(1.0) COMPANY UPDATE: (1.1) DCM reported Q4/2023 and full-year 2023 financial results. Revenue increased to $130.0 million in Q4/2023, up 77.9% from $73.0 million in Q4/2022, and in-line with our estimate of $131.0 million. (1.2)For the full year, Revenue hit $447.7 million in 2023, up 63.5% from $273.8 million in 2022, and in-line with our estimate of $448.8 million.

The Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 was $53.4 million, a 30.3% increase from the previous year. (1.4) The Revenue and EBITDA growth were mainly attributable to the acquisition of Moore Canada Corporation (MCC), which closed in Q2/2023. (1.5) We estimate DCM could generate over $54.4 million of EBITDA in 2024, which could be allocated towards debt reduction, dividend distribution, or exploring further acquisition opportunities. (2.0) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & VALUATION: (2.1) We updated our model with the DCM’s recent financials, shifted the model ahead one quarter, and slightly lowered the revenue growth from 2024 to 2026. (2.2) We estimate an equal-weighted price target of $6.90 based on a DCF valuation ($10.05/share), a Revenue Multiple valuation ($6.32/share), and an EBITDA Multiple valuation ($4.40/share). (2.3) We are maintaining a Buy rating and a one-year price target of $6.90.
