A third set of reassuring quarterly figures

Jackpotjoy plc (JPJ) has produced another set of robust quarterly earnings, with Q217 revenues increasing 17% to £75.2m and a 39.9% EBITDA margin. The core Jackpotjoy division grew 18% and is gaining market share. Q3 has started well, management has reiterated its expectations for FY17 and our forecasts remain unchanged. The stock trades at a significant discount to peers, with 2018e multiples of 7.2x EV/EBITDA, 6.1x P/E and 15.0% free cash flow yield. The balance sheet is simplifying following a major earn-out payment and, as the company continues to demonstrate its market dominance, we would expect a re-rating in the shares.
