Posted at 24/1/2017 12:40 by yump 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. |
Posted at 15/3/2016 09:35 by yump 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. |
Posted at 09/12/2015 12:05 by aishah Kalibrate Technologies well placed for fuel market changesWhy 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. proactiveinvestors.c |

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.

With this enhanced Pricing offering, we can create additional value for our clients and this move will expand Kalibrate's addressable market globally." |
Posted at 11/8/2015 10:14 by bottomfisher Completely agree with yump. Contacted the company's brokers and investor relations contacts to confirm the earlier reports on this board of the substantial profit downgrades by the broker. They all refused to confirm/deny that there had been any change in the broker forecasts on grounds that they were not allowed to talk to private investors. The fact that the company is not paying a dividend, has switched its reporting currency from £ to $, and now seems to be managed from the US made me sell out at a small profit, and reinvest in a company with a more investor friendly management. |
Posted at 03/7/2015 09:51 by aishah 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 |
Posted at 03/7/2015 03:17 by gargleblaster bb2 - this looks v. interesting - have had KLBT on the watchlist for some time. It may be time to "dip a toe in". |
Posted at 15/5/2015 12:17 by battlebus2 Kalibrate Tech (KLBT; AIM) 105.5pWe met with Kalibrate following its results for the six months to December 31 which showed excellent progress against all of the objectives stated at the IPO in 2013. Revenue grew 11% to $15.6m, while EBITDA was 18% ahead at $2.3m. Underlying pre-tax operating profit edged higher to $1.8m from $1.7m in the first half last time. Cash at period end was $5.6m (equivalent to 11.5p per share). Revenues for Pricing products rose 15.5% to $10.2m following strong growth in Europe and the addition of a number of new clients. Planning products increased 2.7% to $5.4m, driven by growth in North America from cross-selling to Pricing clients. At the start of the second half, the Company’s order book stood at $23.6m, an increase of 13%. Kalibrate invested in the sales resource during the first half. This has strengthened the North American and Europe teams, where there has been an increase in cross-selling. The Company has also expanded its international footprint into South East Asia and Australia, allowing easier access to the markets which have planned deregulation in the near future. Kalibrate intends to grow its recurring revenue base by introducing SaaS and managed services offerings. Nine clients signed pricing deals on a SaaS basis during the first half, more than had been expected; this represented $2.9m of bookings. The transition to SaaS is usually accompanied by a decline in revenues as the usual upfront licence fee is spread over the life of the contract. For Kalibrate, though, this has not been the case, with revenue growth from other customers and products more than offsetting revenue delayed from SaaS. The Company now has $20.7m of annualised recurring revenue. Overseas expansion continues as planned, which will support future growth as new markets deregulate their fuel retail prices. Kalibrate has multiple opportunities for growth, including deregulation in new markets and increasing competition in mature markets which should drive demand for the Company’ s solutions. Strong hold. |
