Update: Xibis extends the offering to mobile apps

SCISYS has acquired privately owned Xibis, which provides web and mobile app solutions largely to the retail sector, for up to £3.2m. The deal extends the group’s offerings into a new, high-growth area with attractive c 20% margins. In our view, SCISYS’s larger size and plc profile should enable Xibis to win bigger deals within Xibis’s client base. Further, SCISYS plans to cross-sell Xibis solutions to its existing client base and the additional offerings should strengthen SCISYS’s pitches for new business. Nevertheless, the shares trade on an attractive c 9x our FY15 EPS.
