New partnership supporting growth

Corero has announced a new partnership agreement with TechEnabler, a Brazilian network solutions provider. Latin America is a relatively untapped market for Corero and this agreement should yield considerable upside as it develops. We continue to see fair value at 14p and upside risk to our current forecasts.

Kentik channel partner. TechEnabler is a Kentik channel partner and integrator headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Kentik is a US based network observability platform which visualises cloud and network traffic. Kentik enables the resolution of any troubleshooting problems many times faster than normal and helps mitigate cyber-attacks.

$1m+ booked. The partnership agreement has already generated bookings for Corero’s products and services in excess of $1m as part of its Scrubbing-as-a-Service offering.

Strong trading in FY24E. Corero recently highlighted that revenues for FY24E are to be in the region of approximately $22.3m, indicating YoY revenue growth of +11%. Corero closed last year with annualised recurring revenue (ARR) showing even stronger growth of +17% YoY to $16.9m.

Debt free. Corero is now debt free and, with a very experienced CEO Carl Herberger now onboard, it can focus on executing a growing pipeline of new business. We see plenty of capacity for upside risk to our FY24E forecasts. The business is self-sustaining and, in our view, undervalued on an EV/sales ratio of 1.8x this year.
