Ebiquity - Strong revenue growth and improving margin

Ebiquity’s year-end trading update confirms that revenue continued to grow strongly in H222, delivering a 20% improvement for the full year, with underlying organic growth of 9%. Management is guiding to an underlying operating margin of 12%, implying that FY22 operating profit will be just ahead of our £8.9m forecast, notwithstanding the slight undershoot on revenue. This improvement in margin reflects the two transformative acquisitions made in the year, adding operational capability and efficiency, and scaling the US reach, as well as the increase of digital in the revenue mix. The shares are priced at a substantial discount to both peers and the group’s long-term average EV/EBITDA multiple.
