Expert System - Focus shifts to scaling up

The first year of Expert System’s five-year plan ‘Path to Lead’ was essentially a year of investment, and despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, the company made good progress meeting key funding, product, marketing and hiring milestones. Management is maintaining its financial projections for the plan for FY21–24, which calls for modest growth this year, followed by accelerating growth in FY22–24, and positive EBITDA from FY23. We have made small changes to our forecasts for FY21 and FY22 and introduce forecasts for FY23.

Expert.ai - Growth in focus areas

Expert.ai reported 11% y-o-y revenue growth in H121, and as a result of the focus on product development and strengthening the sales and marketing function the EBITDA loss widened to €7.0m from €4.6m in H120. We maintain our forecasts for FY21, which assume similar seasonality to previous years. The planned shift in listing from AIM Italia to Borsa Italiana should widen the potential investor audience for expert.ai and improve liquidity.

Pan American Silver - La Arena divestment

Pan American Silver (PAAS) has announced a sale of the La Arena and La Arena II projects to Zijin Mining for US$245m in cash, US$50m in a contingent payment and a 1.5% NSR gold royalty. La Arena II is a copper and gold sulphide deposit that sits underneath the currently producing La Arena gold project. We view the transaction as positive for PAAS, given La Arena’s very short mine life, significant capex required to bring La Arena II into production and the fact that copper is not PAAS’s core commodity.

SenSen Networks - Time to scale

SenSen’s Q324 results reflect the move to a lower cost base that provides a platform for future profitability. Minor delays to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) contract affected Q3 but should not affect FY24 as most of the deployment is now complete. North American Smart Cities growth is gaining traction via partnerships, underpinning Q424 momentum alongside strong fuel theft solution uptake. Restructuring to drive a return to sustainable free cash flow is mostly complete but resulted in one-off costs. We revise down our FY24 forecasts assuming similar Q4 growth from a lower Q3 base...
