Kape Technologies - Improved trading, strategic transition complete

Kape’s trading update confirms good progress. Driven by the core App distribution business, EBITDA has increased by 48% to $4.3m. The disposal of the non-core Media division, following hot on the heels of the Intego acquisition essentially completes Kape’s transition into a wholly focused consumer cybersecurity business. We leave our underlying profit forecasts broadly unchanged (34% EBITDA growth between FY18e and FY19e). While the disposal trims 7% from our FY19 EPS forecasts, we believe that the group’s performance and rating should benefit from the being 100% focused on consumer cybersecurity.
