Value-enhancing deal at a modest 0.8x sales
StatPro is acquiring UBS Delta, a portfolio analysis and risk management system, from UBS for €13.05m. The acquisition significantly scales up StatPro’s business, boosting FY18 revenues by c 33% and EBITDA by c 40%. While the deal looks very cheap at less than 0.8x revenues, compared with 7.3x sales that FactSet recently paid for BISAM, a key competitor of StatPro, UBS Delta’s technology needs to be refreshed and to achieve this, its functionality, along with the customer base, will be transitioned to StatPro Revolution. If StatPro can successfully integrate UBS Delta, we believe there is strong upside potential in the shares, given the significant valuation disparity with its US-listed financial software peers.Statpro Group is engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of software systems and the provision of cloud-based portfolio analysis and asset pricing services to the asset management industry.
