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 14:04 by proactivest Video interview with Bob SteinBob Stein, chief executive officer at Kalibrate (LON:KLBT), the supplier of strategy and technology solutions for fuel retailers, discusses interim results with Proactive Investors and explains the fall in profitability results from delayed pricing deals. He is confident the company will reach its full-year targets and believes the current volatility across oil markets actually increase the need for more sophisticated pricing and planning solutions like the ones Kalibrate offers. Stein says Kalibrate has a very healthy pipeline" in both mature and new markets like India, Mexico and some countries in South East Asia. |
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 11/9/2015 09:08 by yump Very curious about this one, although I'm out.Judging by the share price movements on small buys and sells, perhaps the shares are extremely tightly held and all looking well ahead for the time when the new model kicks in and puts profit growth back to where it was going to be, as the rating on the forecasts is now racey. Or, from a cynics point of view, perhaps there hasn't been sufficient rise from float, for the pre-float investors to consider selling in any volume. Still seems that it should be a very reliable and secure business model, servicing other businesses that need to monitor and control pricing. So the more pricing volatility, the more demand, in theory. |
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 10/3/2015 15:02 by battlebus2 Proactive investors have a chat with the CEO which is worth a listen, can't post the link unfortunately. |
Posted at 09/1/2015 17:51 by glasshalfull Good to see you here yump. We're sharing a number of stocks at the moment.I was surprised to see that KBLT hadn't enjoyed any upward movement as witnessed in many other small caps during the post-Santa rally. Like your good self, also believed that their product suite would be in demand with the level of oil price volatility we've witnessed doing the last 3 months. Quite interesting to note that while KBLT have been tipped on numerous occasions in 2014, there was a distinct lack of interest in the company with the last bulletin board update before today taking place in early November, and I'm also surprised at lack of SCSW subscribers piling in here, save for a few small trades this afternoon. So absolutely no froth in the shareprice. Certainly seems like a quality growth business and part of my strategy over recent months has been to pick up these quality stocks with excellent levels of recurring revenue (companies such as IDEA, BDI, BRY and SOLI) which are moving to a reduced dependence on securing licence deals to meet forecasts e.g. see warnings from SVR today & ESCH yesterday. KLBT announced that recurring revenues had increased from $15.6m to $19.6m recurring revs last year, 70% of total revenues. Investors will be pleased to note this contract win today MANCHESTER, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kalibrate, provider of strategy and technology solutions to the global fuel retail industry, is pleased to announce that Metro Oil has purchased the Kalibrate Cloud pricing solution and will implement it at all of its fuel retail locations in the Philippines.

Posted at 09/9/2014 13:08 by bottomfisher Results seem OK. But lack of dividend may have upset the market.There is a video interview with Bob Stein, the ceo, on the Proactive investors website. For some reason I can't post the link onto this message. Best to Google Proactive and then input KLBT into the search area and you should be able to find the video link |
Posted at 20/8/2014 19:35 by bottomfisher 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. |
