Checkit (CKT): SaaS software for the deskless workforce

Checkit's SaaS platform is designed to bring visibility to the operations of businesses with dispersed, deskless workforces. Checkit is focused on driving adoption of its software and over the last year has invested to support its shift to a pure SaaS business model. Net proceeds of £20m from the recent placing will be used to accelerate growth plans, with the US a particular focus. In our view, consistent growth in recurring revenues and an expanding customer base should help to reduce the valuation discount to software peers.

 

On an EV/sales multiple of 1.6x for FY22e and 1.9x for FY23e, Checkit trades at a significant discount to the UK software sector (5.4x current year sales, 4.2x next year sales) and US SaaS peers (16.0x CY, 12.3x NY sales). If Checkit were to trade on the UK average for FY23e, it would be worth 70p per share. Key triggers to help Checkit attract a multiple more in line with SaaS peers include evidence that customers are signing up to use its software, existing customers are expanding their usage and non-recurring revenues are being converted to subscription services.

Checkit - Contract expansions drive order intake

In H125, Checkit reported year-on-year growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) of 9%, with strong order intake partially offset by higher churn. Existing customers contributed more than half of ARR growth, evidence of the land and expand strategy at work. The company maintains its short- and medium-term outlook, including its target to reach EBITDA break-even in FY27, with the narrowing H125 EBITDA loss confirming progress towards this. We maintain our ARR, revenue and EBITDA forecasts and redu...

Checkit - No intention to bid for Crimson Tide

On 26 June, Checkit announced that it did not intend to make a formal bid for Crimson Tide. Since Checkit’s original and revised all-equity proposals, another bidder, Ideagen, has expressed an intention to make an all-cash bid at a significantly higher price. Checkit will now refocus on organic growth and working towards profitability. Separately, an input VAT dispute with HMRC has concluded in Checkit’s favour, removing the related contingent liability.
