On a very basic level, its interesting to look at why companies float and to take some note of what the nature of risk is, that they are passing over to new investors.

Contrast companies like KLBT that have a business model that works well, who float and then change the model (in this case and a few others I've seen, moving to SAAS which hits short term revenue growth), also entering new markets (not just geographical expansions).

versus those like Gear4music, ASOS, Boohoo, who have a model and are simply expanding it geographically.

or those like IDEA that have floated in order to grow by acquisition in a fragmented market, but without actually changing the market they work in or the service/products they provide.

I wonder if collected all together and analysed there would be a pattern of success/failure for new investors. If somehow you could remove duff non-growth markets and BS BOD's before doing the analysis.

When I see interviews with CEO's and listen to some of the stuff, it does become apparent that many of them are no different from the people who turn up on Dragon's Den and overvalue their businesses.

Can't blame them, they're heavily involved, know a lot about their market, have worked hard, its grown well etc. But in the end its the value to investors that counts. I imagine some of them are genuinely puzzled by share price drops, when they are actually running a successful business.

There's no doubt KLBT are successful.

Unimpressive results for a supposedly growth company. Looking to invest into Elecosoft if price permits.

Agree with you yump.
Also like the business model but also thought it on a premium rating for a while.

PBT $0.1m for H1 vs a £34m market cap. Believe that estimates for PBT in 2016 are $2.2m (£1.5m) following exceptionals & share based payments of $600k.

Too rich for me.

Kalibrate Technologies well placed for fuel market changes

Why Invest In KLBT? The Big Picture
Kalibrate provides pricing data to BP's forecourts

Petrol forecourt software specialist Kalibrate Technologies (LON:KLBT) has the ideal mix of experience and reputation in a market that looks set to take off over the next five years.

Kalibrate is hoping to benefit from burgeoning global demand from fuel retailers for petrol market data and analytics.

It already has more than 300 clients worldwide and has just renewed a big contract with oil giant BP (LON:BP.).

But the company is looking to drill into new markets such as Mexico and India, which are easing back on regulation.

Chief executive Bob Stein sees a lot more countries following their lead.

"If we look out over five years, we see a lot of growth and a significant positive impact for our company as more and more countries deregulate the fuel price,” he said.

More companies in the fuel retailing business are looking for the latest analysis and data management tools to help them make better decisions, and Kalibrate believes this is where its two-part business model for fuel retailers comes into its own.

Firstly, it provides data to retail fuel forecourts, with analysis on local competitors’ prices, historic rates and even on whether the time of day has an impact on the fee it should charge for fuel.

In essence, it allows companies to adjust their prices based on data in almost real-time.

But it also has a planning services division, which helps retailers decide whether or not it is beneficial to open a new site in a certain location.

Stein said: "All retailers are spending loads of capital on their network.

"They are building new sites and refurbishing existing ones," he said, and Kalibrate provides the information to help analyse which would yield the maximum return.

The figures certainly seem to back this up, with revenues for its planning division rising 2% to US$11mln, accounting for around a third of Kalibrate’s business.

The company is always seeking new additions to its customer list, as shown by its deal with supermarket giant Morrisons in August.

It is also looking to renew contracts, with its reliability highlighted by the recent deal to continue its relationship with oil giant BP.

Stein said: "We have done business with BP for a long time, a couple of decades, on various projects around the world as they have grown."

Part of the attraction of Kalibrate is that it operates in 58 countries globally and can track market data and trends in each.

It is this wealth of data that appeals to the likes of BP, which uses both parts of Kalibrate’s business for its thousands of petrol forecourts around the world.

"The whole fuel retail marketplace is extremely competitive, as it always has been, and the best retailers are looking for ways they can understand their business and then make decisions on a more informed basis,” Stein said.

"Whether that’s on pricing on the forecourts on a day-to-day basis, or in the case of BP where they are looking to grow in other parts of the world…we have the ability to provide that.”

The biggest area of growth for Kalibrate, Stein said, is in emerging countries that are de-regulating, or getting prepared to de-regulate the fuel price.

When this happens, the market goes from stable to competitive in a very short space of time, with retailers already in the market needing help adjusting to the new conditions.

This also means more foreign investment, with companies such as BP using Kalibrate for quick market analysis to determine whether the area is lucrative enough for a site, and where best to put it.

Stein points to countries such as India, as well as others in Africa and South East Asia, which have either de-regulated or are in the process of doing so, as big growth opportunities.

Most recently, Mexico de-regulated its fuel price, presenting a unique opportunity for Kalibrate.

“We look at this closely because we know we can help the oil companies and the fuel retailers already in the market and we know the western companies will now want to be in this market as well,” Stein said.

With more countries looking to do the same, N+1 Singer expects the company continue to grow in the next few years.

By 2017, the broker expects the firm to improve sales by around 18% to US$39.5mln while pre-tax profit should rise by more than a quarter.

All this leaves the firm on a pretty reasonable price/earnings multiple of 14.1 by 2017.

So, with more than 300 clients, relationships with some of the world’s biggest fuel retailers and a trustworthy and reliable brand, Kalibrate could be a good bet to take advantage of market changes, and accelerate growth, over the next few years.

I think the P/E of 24 isn't demanding and i don't expect to see the tail off we had previously thought.

Kalibrate Technologies - FY results
Good progress shown with revenues up 13% to $32.5m and underlying PBT up 6.7% to $3.2m. The Company continues to expand geographically, with 9 new territories entered during the year, and the transition to the visibility and security of revenues from a SaaS proposition continues.
There has been a 'solid' start to the current year, and they have announced an encouraging exclusive Reseller deal with Clear Demand to cover in-store merchandise. They are the first fuel price advisor to add convenience stores to the expanded proposition, but note that both their FD and CEO benefit from prior retail experience.
Net cash was $4.6m at end of June, so the Board's confidence for the future seems well placed.

And again....

Exclusive Reseller Partnership expands Kalibrate's offering to include in-store merchandise and promotions pricing
- Kalibrate Announces End-to-End Pricing Capability for the Fuel and Convenience Retail Industry -
- Strategic differentiation expands Kalibrate's market size globally -

Kalibrate Technologies plc (AIM: KLBT), the provider of strategy and technology services to the global fuel and convenience retail industry, today announces that it has entered into a partnership with Clear Demand, Inc., ("Clear Demand"), an omnichannel demand management company that serves global retailers with software and services which improve and advance omnichannel retail operations.

Under the terms of the partnership, Kalibrate will have full global exclusivity to provide fuel and convenience retailers with in-store merchandise and promotions pricing capabilities, white-labelled under the Kalibrate brand.

By adding this new solution and service to the Group's existing fuel Pricing and Planning services, Kalibrate will be the only business decision platform that enables visibility and control of the entire fuel and convenience retail industry, from forecourt to in-store. This strategic differentiation expands Kalibrate's market size globally and strengthens the Group's position as the industry leader. Kalibrate is pleased to announce that it has already entered into initial pilot/beta programs with four clients.

The new merchandise and promotions pricing tools will be available through the Kalibrate Cloud Pricing module, one of the Group's Software-As-A-Service ("SaaS") offerings. Kalibrate's Strategy Group division will focus on promoting the new service which will provide clients with the sophisticated and competitive pricing strategies required for scalable success in today's competitive fuel and convenience retail markets.

Commenting on the partnership, Bob Stein, president and CEO of Kalibrate, said:

"This is an exciting time for Kalibrate. The Group is already a global market leader in the provision of fuel pricing and fuel planning technology. This partnership provides us with the best technology to offer our clients to help them price their in-store merchandise, which is a critical element of any fuel and convenience retail operation."

"All fuel and convenience retailers want to understand the relationship between the forecourt and in-store. Going forward, the real key to fuel-retail growth is connecting the synergy between fuel stops and purchases in the store. With this enhanced Pricing offering, we can create additional value for our clients and this move will expand Kalibrate's addressable market globally."

Thanks GHF for posting those figures, leaves this looking a rather longer term hold, I hope to see those numbers are on the very cautious side and given the strength in the share price I'm sticking with it for now to see the benefit of the higher recurring revenues with the SAAS model.

Added recently following Techinvest update. KLBT made their 2nd half Best Buy list with a rating of 8. Cash of 11.5p at the interims. Looks good here as more clients takeup deals on SaaS basis. dyor

Not sure what to make of latest shareholding reshuffle since Azini Capital, which is now KLBT's second biggest shareholder with a 19% stake, has been described in the media as a specialist at buying stakes in early-stage companies from now-disillusioned original investors.
Azini appears to have taken up the 6m plus shares sold by Eurovestech, Robert Keith and Moore Capital. Eurovestech, which has nearly halved its stake to 11.5% stake, was one of KLBT's founding shareholders, and was expected to reduce its stake at some stage. I think Moore Capital, came in at the time of last year's IPO at 79p a share. Robert Keith, an investor, appears to have bought in after the IPO but then changed his mind.
The substantial change of shareholding less than a year after KLBT's IPO is a little unnerving at first sight. KLBT's reports its maiden results for the year ending 30 June 2014 on September 9th and there was nothing in its June 24th trading update to suggest that it was going to surprise on the downside. Indeed it expected to deliver revenue "slightly ahead of market expectations" and its underlying Ebitda was expected to be "comfortably ahead" of current market expectations.
Judging by its website Azini seems to be a reasonably experienced investor in technology companies. Typically, it holds investments for around 3 to 5 years, and likes to acquire greater than 10% holdings in businesses which have more than $10m of revenue. It aims to "liberate value by providing portfolio companies with the additional time and/or fresh capital required to realize maximum value".
Most of its investments are unquoted but it does own a 14.3% stake, worth around £7m, in another Aim-quoted stock - Amino Technologies, a designer of internet-enabled set-top boxes.
Invesco Perpetual remains KLBT's biggest shareholder with 35.4%, and KLBT's three biggest shareholders – Invesco Perpetual, Azini and Eurovestech – hold 65.9%. The next four institutions – Hargreave Hale, BlackRock, Henderson and F&C – own another20%.
Still unsure whether Anzini's arrival is a vote of confidence in KLBT's strategy/management, or a sign that something needs to change. Not having the same access to the company as the current institutions worth watching whether any more well known institutional names head for the exit.
