EML Payments - Major source of losses stemmed

As part of its strategy to focus on profitable, cash-generative businesses, the boards of EML Payments and PFS Card Services Ireland Limited (PCSIL) have decided to wind down the PCSIL business. This removes a source of considerable cash burn and management distraction and leaves the group better positioned to support the Gifting and the Australian and UK General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) businesses. The strategic review is ongoing and management noted it had received several expressions of interest for Sentenial. FY24 guidance given in November is maintained despite the PCSIL liquidation. We have revised our forecasts to reflect the November trading update and the PCSIL liquidation, upgrading our underlying EBITDA forecasts by 14.9% in FY24 and 6.0% in FY25.

EML Payments - Back to basics

EML Payments’ FY24 results were the first to show the full impact of the liquidation of PFS Card Services Ireland Limited (PCSIL). Continuing operations, which exclude PCSIL, saw gross debit volume (GDV) growth of 18%, revenue growth of 18% and underlying EBITDA growth of 34%. The sale of Sentenial has since completed with proceeds of A$53.4m, moving EML to a net cash position. Management is now focused on moving back to a growth mindset in the remaining business and optimising the cost base post the disposals. Shifting away from the medium-term targets given in February, management expects to...

EML Payments - Growth cap lifted in the UK

EML Payments announced that on 23 April the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK lifted the new customer restriction for Prepaid Financial Services Limited (PFSL), which had been in place since October 2022. With the appropriate structure and risk management controls now in place, PFSL can focus on growing the business. This marks another positive step forward for the group, after exiting PFS Card Services Ireland Limited (PFS), agreeing to sell Sentenial and finalising the settlement liabilities for the PFS acquisition.

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
