Deleveraging to drive value
Jackpotjoy plc’s (JPJ) maiden London-listed results demonstrated the benefits of leading market brands in a profitable and cash generative business. Pro-forma group revenues grew 15% in FY16, with industry leading EBITDA margins of 38%. The stock has suffered from unusually high net debt, a lack of dividend and a complex relationship with Gamesys. However, the revised terms of the contract, together with the end of the major earn-out period, suggest that deleveraging will be on track. 2017 trading multiples of 6.7x EV/EBITDA and 5.9x P/E are far below the sector and, as JPJ continues to demonstrate its market dominance in bingo-led gaming, the stock appears attractive as a turn-around candidate.JPJ Group is an online gaming holding company.
