Posted at 26/4/2024 15:55 by apotheki British cybersecurity firm Darktrace on Friday announced it had agreed a sale to U.S. private equity giant Thoma Bravo, for an all-cash offer of $5.315 million.Investors are set to receive $7.75 in cash for each share held, under the terms recommended by the board. Its move private will be seen as a major blow to the London Stock Exchange, where it listed in 2021. The company was seen as a welcome dynamic addition to a market often characterized as less appealing to technology firms than those in the U.S. or Asia, and stacked with “old economy” players, such as miners and oil and gas companies. Darktrace specifically referenced its belief that it is undervalued in the U.K. as a reason for the sale. In a statement, it said its board believes the firm’s operational and financial “achievements& Darktrace was founded in 2013 and is based in the U.K. city of Cambridge, which has attracted a cluster of tech firms over the last decade. It specializes in artificial intelligence-based protection against cloud attacks for large companies and events, and has roughly 2,300 employees based worldwide. Thoma Bravo said the acquisiton would increase its exposure to the large and growing cybersecurity market, and that its investment in Darktrace would help scale the business globally. The deal represents a 44.3% premium to the average volume-weighted Darktrace share price in the three months to April 25, according to the release. |

Posted at 14/2/2024 07:33 by halfpenny STILL IN THE DARK!!!TOO RISKY ITS A GAMBLE WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY...? Quintessential Capital Management is SHORT shares of Darktrace Plc (“LSE: Dark”) QCM Darktrace Report RDTDownload QCM follow up response to DTDownload •We targeted Darktrace (“DT”) with a deep investigation into its business model, selling practices, international partnerships, and sales force •We are skeptical about the validity of DT’s financial statements and fear that sales, margins, and growth rates may be overstated and close to a sharp correction. •Detected numerous transactions in the period leading to DT’s IPO seemingly involving simulated or anticipated sales to phantom end-users through a network of resellers. •DT seems to have repeatedly used marketing activities to channel funds back into its partners as payment for apparently fictitious purchases •These alleged channel stuffing and round-tripping activities may have involved shell companies in offshore jurisdictions manned by individuals with ties to organized crime, money-laundering, and fraud •We have detected a pattern of transactions suggesting that a portion of Darktrace’s past recurring software sales may instead be one-off sales of hardware appliances •Accounting anomalies involving deferred revenue suggest possible problems with DT’s revenue recognition, providing a potentially misleading picture about the Company’s cash generation. •Presence of serious accounting red flags consistent with reality detected in the field •Multiple executives, board members, line managers not adequately disclosing their involvement with Autonomy and selling shares •Increasing competition, questionable product value, “front loading” of existing contracts, high churn rates and lack of sustainable cash generation, point to a rapid, possibly sharp, deterioration financials •Employment, website traffic and search volume metric suggest a sharp slowdown may be underway We are of the opinion that Darktrace’s financial statements may not be relied upon as the company looks like a sophisticated replica of the Autonomy debacle Quintessential Capital Management is SHORT shares of Darktrace Plc (“LSE: Dark”) |
Posted at 13/2/2024 04:54 by halfpenny DARKTRACE - STRONG STAY AWAY!!!Show us the Details!!! More from City A.M..... When activist hedge fund Quintessential launched a short attack against London-listed tech darling DARKTRACE in January, the charge sheet was SERIOUS. Among a lengthy list of MISDEMEANOURS, DARKTRACE, Quintessential said, had seemingly “SIMULATED or anticipated SALES to PHANTOM end users”, repeatedly used marketing activities to “channel funds back into its partners” and may have used “SHELL COMPANIES in offshore jurisdictions manned by individuals with ties to organised CRIME, MONEY-LAUNDERING and FRAUD”. It should however be noted DARKTRACE has REFUSED to publish the report in full, and Quintessential has called on the firm to “fully unveil the details of the EY review” and facilitate an “open dialogue on its findings. “Given the SEVERITY of our allegations, we believe this situation warrants a significantly higher level of transparency, which DARKTRACE has yet to provide.” TOO RISKY..Smoke and Mirrors!! NO TRANSPARENCY!! DARK DAYS AHEAD...!! Now 150-175p Target!! |

Posted at 01/2/2023 15:15 by bbmsionlypostafter mk2 Wednesday, February 1, 2023Re: Follow up questions concerning Darktrace Darktrace has issued a lame “non-response& Or rather, given Darktrace’s association with Autonomy, “don’t trust and verify”. Given the gravity of what we allege, Darktrace should provide quick, concise, and factual answers as a duty to its investors and to the market. Should the substance of the allegations be confirmed correct, we expect Darktrace’s executives to admit their responsibility and resign at once. None of our concerns have been addressed, so we have compiled a list of follow up questions for the company: 1) What is the nature of Darktrace’s relationship with Strategic Bridge Monaco and why did Strategic Bridge present its partnership with Darktrace sponsoring a motorcycle team whose CEO had just been arrested for fake invoicing and money laundering for the Italian mafia? 2) Why are there as many as four companies named “Strategic Bridge” in different countries all claiming to be resellers of Darktrace? Why do these companies have similar beneficial owners, websites and show few signs of obvious operations? 3) What is the relationship between Darktrace, I-quasar and Strategic bridge? Have any circular transactions been taking place between these entities? 4) Which clients bought Darktrace’s product through Strategic Bridge, I-Quasar, and Strategic Risk Consulting? 5) Why does a former director of Strategic Bridge and current director of I-Quasar figure in a criminal investigation concerning a $2bn VAT dodging fraud? 6) Has Darktrace sold anything to suspected shell company Alfatrade & Services? Why does this company have seemingly no employees, website traffic or an office but has a turnover of $31m? 7) Has Darktrace sold its products to Bolton Group via HWG? Has that revenue been booked? Why does Bolton’s Group IT manager claim that no sale took place? 8) Has Darktrace sold its system to the Verona airport through its partner Eurosystem? Has the Airport ever paid for such purchase? Why did Eurosystem hold three cyber events sponsored by Darktrace shortly after that “sale”? Why were the related webpages deleted? How much did Darktrace pay for such sponsorship? 9) What was the amount of Darktrace’s sale to Bonfiglioli through its partner Yarix/VAR? Was there a price gap between the price paid by the end user and the one paid the partner? Was the event in Rimini hosted by Yarix/VAR sponsored by Darktrace for a comparable amount of the price gap? 10) Has Darktrace booked a sale to Maserati (a renewal) in July 2020? Has Maserati renewed the sale? Was such sale ever charged back? 11) What is the nature of Darktrace’s relationship with Multicomputos? Which clients have purchased Darktrace’s product through such Central American partner? Why did Darktrace sponsor a marketing event organized by this partner? What was the amount of the sponsorship? Was the amount comparable to the amount of the purchases made by Multicomputos? 12) Please provide a table comparing the amounts purchased and the end user identities for the purchases made by the following partners: a. PC System srl b. Project Informatica c. Alkimia Consultores d. Newtech (Malta) e. Omnitech IT f. Eurosystem g. Strategic Risk Consulting (RHO), Strategic Bridge (Pavia), Strategic Bridge (Lugano), Strategic Bridge (Monaco) h. Infinite Insight, Nap IT Solutions, Calibra, Inquest, TBSEK, Proctiv, AVB Group, Hanzolo, Ipway Networks, ALASCOM SRL, Quantum Security Solutions, GlobalSequr, NetSpec, Kilele, Ifinet Srl, HadronBit, Perfitcom, Bolton Technologies 13) What is the nature of Darktrace’s relationship with the Innovation Group? 14) Why has deferred revenue (long term) dropped from 33% to 8% of sales in five years? Which procedures are in place to make sure that deferred revenue is not booked as actual revenue? 15) Has Darktrace sold a sizeable portion of its product up to 2020 as “capex” rather than “opex” as stated in the annual reports? 16) Why have we found multiple instances of contracts online clearly pointing to Capex sales? 17) What is meant by the mixed “capex/opex&rd 18) How many “immaterial&rd 19)How much revenue does Darktrace generates from Malta, Cyprus and Monaco (relatively small markets)? 20) What % of DT’s marketing budget is used to sponsor partners’ events? 21) Is the huge % of SG&A expenses (mostly marketing) explained by the fact that DT frequently rewards its partners through sponsorships and participation to marketing events as an incentive to engage in anticipated sales and ‘backfilling&r 22) Why is there an apparent 15% gap between the 5% commission salespeople claim to receive [source: Glassdoor] and the 20% that we estimated appeared on the 2021 financial statements? 23) According to DT’s statements, Darktrace was paying Invoke Capital over $4m for “management support services”. Please clarify in detail the nature of the services provided by Invoke Capital to Darktrace. Were Mike Lynch and Sushovan Hussain remotely running the company? 24) How come most of the executives we profiled in our report did not disclose their prior affiliation with Autonomy Plc in their biography appearing on DT’s website? 25) How come was Mr. Corrado Broli hired at Darktrace with the same position he held at Autonomy despite the allegations that emerged during the Autonomy lawsuit? 26) Why has the quality of account receivables been rapidly deteriorating in the last couple of years reaching as much as 12% of sales (including bad debt and credit loss provisions)? 27) Why have many executives and directors been selling stock aggressively in the recent months?
