Polish SAP consulting bolt-on

SNP is acquiring BCC, one of the largest SAP partners in Central and Eastern Europe, for an undisclosed price. The deal broadens the group’s customer base, widens its expertise in the areas of SAP service and cloud provisioning and brings onboard c 250 SAP and IT consultants who can be cross-trained in transformation projects. On our estimates, the deal is value creating and earnings enhancing, with our FY18e and FY19e EPS rising by c 19%. However, we have cut our FY17 EBIT forecast, which implies a 7.3% margin, or 9.7% before the €2.65m one-off items outlined in the Q1 results. Given SNP’s strong market position in software-based transformation projects and assuming a sustained high level of activity, we believe the shares remain attractive on c 18x our FY19e earnings.
