Cyber Security Firm's 50 Percent Drop Fuels Takeover Speculation
by Joe Easton
‎22‎ ‎February̴6; ‎2017‎ ‎11‎:206;35‎ ‎GMT
NCC’s market value halves as it slashes 2017 profit forecasts
Company is now ‘in-play’; as an M&A target, Shore Capital says
NCC Group plc’s third profit warning since October triggered a 50 percent slump in its share price over two trading sessions, prompting a London broker to suggest the Manchester, England-based cyber-security consultancy could become a takeover target.
In a statement issued late Tuesday, the company announced a review into its assurance division, which performed below expectations, and cut its full-year profit outlook by 20 percent.
NCC shares were down 26 percent at 94.25 pence at 11:30 a.m. in London. The company’s market capitalization, which stood at just over 1 billion pounds ($1.18 billion) prior to a profit warning four months ago, has now dropped to about 250 million pounds.
The share price decline means the company is now “in-play,̶1; Shore Capital said, noting that NCC will appoint external consultants to lead the review. “We believe disposals, a breakup of the group or indeed a full sale may come under consideration,”; the broker said in a note to clients.
A spokesman for NCC declined to comment on whether the company would work toward a sale, or on the future of its Chief Executive Officer Rob Cotton. NCC’s chairman of 17 years Paul Mitchell stepped down in January, with senior independent director and Restaurant Group chairman Debbie Hewitt tasked with finding a replacement.
Hewitt will be “crucial”; in deciding the direction of the company, Shore Capital said.
NCC was founded in 1999 when the commercial arm of the National Computing Center, established by the U.K. government to encourage personal computer use, was bought out by its management team.

@Dontay

No one could have seen that trading update coming if you looked at previous RNS, to say any different is blatently lying.

On a positive this low price has stired up a lot of interest from PIs and no doubt larger firms, would be nice to see correction back up. Currently 10% of lows this morning.

This is the way I see it chart wise, possible the market makers have bear trapped below that support level if it can pop back above major resistance/support at about 100p and hold then looking at a very strong move north.

Pivotal line imo.

With a low pound NCC is wide open for a bid. I do not think it is far away. Another UK company heading for the USA.

Not to worry Spoole, we've all been 'caught in the headlights', its not surprising to panic in the light of events. I'm surprised I'm still here, having previously endured warnings but committed by earlier large positions, in the belief that the sector is so blatantly a 'growth area' and should be worth investing in. It's such a pity the management seemingly can't handle it.

IN THE KNOW: New Profit Warning Could Put NCC In Play - Shore

[22-February-2017]

Sam Unsted

LONDON (Alliance News) - NCC Group could become a takeover target or indeed put itself up for sale following its latest profit warning, a statement which suggests a serious slowdown for its Assurance arm in recent weeks, analysts said.


Shares in NCC were down 26% at 93.25 pence Wednesday morning.


On Tuesday, NCC issued another profit warning for its current financial year and said it has initiated a strategic review of the business, which will include a review of its Assurance arm.


NCC - which provides software escrow and verification, cyber security consulting and managed services - said trading in its Assurance arm in the year to the end of May will be "significantly lower" than it had previously anticipated.


Due to this, NCC said its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the year will be around 20% lower than the GBP45.5 million to GBP47.5 million range it provided in December, which had already been downgraded.


In light of the deteriorating trading, NCC said it will initiated a review of its business and will closely consider its Assurance arm, with regards to how it operates and how it sells its products. The review will also consider how NCC can better use its assets and resources across the business.


In light of its "seemingly comforting" interim results in January, Shore Capital's Robin Speakman and Ben McSkelly said the warning from NCC on Tuesday suggests a "severe drop-off" in the performance of the Assurance division.


"Given the strategic position that NCC holds in the provision of IT Assurance and security services, where we believe long term demand continues to grow, we believe that NCC should be regarded as potentially being in play," the analysts said, suggesting NCC may become a takeover target following the battering it shares have taken.


The analysts reckon the position of NCC Chief Executive Rob Cotton will now come under "heavy scrutiny" and that the strategic review may well see a sale or break-up of the group considered.


Shore downgraded NCC to Hold from Buy.


N+1 Singer analyst Oliver Knott said an "extended period of uncertainty" is now on the horizon for NCC, which will "make it hard for investors to gain confidence" in the company in the short term.


Yet, Knott said he sees "fundamental value" in NCC stock. The company's Escrow arm is not impacted by the warning and, at the current share price, its Assurance arm trades at only 5 times calendarised 2017 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.


Still, while this looks like an attractive multiple for a "rare cybersecurity asset", Knott said he will await more clarity on the underlying nature of the issues NCC faces.


He kept his recommendation on NCC at Hold with an unchanged 138p price target.
