Vercom - Earnings and Cash Flow on a Cloud Platform

Grupa Vercom is a leading Polish and Czech provider of cloud-based multi-channel communications powered by CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service), including SMS, e-mail, as well as push notifications and selected OTT services. To investors, Vercom offers positive exposure to the fast-growing e-Commerce sector via key customers, including names like Allegro, Poland’s top online marketplace, InPost, owner of e-Commerce delivery parcel lockers, and DHL. Vercom is also building capabilities in Marketing Technology. Vercom has a diverse and fast-growing customer base with low churn. As a non-capital-intensive operation, Vercom generates high cash flow. Vercom wants to grow its business organically, by leveraging its position as a leading CPaaS provider to e-Commerce, but it is also on the lookout for acquisition targets in the region, having marked IPO proceeds for the future transactions. We believe Vercom can deliver recurring revenue growth at more than 21% CAGR in 2020-24 – only a few other WSE-listed companies with >PLN 100m sales can sustain an equally rapid pace of expansion. Using DCF analysis and relative valuation, we put the value of Vercom at PLN 59.30 per share.
