R22 Group: Waiting for more post-IPO M&As

We keep R22 with a BUY rating but trim the FV to PLN 23.8 (from PLN 27.3) due to (1) later phasing of hosting acquisitions, (2) profitability pressure in Vercom from higher than initially expected growth in the enterprise client base (which due to huge SMS/email volumes also generates lower margins) and (3) also slightly lower revs from margin accretive performance marketing. As a result, we cut our 1YF/2YF/3YF EBITDA forecasts by 28%/17%/17% but sales by “only” by 5%/0%/0%. In our view, H88 and Vercom still present an attractive and growth long-term story. However the former is and will continue to be distorted by past and future hosting acquisitions while the latter should present high double-digit growth but at slightly lower profitability. Still, one of the key elements building the long-term fundamental value of R22 Group is acquisitions, both in H88 and Vercom. This was the main reason for the share capital increase in the R22 IPO.
