When chief executive John Shepherd joined security services specialist Quadnetics back in 2008 he inherited seven disparate businesses. He has since knocked the operations into shape, stripping £2 million from overheads and shifting the focus towards higher-margin markets.

Now employing over 450 people, the AIM-listed company is spread across three continents. It has a particular focus on control room surveillance, spanning urban surveillance, offshore adverse areas (oil, gas, chemical and mining), casinos, transport, retail and prisons.

Recent results confirm that Quadnetics is in rude health, as it hoisted sales 13 per cent to £69.1 million, but more impressively boosted pre-tax profits 79 per cent to £2.5 million. It has net cash of £1.3 million, as well as a bulging order book – up 19 per cent to a record £32.5 million.

The largest business is in integration and managed services, which provides design through to the management of large-scale systems. Though the lowest-margin operation, it has landed £4.4 million of new retail work as well as significant new contracts with police custody and local authority clients. The London Olympics is also providing plenty of new business to Quadnetics.

In network systems it enjoyed a record 2011, fuelled by huge demand in the US market for casino security. A specialist in critical infrastructure protection, it is also winning work in the Middle East and Asia.

The Mobile arm has just landed a £2.5 million deal over five years to provide CCTV support on over 600 London buses. Last year it suffered from unrest in the Middle East, where it lost two contracts, but expect an upward shift in its fortunes in 2012.

Key to the shift in profitability has been a conscious effort to sell more of its own intellectual property. In addition, it is on the lookout for acquisitions. Last year it picked up Germany-based Indanet, which is a provider of surveillance systems to the transport market.

Serving the Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich public transport authorities, as well as Deutsche Bahn, the business is already profitable but has to deliver impressive returns in order to receive the maximum €10 million consideration.
Quadnetics is soon to change its name to Synectics, as this is the brand better known by its customers. In addition to expanding its margins, management are keen to boost market share, in what remains a highly fragmented industry.
Speaking to Growth Company Investor, Shepherd said, 'There is plenty of scope to expand, but we will not overpay so any deals will be extremely selective.'

With a growing element of recurring revenue being added to the mix, house broker Westhouse argues that the target price for the shares should be 350p. As security becomes ever more prevalent, so too should the requirement for its services. At current levels, shares in Quadnetics are attractive. Buy. Miles Nolan

Westhouse;

Strong Buy




QDG.L / 275.0p / £48.32m / TP: 350p




Event: Business gain / loss




Likely % change in earnings forecasts: No Change





Contract win

Quadnetics has announced a six-year contract with Magnox that has a potential value of £7m. The contract is to service and maintain the integrated security systems at the majority of the nuclear reactor sites throughout Britain. We view this win as further evidence that Quadnetics is gaining market share through a combination of its technology and its increasing capability to service its targeted sectors.

We are making no changes to our forecasts at this stage and are happy to reiterate our 350p target price and Strong Buy recommendation.

The results and the news of new business should move the share price upwards, the market prices what it thinks the company will do in the future, i am sure the share holders of QDG will see the target price raised by the analysts, and 20% above the 300p target is very easily achieved in the short term, and the dividend is good, so i expect good reviews and a higher re-rating on the share price.

Good to see a company with its directors showing that good quality companies can expand and grow the business, this will be one company to invest in this year.

QUADNETICS GROUP* [Strong Buy] 08:06
QDG.L / 242.5p / £42.61m / TP: 300p
Event: Research issued

Quadnetics addresses global security and surveillance markets so can focus on those areas likely to show the best returns. We expect the group to continue to deliver good profit and earnings growth in FY2012, largely through "self-help" measures with respect to margins, such as increasing the use of its own IP in both software and hardware. As well as the organic growth prospects, we expect shareholder value to be enhanced by any further M&A. Our 300p target price is based on a FY2012 P/E of 15.4x and given its growth potential, we believe Quadnetics is a top pick for 2012.

John Shepherd, Chief Executive, commented:

"It is pleasing to see the results of integrating and refocusing the business starting to bear fruit. The significant profit improvement compared to the prior year has been delivered in spite of a 5% reduction in sales. This is in line with our stated aims of striving to increase both absolute profit and return on sales. As we continue to focus on selling higher margin integrated systems in our chosen niche markets, we expect this profit trend to continue. The significantly reduced overhead cost means that we will be able to take advantage of improving global market conditions to deliver higher profit margins.

"In our July statement I promised that we would increase our pace of innovation and this has resulted in the launch of three new market leading product families. The establishment of the Synectics Group Technology Centre at our Sheffield facility will enable us to develop more common-core hardware and software products which we can exploit in many different market opportunities. The higher order book gives confidence for further improved performance in 2011."

I'm not very familiar with IND - remember looking at it back in 2007 when it had already flown to a quite a toppy p/e if I remember correctly and that scared me off. Perhaps they've reached that critical size of company where it becomes quite difficult to grow and the share price goes into a period of adjusting to that with a cycle of new hope for growth and then disillusionment.

Those vertical jumps with smallish companies when they start posting high growth often seems to make a mess of the share price for a few years - I guess after the heights, nobody can really work out what its worth or how it should be rated.

Hoping that QDG can grow reliably at some point from a much smaller base and that the growth doesn't all come in one burst !

Plus IND seems to have had a big following over the years, which may have contributed to the big changes in rating.

QDG pretty quiet so far.
