SCISYS - Space division is flying in spite of Brexit

2017 was a transitional year for SCISYS, with the key Space division flying and ANNOVA’s integration progressing in line with expectations. The attainment of an €18m prime contractor role in H2 is a significant endorsement of SCISYS Space’s proprietary PLENITER software suite, with which SCISYS is targeting the commercial space sector. In August, ANNOVA achieved a key milestone with its BBC contract, which means it is trading ahead of initial management targets. This comes on the back of H1 results, which revealed 6% organic growth across the group and a record half-year order book. Management’s goal to achieve £60m in revenues and double-digit margins within three to five years looks conservative, and we believe the stock looks attractive on c 11x our maintained FY18e EPS.
