Tinexta - ‘No interest’ in press-speculated deal

Tinexta has stated it has ‘no interest in the deal’ that was subject to press speculation on 4 January 2022, namely the claimed negotiations to combine with Prelios, a private-equity owned company. Tinexta’s recent M&A strategy has focused on investing in new industries, with an expected strong growth profile (such as the acquisitions of Cyber Security and CertEurope in France), or the formation of new ventures (with no new capital investment by Tinexta) with industry participants that management expects will improve the growth outlook for its existing business units (such as the new venture with Intesa Sanpaolo and the investment by Bregal Milestone in InfoCert). Tinexta will publish its new three-year economic and financial plan for FY22–24 on 28 February.

Tinexta - Weak Q324 but valuation appears too pessimistic

Tinexta’s weak Q324 results from its Cyber Security (CS) and Business Innovation (BI) divisions have prompted management to downgrade financial guidance for FY24 for the second time this year. We also take a more cautious stance on expected growth in FY25 and FY26. The c 60% decline in the share price in 2024, versus cumulative underlying downgrades of 16% to FY24e adjusted EBITDA, reflects investor concerns about two of Tinexta’s most significant acquisitions in recent years, the CS division and ABF Groupe. An improvement in performance from either would be helpful for sentiment, which appear...

Tinexta - Growth affected by temporary issues

Tinexta’s H124 results highlighted a weaker revenue profile in Q2 than Q1, mainly due to what management believes are temporary effects, as well as the high level of seasonality in some of the individual businesses. The temporary effects include: 1) a slight delay intra-year to expected new revenues, with management reiterating its underlying growth expectations for the year; and 2) deferred growth from ABF Group by six months due to the political changes in France. The latter leads to a reduction in adjusted EBITDA estimates of 5%, but management continues to guide to a strong year of growth ...

Tinexta - Typical seasonality in Q124

Tinexta’s Q124 results showed good progress in the two divisions that typically demonstrate more consistent (through the year) growth, Cyber Security and Digital Trust, which management expects to deliver higher growth over the next few years. Business Innovation demonstrated its typical seasonality and management therefore remains confident about the outlook for the year.

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.

Altron - Further margin expansion in H125

Altron reported a 105% y-o-y increase in operating profit before capital items in H125, with margin expansion of 5.1pp to 9.8%. The Platforms businesses were particularly strong, with Netstar and FinTech achieving material revenue and profit growth. Altron Digital Business, still in the integration phase, saw some non-recurring costs and the shift of several project starts into H225, but has seen indications that performance should improve in FY26. Management raised its FY26 operating profit target, partly to reflect the inclusion of Altron Document Solutions (ADS) in continuing operations. We...
