Grafenia (GRA)
We anticipate a trading update shortly.
Regarding trading, we anticipate no change from the agm statement
of “broadly in line”. The economic background is not the key driver
here: what matters is Grafenia’s offering to its client base and how it
can expand its client base. Financially, time is on Grafenia’s side. Its
business base with printing franchises is cash generative and its
printing ‘hub’ is well invested and running at very decent utilisation
rates. In another way, this as per itself is not enough. Grafenia is
certainly nothing if not innovative and that innovation is driven both
bottom-up (what its franchisees and what the franchisee customers
need) and from the strategic ‘top down.’
Two years into significant overhead and design investment, Grafenia’s
printing side has expanded to enable end users to web-design their
material using a Grafenia template. Today, start-up businesses are
going to the web designer first and Grafenia is the platform for them
to have easy-to-use design template, ready to go. Print is the back
end, cloud web design enablement is the front end. This expansionary
move gives two converging business streams (web design and
printing). Grafenia in a strong position to grab significant market
share.
Nettl, Grafenia's new 'cross media' franchise offering, embracing Web,
Apps, Design, ecommerce as well a printing (W3P) will launch at the
National Franchise Exhibition, this week. “We’d like to see at least 50
franchisees that share our vision move across [to Nettl] whilst still
keeping Printing.com as a secondary brand. This is all about winning
clients and if we can win them in two ways rather than just one and
then cross-sell the other services that puts us in a stronger position”
says CEO Tony Rafferty. The Manchester and Birmingham studios are
the first of four Grafenia-owned Printing.com studios to switch over to
the Nettl format, with London just opened and Dublin to come
imminently, then others. Then there is Marqetspace, another
relatively recent initiative aimed towards graphic designers, which
successfully launched early 2014 and is generating significant revenue.

ANOTHER PROJECT, more chasing dreams and promises of jam tomorrow or a real hope of progress. ?

169 thousand views. must be getting some orders.

Some buying this morning, including a top up for me. Not surprising considering the positive statement late last week.

Cester tells ProPrint that Whirlwind's partnership with Grafenia plc has produced 'an Australianised product integrated with our database' which will launch 16-year-old Whirlwind Print, based at Knoxfield in Melbourne's south east, into a new era of print logistics.

He says the system has just gone live at Whirlwind, however there are over 1000 users of the system worldwide and growing, and there have already been several sales to undisclosed Australian print clients at launch.

Still on the way up. Good divi 1.33, forecast 1.7 next year. Still 8.5% yield. Undervalued. Do your own research.

We're building a lot of new initiatives and these things take a little time to get off the blocks, but we think we now have the right elements in place and we're now trading ahead of where we were this time last year," said Grafenia chief executive Tony Rafferty.

"Remember these are legacy results going back to April 2013, when W3P was all cost and no revenue, whereas we're now heading towards a hundred users and the elements are coming into line where we can move the business forward."

Pleased with the divi. Imagine there is a time delay with income from w3p. Look forward to increased figures at 6 months. Keep up the forward vision Tony and company

[purplerain2] 09/6/2014 07:38

Love the income and look forward to moving forward and upward. The dark days are over. Hopefully

[wskill] 09/6/2014 07:34

Well done to management for the first 2 months of this new year trading is ahead of last year Printing.com revenue is holding up better than I had hoped still on the decline but being replaced by the cloud offering and 1p final dividend excellent result and another share buyback promised I would rather management invested this buy back cash in the business that is my only small complaint.

[dd776] 04/6/2014 15:16

Where is all the people coming from. Get another bus

Hydrus, you make me smile...

It's like Wikipedia but for stocks. In fact if you replaced the wiki with stock and slipped in an o after stock you'd have the company. Think you need to subscribe though.

[hybrasil] 03/6/2014 20:32

Hydrus

Would you spell the rival company name backwards. That couldnt be censored!

[hydrus] 03/6/2014 14:46

10% dividend yield. PE ratio of 7, cash generative - happy for them to keep making money in this declining market. Plus they are clearly looking outside of the traditional areas.

[she-ra] 03/6/2014 12:46

Hence the rise. I expect a sell off when the results come out. Profit seems to be decreasing year by year as more and more people switch to digital rather than print.

[hydrus] 03/6/2014 12:43

Hmm odd I guess the rival company's name is censored on here?!

[hydrus] 03/6/2014 12:25

- - there is an article by john lee on there and it's at bottom of article

[hybrasil] 03/6/2014 11:43

hydrus
Where do you find the john lee screen?

[playful] 03/6/2014 11:32

Very strong move today

[hydrus] 03/6/2014 11:11

There we go I knew it. Any buying will push this forward as limited stock available. I see this came up in the John Lee screen on -.
