Trend in ARR; Analysis by Kalkine Group 

Key Risks: The company is dependent on the performance, reliability, and availability of its technology platforms, data centres and global communications systems. Any disruption, failure, and breaches of customer data could potentially impact the financials of the company. The company is also exposed to forex risks and stringent regulatory measures.

Expect What?

The company is dedicated to the mergers and acquisitions team, and targets to win new customers and upsell the existing customers. BTH is also investing in technology to support growth in digital and mobility that could positively impact the company’s profitability. BTH expects to deliver or outperform ARR of ~$119 million and revenue of ~$109 million in FY22.

Valuation Methodology: EV/Sales Multiple Based Relative Valuation (Illustrative) 

Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group 

*% Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company’s NTM trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock's historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks. 

Stock Recommendation: The stock of the company has been corrected by ~21.48% in the past three-months. Currently, the stock has 52-week high and low levels of $1.53 and $0.761, respectively. The stock has been valued using an EV/Sales multiple-based illustrative relative valuation method and arrived at a target price of low double-digit upside (in % terms). The company might trade at a slight discount as compared to its peers, considering rising losses, technology disruption, dependence on single products, failure to retain existing customers, etc. For this purpose of valuation, peers such as Nearmap Ltd (ASX: NEA), ELMO Software Ltd (ASX: ELO), Adacel Technologies Ltd (ASX: ADA) and others have been considered. Considering decent liquidity position, rise in revenue base, successful launch Bigtincan for Salesforce, positive outlook, robust customer base, buyout synergies, current trading levels, valuation, and key risks associated with the business, we recommend a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the closing market price of $0.935, down by ~3.609% as on 13 January 2022.

Decmil Group Limited

DCG Details

Operational Update:  Decmil Group Limited (ASX: DCG) offers services such as designing, engineering, construction and maintenance to the infrastructure, resources, energy, and construction sectors in Australia.

  • On 5 January 2022, the company stated that post the completion of the performance testing of Sunraysia Solar Farm, the related authorities have verified the accomplishment of the necessary Hold Point testing (including HP1, HP2 and HP3).
  • Consequently, the company has obtained approval for unrestricted operations at the Sunraysia Solar Farm. Notably, the substantial completion under the contract has started and is likely to be achieved on or before the end of January 2022.
  • DCG also won government Infrastructure contracts of ~$27.8 million, which comprised ~$23.3 million with Main Roads Western Australia and ~$4.5 million with Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.

AGM Update:

  • Talking about FY21, DCG recorded a normalised EBITDA and revenues of $7.6 million and $313 million, respectively.
  • Markedly, $210 million of key transport projects and $92 million of other projects across the balance of DCG’s sectors were completed in FY21.
  • The company won ~$130 million awards in new projects since 30 June 2021, thanks to its continued focus on work winning.
  • In FY21, net cash flow from operations stood at $2.7 million (before repayment to surety bond providers). During the period, the company secured a $20 million subordinated debt financing and a $10 million equity raise in July 2021, thereby strengthening its balance sheet.

Activity Mix Highlight (Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group)

Key Risk: Delay in project implementation may disrupt the cash flows and strain the balance sheet. Shortage in infrastructure spending by the government may affect the order backlogs.

Outlook: The company remains well placed in the future, with an order book of ~$540 million and a project pipeline of ~ $46 billion. The company remains on track with its turnaround plan and is progressing well by retaining commercial, legal, and financial disciplines across its projects and achieving adequate work in its core sectors.

Stock Recommendation: The stock of DCG is trading near to its 52-week low level of $0.310, offering a decent opportunity for accumulation. The stock has been corrected by ~27.78% in the past six months. On a TTM basis, DCG has an EV/Sales multiple of 0.3x, compared to the industry median (Industrials) of 2x, thus seeming undervalued. Considering the robust pipeline till FY24, ongoing developments in its Solar Farm project, valuation on a TTM basis, successful completion of testing, decent liquidity position, optimistic outlook, current trading level and key risks associated with the business, we recommend a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the closing market price of $0.325, down by ~1.516% as on 13 January 2022.
