EPS beat on favourable Italian tax changes

FY16 net revenues grew by 5% to €13.5m (we forecast €13.7m), while EBITDA eased by 2% to €5.6m (€6.0m). Revenue and the EBITDA margin both showed a small improvement in H2. The numbers were slightly below expectations, largely due to the challenging economic backdrop. However, EPS beat by 4% on lower than expected tax. We have conservatively eased our revenue and EBITDA forecasts, although EPS remains the same after taking into account favourable tax changes (expanded ‘Patent Box’ rules and reduced corporate tax charges). Given the attractive growth opportunities, strong cash generation and the healthy balance sheet, we believe the shares remain attractive on c 15x our FY18e earnings.

Piteco - Resilience demonstrated

Piteco SpA once again generated good revenue and EBITDA growth in H1, of 11% and 24%, respectively. FY20 had an excellent start, although the COVID-19 pandemic subsequently slowed down progress.

During H1 Piteco acquired EveryMake for an initial €0.55m in cash, which has been integrated into the Piteco SpA business. A new product in the data matching space is planned for launch in H2, and there will also be a major release of Piteco...
