It has always been an issue for PEN, largely given the nature of the large defence contracts and timing of payments. That said, increased focus on the software element and ARR should mitigate that somewhat going forward and provide for increased visibility.

Broker summary from this morning.

Cross-party agreement that defence is a growing priority, and globally an enhanced focus on defence, are likely to bring further benefits to PEN, which has long-standing relationships with major defence OEMs and with governments in relation to its sophisticated training software and products. We note positive developments on cash post the period end, which more than bring the latest reported net cash position of the company into alignment with our year end forecasts. We anticipate a cash-generative year in FY24E and also that the business will continue to invest in its faster growing and more profitable activities. Our net cash forecast for FY24E is shaved to £1.2m (was: £1.8m) to allow for further investment. This said, we expect that the software investment wave is likely to reduce in the coming year, leading to further increased cash generation and profitability. Otherwise, our forecasts are left intact, and we are encouraged by the management’s statements re the outlook. Our fair value estimate remains at 65p at this point; hence we see good potential upside for the shares.

The shareholder's roster is very interesting. Richard Staveley (Rockwood) holds 7.46% and Laurence Hulse (Onwards opportunities) took a 3.35% holding in November.

PEN are in a red hot sector at the moment and are hopefully bidding on more work than previously. Sticky clients, good recurring revenue and focus on software and technical services.

Cash at end 2022 of £1.1m. Mkt Cap £11m with a robust order book, 12mth rolling fcst p/e 7.4 and a peg of 0.4

Nice to see you here and also rivaldo too.Aside the various moving parts I'm very interested to know how the GD next Ajax phase will pan out.Given a contract decision has to be made by June at the latest and with PEN having delivered on the first phase I'd guess it's looking increasingly likely that they will get the deal they want. At this stage, it would surely be problematic for GD to go elsewhere given another player would be starting from scratch!

"Britain to build supersonic fighter jets under historic deal with Japan and Italy" the agreement is being signed today. You would think there might be good levels of business both IPS software and Simulation for us with this program as will include involvement from the UK of BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo UK and MBDA UK all of whom are existing customers of PEN

Agree with that Mas.WH Ireland comment below. Pennant International – PEN - Corporate – New Pennant, new partnership, attractive beachhead in training information management systemsMarket Cap £14m Share Price 38pThis morning's Reach announcement from PEN highlights a further step forward for the company as it continues to grow the software orientation of the business. We anticipate that the new partner, Aquila Learning Ltd, will form an attractive enhancement of PEN's capabilities in training information management systems based on Aquila's Learning and Requirements/Resource/Record Management System (ALaRMS). The agreement is expected to provide a platform for growth to PEN's partner, given PEN's extensive client list in the UK and elsewhere, while from a PEN perspective, it meaningfully extends the company's integrated product software suite in a clearly complementary area, adding to existing strong software-based skill-sets of the company in areas such as analysis and design, modelling and virtual publications / maintenance, together with other virtual databases and channels.This morning's newsflow comes on the back of the company's July 19th update which highlighted significant revenue cover for the current year (90%-plus), revenues 50%-plus recurring in nature, software licencing / related revenues approaching half the total, and a significant upswing from the prior year in profitability and margins. On the latter score, gross margins at 47% in H1-23 play 41% in the previous H1, a significant improvement, while the EBITDA margin doubled YoY and EBITA also rose substantially. WHI view: we view this morning's announcement as a further reflection of the positive direction now taken by PEN – its software activities are much more profitable than the traditional training equipment activities, and this looks to be an excellent fit in that context. We believe that the significant data inputs that PEN currently receives as a matter of course from its clients will now find a further outlet for future activity supportive of PEN's clients. Beyond this, more generally, we note strong statements of progress from OEM's in PEN's core defence sector, including perennial clients of the company such as BAE, and in general a strong platform for growth in areas where PEN's is skilled, such as the efficient use and maintenance of complex equipment ranging from defence to infrastructure, areas which continue to see good growth based on increasing complexity, the enhanced demand for efficiency and the strong defence sector. We retain our £15.5m revenue / £1.3m adj. PBT / 3.5p EPS forecast for the current year unchanged ahead of PEN's interim results, which are expected on September 27th. For the present, we are sticking with our 65p current fair value benchmark.

Decent TU in-line, with momentum building.Given the global defence spend now at record levels, PEN looks ideally placed to deliver with increasing levels of recurring revenue. PE of 10 falling to under 9 and move back into a net cash position highlights the discount on offer.

Net cash position of £1.6m forecast for year close and pushing on next year, so with the revenues building and a positive swing on margins and increasing ARR the current mkt cap/valuation is increasingly attractive.When the Bear finally retreats, PEN will hopefully move sharply northwards.

Pleased you approve 40 Fathoms.I agree with you, re-the Canadian contract and it was touched on when I spoke with them. I feel they're pretty confident about that following through, particularly given the long term relationship, so another to keep an eye on. The Ajax/GD next phase is intriguing, for PEN, will they-won't they, I guess a conclusion to that one isn't too far away.

Cheers for that. A lot of moving parts here now and particularly interesting growth potential in the US. Aside that, it is hard to see how the next phase of the Ajax programme won't include PEN, as it would be extremely difficult at this stage for another player to step in. Obviously after the last experience with GD PEN are extremely wary and have no doubt laid out their own terms. My take is that is that they certainly won't take it on unless it's lucrative enough and if it doesn't happen, it's neutral as nothing in for it on the forecasts.Obviously there is a it seems a very real desire for PEN to put to paper! Time will tell.

For the longer term this is worth keeping an eye on, the AUKUS agreements will see a signficant investment in to the military capabilities in the AUS. I am also sure that the work that can be given to local contractors will be given. Pennant is increadibly well positioned in Australia and I have no doubt in time PEN will pick up a good level of work.
