The Q1 figures for All for One Group AG (ISIN DE0005110001, Prime Standard, A1OS GY) showed a slight drop in sales to €92.3m (-2%), while EBIT fell faster (€4.8m, -12%). Taking a closer look, it becomes clear that the principal reason for this was a significant reduction in revenue from licences (-37%), while the strategically significant recurring revenue (€45.8m) increased by 9%. The company has confirmed its guidance, which forecasts growth of at least 4%. We are also leaving our expectations unchanged: growth in recurring revenue remains healthy and the proportion of licence revenue in the sales mix (seasonal high in calendar Q4) will decline over the remaining quarters. With an EV/sales multiple of around 0.6, shares in All for One Group still trade at a favourable price.

Our price target for the All for One Group share, equally based on DCF valuation and peer group analysis, is €72.85. We reiterate our “Buy” rating.
