Pebble Group - Strong H122 lifts full-year prospects

The Pebble Group’s H122 update confirms that it is carving out a strong position in the very large and fragmented global promotional products industry, estimated to be worth €50bn. Facilisgroup (Pebble’s SaaS business supporting promotional products for SMEs in North America) is building its recurring revenue base and benefiting from good underlying demand, boosted by currency translation. Brand Addition, supporting global brands with promotional products, saw significant volume uplifts from new business and existing customers in both 2020 and 2021. Management indicates that FY22 figures will exceed current guidance and we expect consensus forecasts to rise, to an extent tempered by some caution over the economic backdrop.

The Pebble Group - Improved operational readiness

Pebble’s H124 results put it on track to meet FY24 EBITDA market forecasts, set against continuing cautious industry sentiment. Management has been strengthening operations, including appointing a chief product officer at Facilisgroup and a global marketing director at Brand Addition. Client retention remains strong and forward indicators are positive at Facilisgroup. At Brand Addition, macro uncertainties mean clients remain circumspect, but financial performance is helped by better gross margins. The global promotional products market opportunity is substantial, and Pebble is well placed to ...

The Pebble Group - Two distinct businesses in one

The Pebble Group’s AGM update confirms that trading is in line with FY24 expectations, with attractive opportunities for its two distinct businesses in the large, fragmented promotional products sector. Facilisgroup is a SaaS business, helping North American distributors to optimise their operations, with access to an approved supplier roster. Brand Addition services global brands’ needs for branded product for in-house and external programmes. The well-publicised dip in tech sector marketing spend was a key factor in Pebble’s Q423 outlook revision. Both segments are now well placed to benefit...

The Pebble Group - Positioned to benefit from re-emerging confidence

The Pebble Group’s FY23 results were as previously flagged. Facilisgroup, Pebble’s digital commerce segment, grew FY23 revenues by 8% after an H2 slowdown in gross merchandise value (GMV) for its partners affected revenue earned from its preferred supplier base. At Brand Addition, selling into large, global brands, revenue from tech and consumer clients trailed FY22. Both group segments are well placed to benefit from rebuilding corporate assurance and continued investment, although precise timing is uncertain. Pebble has considerable financial resource, with £15.9m in net cash (excluding leas...

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. 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 ...
