A sector leader in both growth and profitability

Despite sharp market falls in Q4 of FY22 (Jan-Mar 22), AUM grew 26% y-o-y to £11.3bn (FY21: £9.0bn), with £1.3bn of net inflows (14.2% of opening AUM compared to a sector median of just 4.3%). Revenue grew 26% from £23.4m in FY21 to £29.4m, adjusted operating profit 27% from £11.4m to £14.5m, and adjusted operating margin increased from 48.8% to 49.5% (compared to a sector median of 32%), providing further evidence of operational gearing.

Net cash increased 28% from £16.9m to £21.7m, even though £6.6m was paid in dividends and £3.0m for the first tranche of the Verbatim funds acquisition. Tatton has declared a full-year dividend of 12.5p, 14% up on the 11p distributed in FY21, giving a yield of 3.0%

Our fundamental value is 530p per share. That is c. 27% above the current share price, but down slightly on our previous value of 560p per share - due mainly to an increased discount rate (which is in turn due to the recent jump in UK 10-year Gilt yields which we have used as our risk-free rate).
