Edison issues outlook on Piteco (PITE)

Piteco's traditional corporate treasury business returned to growth in FY18 after a flat FY17, with growth accelerating in H2 and momentum continuing in FY19. Juniper Payments, the group's US payments software business, recorded solid FY18 results while Myrios, acquired late in the 2018, recorded an impressive initial contribution. Consequently, the shares look increasingly attractive on c 11x our FY20e earnings.

The stock looks appealing, trading on c 12x our EPS in FY19e, falling to c 11x in FY20e and to c 10x in FY21e. Our DCF model suggests a valuation of 655c (previously 591c), which is 22% above the current price. Our calculation uses assumptions including a 5.8% CAGR in organic net sales revenue over 10 years, long-term operating margins of 40% of net sales and a WACC of 9%. We have also adjusted for the dilution impact of the convertible bonds.

Piteco - Resilient performance

In FY20, Piteco SpA generated good revenue and EBITDA growth of 5%. The resilience of the business model is clear, with 64% of revenues originating from recurring fees. Group revenues were up 3% and EBITDA margin remained above 40% despite the coronavirus pandemic. Juniper and Myrios witnessed a slowdown in orders, as expected, and concentrated their efforts on developing innovative solutions, which will help to accelerate growth as the market recovers. The RAD acquisition, initially announced i...

Piteco - Resilience demonstrated

Piteco SpA once again generated good revenue and EBITDA growth in H1, of 11% and 24%, respectively. FY20 had an excellent start, although the COVID-19 pandemic subsequently slowed down progress. While Piteco’s products can help steer financial and treasury decision-making at times of crisis, at the height of lockdown, the acquisition of new clients slowed. During H1 Piteco acquired EveryMake for an initial €0.55m in cash, which has been integrated into the Piteco SpA business. A new product in t...

Piteco - An excellent year

Piteco Spa generated solid organic revenue and EBITDA growth in FY19 of 7% and 9% respectively and continued to benefit strongly from recent acquisitions. FY20 started very well, although the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to affect growth. It is still early days and Piteco is not directly affected. Indeed, its products can help steer financial and treasury decision-making at times of crisis. A potential global recession would be likely to cause a softening in the demand for Piteco's products. Pite...

Piteco - Business portfolio generates solid growth

Piteco generated solid organic revenue and EBITDA growth in H1 (+7/+8%) and benefitted strongly from recent acquisitions. We expect organic growth to continue for Piteco Spa and we forecast acceleration for Myrios and Juniper. We see balance sheet headroom for further M&A, which could strengthen the growth outlook (albeit with execution risks). Piteco continues to trade at a discount to Italian and international software peers.
