Demonstrating the underlying strength

In a year clean free of acquisitions, EBITDA of £5.6m (£5.5mE) was delivered from revenue of £24.5m (£25.0mE), in line with the January trading update. Margin expansion to 23% (vs 22%E) demonstrated the targeted and successful continuing delivery of the Nasstar 10-19 initiative, aiming for 25% EBITDA margin run rate by December 2019, accompanied by revenue growth. Positive consequences include the very strong free cash flow of £4.1m (vs £3.1mE), in a year absent of acquisitions, highlighting the strongly cash generative model. Forecasts indicate tweaked FY18 forecasts (revenue -£0.5m; EBITDA unchanged) while the board has the confidence to increase both discretionary capex and the dividend, reiterating the strength in growing revenue (88% recurring), expanding margins and strong underlying cash generation. Given the business strength and board confidence, we lift our target to 15p (13p), rolling out FY19 forecasts that highlight a 6.8% free cash flow yield at the current share price.

The Joy of Techs

This quarter we use finnCap’s Slide Rule to provide both top-down and bottom-up analysis of the UK’s Technology and Telecoms sectors. Our findings are very reassuring: the Tech sector scores the best (across all sectors) when considering Growth and Quality – Taptica*, Frontier Developments* and dotDigital* in particular stand out on these metrics. Given these attractive characteristics and growth prospects, the Tech sector is unsurprisingly one of the most expensive – currently trading at 17.2x FY1 EV/EBIT and 23.8x FY1 P/E, versus 15.0x and 18.5x respectively for the wider market. Despite valuations appearing high, we believe there are value opportunities. For example, Proactis* features in finnCap’s QVGM+ portfolio (ranked 17/462) – the company offers attractive organic and inorganic growth, with earnings forecast to grow by 26% CAGR over the next two years, but despite this, only trades on 15x FY1 earnings and offers 8% FCF yield in FY2.

Bigblu Broadband - New partner, strong organic growth prospects

Bigblu Broadband (BBB) has established a strong position as an alternative and rural broadband provider across multiple geographies using satellite, fixed wireless and 4G/5G technologies. Its customers are homes and businesses unserved or underserved by fibre and the group is in a strong position to leverage the heavy investment made by satellite operators in high-speed broadband as well as its own selective roll-out of ultrafast and giga-fast fixed wireless services. With Bigblu set for strong organic growth and well established in key markets, the days of high M&A and equity issuance also appear to be over.

Trimming numbers, but profits are leaping

Alongside the CFO change announcement, RTHM included a compact update on trading. While H1 revenues are off plan (weak Performance market and integration disruption), lasting effects look likely to be modest and the biggest implication of H1 EBITDA guidance is that costs have been reduced much faster than expected, providing comfort for the full year. EBITDA looks set to continue to soar and investors are likely to focus on H1’19 EBITDA progress; c$20m compares very favourably with $3.1m in H1’18 and $14.0m for all of FY18. Our new FY19 forecast is for $48m. The stock trades on just 3.6x FY19 EV/EBITDA. We adjust our TP to 533p (was 730p) implying investors can more than double their money. BUY.

Motion measurement going mainstream

OMG has released a good set of FY’18 results, in line with expectations. Vicon is experiencing a structural shift in demand, with new technology markets boosting revenue. The group is embracing this shift, and increasing investment in FY’19 to maximise its market leading position. The strong momentum in Vicon was offset by slower pipeline conversion in Yotta, particularly in new international markets. This is being addressed with a shift towards the indirect and OEM channel for international sales. Overall OMG is in a good position to meet its FY’21 target of doubling profits and tripling recurring revenue, with the increased investment in FY’19 expected to deliver a fast payback in FY’20 and an enhanced growth trajectory going into FY’21.

Seeing Machines Ltd - Aviation division deal with Air Force

Seeing Machines Limited, the advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport safety, has today announced that it will provide eye and face tracking sensor technologies to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for a new Pilot Training System, marking the first commercial program agreement for the Group's Aviation division. Seeing Machines' operator monitoring technology will initially be installed in two Pilatus PC-21 advanced flight training simulators to aid pilot candidates in reaching proficiency, support and optimise pilot streaming. This will improve overall training efficiencies, reduce cost and failure rate. Comment: Signing the first commercial deal in the Aviation sector is good news for this division which leverages off company's the core eye and head tracking platform. Requiring little additional resource, this sector is expected to add significant value in the coming years as traction picks up in three routes to market. This first route to market, pilot training and simulators, has good potential in the military market alone. These first two systems believed to be sold for around A$125k each, and with the potential to greatly reduce the huge costs of military pilot training, these are likely to appeal to air forces around the world. The other routes to market Seeing Machines is pursuing in the aviation sector include civil pilot training (where a pilot shortage is becoming ever more acute), on board aircraft as a pilot monitoring tool (which can help reduce the number of pilots required per aircraft for long haul flights), and in air traffic control systems. Whilst the Aviation sector is included in our forecasts and valuation, we have only included a portion of one of the routes to market (pilot monitoring) leaving further upside from the aviation sector in our 15p price target for the group.
