Edison Investment Research

Update: FY16 trading in line

K3 expects to report FY16 results broadly in line with market expectations. Trading was encouraging during H216, with a good level of contract wins in the final months of the year. Net debt has reduced over the year, although is higher than we forecast, partly due to a major retail customer going into administration close to year-end. We make no changes to estimates, pending FY16 results on 13 September.

Update: Scandinavian retail software acquisition

K3 is acquiring DdD, a Danish point-of-sale (PoS) solution provider, for up to â‚¬10m/Â£7.9m. The company is raising Â£12.8m (net) from the issue of 4.1m shares to fund the deal and future product development.

The deal also expands K3â€™s presence in Northern Europe and offers cross-selling potential.

While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
