JPJ Group plc - International continues to drive growth
Driven by an impressive 42% organic growth in the Vera&John division, JPJ reported FY18 revenue growth of 10% to £319.6m with an EBITDA margin of 35.3%. International now comprises 43% of revenues and we expect this to increase as the company diversifies away from the UK. Cash generation remains strong and adjusted net debt/EBITDA has fallen from 3.6x in FY17 to 2.7x in FY18. Management is committed to a progressive dividend policy (once the ratio is sustainably below 2.5x) and would also consider share buybacks at that point. The stock is trading at the bottom of the peer group at 6.7x P/E and 8.2x EV/EBITDA for FY19e.JPJ Group is an online gaming holding company.
