Records broken and encouraging trends

The Group has delivered record revenues and EBITDA in H1 to March 2023. The rising proportion of recurring revenues, improving margins and strong cash generation in consolidating, specialist markets has resulted in improved visibility. As the final deferred consideration will be paid during FY24, we expect net cash to rise to £3m or 34% of the NAV during FY25.

Improved visibility generated by the focus on added-value, long term contracts has enabled us to introduce estimates for FY24 and FY25. We anticipate a CAGR in revenues/EBITDA of 15.3%/35.8% respectively between FY22A and FY25F. Adj. EBITDA margins increase from 7.0% to 13.4%. Our expectation is investment in the business and/or M&A will take precedence over dividends for now. We have increased our fair value / share estimate to 2.0p (from 1.7p), a 57% premium to the current price.
