Solid H1; GetHappy launch set for FY18

Vectron Systems continues to benefit from regulatory tailwinds, achieving revenue growth of 26% in H117 after the 30% growth reported in FY16. This translated to operating margin expansion of 6.7 percentage points year-on-year to 14.9%. The company expects the new GetHappy app to be launched in FY18; this has the potential to provide significant upside to Vectron’s earnings. We do not believe that this is currently factored into consensus forecasts although the share price reflects some level of success for GetHappy in our view.
