eServGlobal - Break-even target reiterated

eServGlobalâ€™s H118 results confirm it has reduced its cost base further and is still targeting EBITDA break-even for FY18. It also noted it is having conversations with interested parties relating to the disposal of its core business. This would leave the company holding its 35.7% stake in the HomeSend joint venture, which we estimate makes up most of the current valuation.

eServGlobal - FY18 core business outlook maintained

eServGlobal released a positive H118 trading update indicating that core business orders were ahead of internal forecasts and reiterated its target of achieving EBITDA break-even for the full year. With H1 revenue guidance of â‚¬3.6m/A$5.7m, the majority of these bookings will be recognised in H2, indicating a heavy H2 weighting for the year (c 70%). HomeSend continues to expand rapidly (59% top-line growth), and remains the key value driver for the stock. We leave our forecasts unchanged at this stage; H118 results are due by the end of August.

eServGlobal - Banking on HomeSend

eServGlobal enters FY18 with a reduced cost base and a fully funded balance sheet; we are forecasting the core business to be close to EBITDA break-even in FY18. With access to Mastercardâ€™s sales force and financial institution customer base, HomeSend has signed up a number of banks to use its cross-border payment platform. As these banks shift volumes onto the platform, this should drive strong growth in volumes and move the joint venture towards profitability.

S&U - PBT ahead, encouraging volume trends

S&U reported FY24 PBT of £33.6m, down from £41.4m in FY23 on higher funding and regulatory costs and higher impairments in Advantage in H2. PBT was 2% ahead of our forecast as stronger revenues – up 12% to £115.4m – and better costs offset higher-than-expected impairments. Net receivables grew to a record at both Advantage and Aspen and management noted particular strength in Q4 and a good trading environment in the current year. Having absorbed a significant rise in funding cost as well as additional regulatory cost, the company looks well positioned to deliver steady growth from here on, esp...

In a year where it moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, it recorded revenue growth of 13% and gross margin expansion to 61% (the highest in the sector, according to management), but is yet to record an operating profit (FY23 operating loss of £59.4m versus £54.0m in FY22). Ceres continued its strategy to drive innovation and technology across solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and hydrogen electrolysers (SOEC), increasing its R&D spending by 11% y-o...

Zalaris - Commencement of strategic review

Zalaris announced a strategic review process on 2 April, as the company explores potential opportunities to accelerate growth and maximise value for both customers and shareholders. The potential of a sale and delisting reflects the sentiment from many other listed technology businesses that have recently gone private, finding public markets a restraint to investment in growth. There is no certainty that an initiative, event or transaction will take place. Zalaris’s Q124 results are scheduled for 7 May.
