2018 Full Year Earnings Expectations

Dear all,

Appreciate the commentary thus far and was hoping to hear some thoughts re full year earnings expectations, especially given the lack of guidance.

By my calculations, I have a target price of c. 80c. This can be broken down into two parts:

1. 2018 Full Year EPS estimate of 5.7c
- c.15% growth in revenue on the LTM reported revenue of 10.3m, or 30% increase in revenues from the 9.2m recognised in 2017.
- c.22% growth in EBITDA from LTM to $5m
- Uncertainty surrounding potential tax costs - would appreciate suggestions/comments
- At the current trading multiple of 10x, we arrive at value of 57c offering some upside from current price

2. Potential P/E re-rating
- Basket of comps with similar attributes (can share criteria if desired) trade at an average P/E of 18x
- Discounting this by 20% to account for PRO's questionable track record, we reach a multiple of 14x
- Expect this re-rating to occur if PRO executes on its current strategy and outperforms this half and 2019H1
- Target price = 80c, with upside up to $1 if it returns to its industry peers at 18x
- Similar result when compared on an EV/EBITDA multiple

Key risks/discussion points;
- EPS estimate may be too bullish...
- Lack of guidance given by management. Believe this is a good thing, indicating prudence by management so they can surprise to the upside, instead of fall into the trap of overpromising and underperforming as they have done in the past
- Underpinned by a good structural thematic of cyber security and systems performance, which will only become more important and a bigger focus of businesses
- Potential M/A ?
- Key sales personnel or sales contract risk?
- Continued software investment or increased competition leading to margins compression?

Can't see much downside from here, but let me know if I am missing something. However, definitely concerned by the lack of a solid institutional investor on the register...
