RPMGlobal Holdings Limited (ASX: RUL) 

RUL is an enterprise technology, advisory and training provider to the mining industry. Its technology solutions are for mine design, planning and scheduling, simulation and operations, asset management, and finance across one enterprise platform.

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at AUD 1.575

  • Financial Performance: FY23 saw double-digit revenue growth, backed by jump in software and advisory revenues. RUL reported an operating profit after tax of AUD 5.1mn in FY23, compared with a loss of AUD 3.4mn in FY22. The period saw expansion of the company’s product footprint with the purchase of different assets including AMT Mobile, XECUTE, and ShiftManager. The company acquired private Tasmanian SaaS company Splashback Solutions and broadened its client base.
  • Outlook: RUL expects to register revenue in the range of AUD 105-110mn, underlying EBITDA of AUD 17.5-19.5mn and profit before tax of AUD 12.5-14.0mn in FY24. Focus remains on continued investment in product development, and advisory and software pipelines.
  • Emerging Risks: RUL is exposed to risks arising from its failure to keep its technology products or infrastructure protected from cyber-attacks or any other such events.
  • Overvalued Multiples: On a forward 12-month basis, key valuation multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, Price/Earnings) are higher than the median of Technology Industry.
