Not a good December:


Dec 5 (FT extract)

Shares in Civica hit a record low after the public sector software provider warned of a "cautious" outlook at its local government unit, its largest business.

The shares dropped 16¾p on Tuesday to 159¼p, a far cry from the summer when the company was close to agreeing a 300p a share deal with Alchemy Partners, the private equity group.

Wariness over sales in the local government division was compounded by full-year figures showing softening demand for new back office systems, which held back organic growth to just 1 per cent.

The shares were also hit after full-year figures missed analysts' expectations.

The group was also hit by the loss of a contract to supply services to the NHS IT project.

Simon Downing, chief executive, said Civica was considering further acquisitions of up to £50m ($103m) to boost scale.

=======================================

"..The fact that the Civica software was incompatible with Google's "crawlers" certainly should have been determined by the city prior to signing any contracts..."

The fact that the CEO and FD do not hold a single share hardly inspires confidence. Very brave to hold these untill we see results IMO.

A poor trading update to come IMO, but as always DYOR.

Good call, I did not realise you shorted shares CR.

And its not the fact that they sold a shed load of shares, they sold the whole lot.
Both the FD and CEO are not holding a single share, this.is worth repeating.
And as they better than anyone else know the business, why should anyone else hold.

I dont like these share sales. The CEO and FD selling their entire holding.
Having been a supporter of Civiva in the past, I would now be very careful here. Far safer to sell untill we see the next set of results IMO.

Civica software rides public sector efficiency drive

Public sector software provider Civica has benefited from recent government initiatives to improve efficiency, build better schools and tackle persistent grime and crime.

Sir Peter Gershon's 2004 review of public sector efficiency, the Blair governments Building Schools for the Future programme and the post-9/11 atmosphere of intensified security are just some of the background stimulus helping Civica expand its market share and buy other companies.

Civica (CIV), which supplies software and other management services to some 700 local governments and 47 out of 53 UK police forces, is also delving into postal sector review and social housing improvements. It has expanded to Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.

The company hiked its full year adjusted pre-tax profit by 58% in line with market expectations after an earlier trading statement.

Adjusted pre-tax profit on ordinary activities for the year to 30 September increased to £16.1 million from last years £10.2 million on revenue of £125 million against £106 million, an 18% jump.

Diluted earnings per share reached 19.5p compared with 14.7p last year. The order book increased 67% to £91 million from £54.5 million in 2005.

Part of the success could be attributed to the growth in sales of Civicas proprietary software and the first half acquisition of Comino, which specialised in local government efficiency, and social care-focused Flare last year.

Proprietary software revenue rose 52% to £73.7 million from £48.6 million last year. Consulting revenue was up 58% to £26.2 million; software application revenue grew 28% to £21.5 million; and managed services revenue jumped 70% to £26.0 million.

Chief executive Simon Downing said the company won new business with existing customers while successfully expanding into related markets. The Comino purchase strengthened its public sector offering to front and back office solutions, he added.

The integration of recent acquisitions and expansion in existing and related public sector markets continues to strengthen the group's market position. With customers expected to continue investment in process improvement, integrated services and of course efficiency, the outlook for the Group remains positive, Downing said.

Dividends are to be 1.45p per share for a full year total of 2.18p, a 10% increase on 2005.

Jonathan Imlah at Altium Securities maintained a buy recommendation on the stock, noting the Comino acquisition was completed ahead of expectations and with strong benefits. Perhaps more importantly, the order book grew 67% to stand at £91 million, suggesting that growth is likely to continue in the business in spite of several comments from local government solutions providers that growth in the public sector market has slowed over the past few months, Imlah said.

He placed a 300p target price on the shares with a price to earnings ratio based on 13 times 2007 full year earnings. He said revenue forecasts might decline, reflecting a reduced base in third party licenses, but that it would have little impact on profits because of their low margins.

The shares were at 275.125p, up a fraction in light trading. Market capitalisation stood at £171.48 million.

Civicas new business in the local government and housing markets included more than 50 software contracts and expansion into social care with projects for Liverpool and Hackney. The company also added five contracts in Australia.

Civica was selected as the preferred technology partner in the consortium for Sheffield's Building Schools for the Future programme, and it won the £1.5 million South East library management shared service contract.
