is positive and the group believes it can build on the progress made in H2’17 into 2018 and beyond as Enterprises seek innovation to improve their corporate buying processes.

N+1 Singer - blur Group - FY results, awaiting update from the new Board

blur reported FY 2016 results showing revenue of $0.83m, adjusted LBITDA of $3.6m and year end cash of $2.5m. The group’s transition to an enterprise-only strategy ceased direct marketing activities at the SME market whilst long sales cycles in the enterprise space meant revenues developed slowly. Significant reductions in cost helped to keep the loss in line with expectations and reduce cash burn. On July 7 2017, the group announced a successful placing raising £1.75m (before expenses) and with it, a refresh of the Board. The new Board is currently conducting a review of the business and during this period, we are suspending our forecasts and will re-publish them in due course. We continue to believe there is a highly attractive opportunity for a platform providing automation for the enterprise procurement process, particularly in services. There group continued to make positive progress in 2017 and we await the update from the new Board as to its strategy to best convert the opportunity.

N+1 Singer - blur Group - Update on financing, business plan and current trading

With blur’s cash at 31 May 2017 standing at $1.14m, the group conducted market soundings with new and existing potential cornerstone investors to see if it can secure additional funding. On conclusion of some of these initial discussions, the proposed investment terms included a number of onerous conditions which the board considered to be not in the best interest of shareholders. As such, it is currently evaluating alternative sources of near-term funding, which may or may not be forthcoming within four to six weeks. blur is continuing to execute on its enterprise customer strategy, remains engaged with a number of customers, continues to control costs with Q1 performance in line with expectations; however, it is clear that protecting/shoring up the equity value can only be achieved by securing additional funding.

IQE - Executive interview

IQE’s CFO, Tim Pullen, discusses the company’s recent interim results and explains the operational measures IQE has put in place to support growth. He also explains why it is well placed to adapt to shifts in the global electronics supply chain being brought about by US/Chinese trade sanctions. With the infrastructure phase of the capacity-expansion programme nearing completion, he explains why future investment in capacity will be much more linear and discretionary, based on anticipated demand. As a result, supported by recent cost-control measures, the company expects to generate cash in H2. With an increased debt facility in place, management is confident it will not need to raise further capital. Tim ends by discussing how management sees margins evolving and how investors should view the timing of the company’s growth opportunities across multiple different applications.

A wheel of fortune

These are exciting times for Bango as it matures and expands. After many years building merchant and carrier connections and volumes, the payment processing platform has reached profitability and will rapidly scale revenue on a fixed cost base. The data business is a natural evolution, driving greater payment volumes in a steadily accelerating virtuous circle; adding more data sources will spin it ever faster. Well-managed by an experienced team and uniquely positioned in a high growth industry, we launch coverage with the Interims in a seminal year: Bango is now fully funded and its revenues continue to grow rapidly, targeting breakeven this year and promising significant cash profits from next. We feel the market has yet to fully appreciate the exciting prospects for Bango and set a 225p target price.

Tech IPOs outperform, Uber’s great freight hope, New Huawei technology

Tech IPOs year to date have performed well. 8/13 venture-backed tech IPOs this year, including Slack's direct listing, are in profitable territory. If you'd put $1 million into each of them at the IPO price, your $13 million initial investment would be worth $21.7 million - a 67% gain compared to +20% performance in the S&P 500 YTD. As we’ve discussed earlier this month, investors’ appetite for technologies leveraging secular trends appears undiminished

The virtuous circle strategy continues to deliver

Bango has announced solid H1 2019A results in our view, with momentum remaining strong. At £467m, End User Spend (“EUS”) was confirmed as having more than doubled for a fifth consecutive year, and underlying opex levels remain broadly stable. A further highlight was the positive contribution from the data business, which now contributes over 25% of group revenue. We make revisions to FY 2019E earnings estimates following the release, noting, inter alia, Bango’s continuing commitment to investment in R&D to support its innovative product development. We also introduce FY 2020E forecasts for the first time which reflect the fruits of that investment.

Market share loss at key customers will leave H2 short

The Interims have been brought forward in light of a warning on H2. Quixant had previously flagged that 2019 would be heavily H2-weighted and H1 is weak but in line with expectations. However, a recent review of customer intentions reveals that H2 orders will not meet expected volumes. The global gaming machine market is still healthy but key customers (notably Ainsworth) have lost significant market share to Aristocrat in Australia and N. America. We cut our FY 2019 and FY 2020 forecasts; however, no customers have been lost and the concentration is much reduced while the long-term growth potential and cash generation remains strong.

Facebook working on AR glasses, TransferWise revenue +53% YoY, WeWork debt price tumbles

Facebook has been working to develop augmented reality glasses out of its Facebook Reality Labs in Redmond, Washington, for the past couple of years, but struggles with the development of the project have led the company to seek help. Now, Facebook is hoping a partnership with RayBan parent company Luxottica will get them completed and ready for consumers between 2023 and 2025, according to people familiar. Needless to say, we highlight a potentially substantial threat to Snap Inc, and a potentially huge opportunity for developers within the Facebook ecosystem.

Strong FY19 results, strong structural position

Arcontech has reported a strong set of FY19 results that have driven large but still conservative upgrades to our existing 2020 estimates. In this report, we also present an in-depth review of the Arcontech investment case, which we split into two parts. For Arcontech’s organic business, we expect that the company’s robust structural position can continue to deliver at least 6% revenue growth (FY19 +12%) and at least 7% EPS growth (FY19 +26%) in 2020-21. Meanwhile, we believe that Arcontech’s strong balance sheet creates a range of options for Arcontech as an acquirer or target, or could alternatively facilitate greater shareholder returns. We upgrade our price target to 200p based on 25x 2020 EPS, and Arcontech trades on 12m fwd multiples of 19x P/E, an EFCF yield of 3.8%, and a dividend yield of 1.4%.

Cenkos: Concurrent Technologies Plc - 2019 interim results update

This morning, Concurrent Technologies, the supplier of Intel based embedded computer systems, announced a strong set interim results for the period to 30 June 2019. Revenue was up 20.3% to £9.5m as sales increased across all sectors, with Defence remaining the largest sector by revenue. Order intake has also increased, resulting in record order book levels, giving confidence in the outlook for FY19. Exports generated 90% of revenue (H1/18: 88%). Cash generation during the period was also strong, with cash in the balance sheet at period end of £10.0m (H1/18: £7.8m), c21.8% of current market cap. Given its steady growth prospects and trading on a basic PER of 15.0x (ex-one-off other income of £1m), a significant cash balance and a prospective yield of 3.9%, the shares look attractively valued.

Foreign buyers gorging on UK stocks

Like whales feasting on Krill, overseas firms are today stuffing themselves silly with choice fillets of corporate Britain. Why? Well look no further than geopolitical tensions and Brexit, which have disproportionately impacted UK equities and the £. Indeed the FTSE100 has lagged the S&P500 by a hefty 19% over the past 2 years, with Sterling dropping to 34 year lows vs US$ (see below). That said to us, based purely on fundamentals, this period of underperformance appears over-cooked, leaving many quality British companies vulnerable to predatory interest.

Eckoh has released a short AGM statement, confirming good revenue growth in both the UK and US through the first five months of the year.

The shares trade on a FCF yield of 4.8% rising to 6.1% in FY’21 and we continue to be excited about the group’s growth prospects. With strong underlying momentum in both divisions, a large untapped opportunity in US Secure Payments, and excellent revenue visibility, we believe the shares are highly attractive.
