From Bell Potter.....hope it helps
Positive trading update Integrated Research (IR) provided an unexpected trading update late last week which was positive and included unaudited results for the 10 months to 30 April 2024: Revenue up 11% to $61.4m; EBITDA up 93% to $13.9m; and Total contract value (TCV) up 8% to $59.1m. The company noted that, as indicated at the release of the 1HFY24 result in February, the 2HFY24 result is skewed towards new contract wins. Supporting that outlook, IR said it has secured $8.4m in new TCV for the first four months of H2, including six new customers predominantly in the Americas and Collaborate portfolio. It also added that it “anticipates making further progress on executing its solid pipeline of new, new to existing and contract renewal opportunities” in May and June.
Upgrades IR also unusually provided forward guidance for FY24 of revenue b/w $76-85m (vs BPe $73.7m), EBITDA b/w $18-25m (vs BPe $13.5m) and TCV b/w $75-84m. On the back of the positive trading update and guidance we have upgraded our revenue and EBITDA forecasts in FY24, FY25 and FY26 by 6%, 8% and 4% and 39%, 61% and 45%. We now forecast FY24 revenue and EBITDA of $78.2m and $18.8m which is towards the lower end of the guidance ranges. We note the low end of the guidance ranges assumes only renewals whereas the high end includes risk weighted new contract wins.
+Investment view:
PT up 44% to $0.95, Maintain BUY On the back of the positive update and guidance we have increased the multiples we apply in the PE ratio and EV/EBITDA valuations from 9.0x and 7.0x to 9.5x and 7.25x and also reduced the WACC we apply in the DCF from 10.3% to 10.2%. The net result is a 44% increase in our PT to $0.95 which is >15% premium to the share price so we maintain our BUY recommendation.
We note the outlook for the stock is positive given the solid pipeline of new opportunities, the renewal pipeline in FY25 is similar to FY24 (and includes JPMC) and the growing cash levels.
