18/5/2005 17:02 | The other part of citywire report: I think it was on free section. At least, i didn't have to login. 2ergo looks like a sane investment Published: 07:00 Sunday 15 May 2005 By Joanne Wallen, Associate Editor Five years ago people thought 2ergo was mad, but the company has doubled revenues every year since then, is profitable and its technology is bringing some amazing applications to schools, estate agents and McDonalds. The company provides a technology platform that enables customers to access data from an organisation's database from any type of device, across any network, and have it delivered to that device automatically in the right format. For example, the company has an estate agent customer using the system to enable a consumer to see a For Sale sign on a property, dial the telephone number on the board from a mobile phone or send a text message asking for details of the property. These details can then be read out to the caller, who, if still interested, gets transferred to an operator. Details of the property including photographs can then be sent to the caller's phone. The agent can then log on via the internet to access the caller details and contact them about arranging a property viewing. 2ergo joint managing director Barry Sharples told Citywire that the platform, known as Multiserve, caters for every form of communication including mobile, fixed line, wireless internet, voice and text. Most competitors, he reckons, offer one bit of the jigsaw, say text messaging applications, where 2ergo has gone big and caters for every possible form of communication. 'Five years ago, people thought we were mad', said Sharples. However today, he reckons it is this breadth of cover that provides the company's main differentiation. The company provides consultancy to enable an organisation to design its applications and it will also build the application if required. It then provides access to Multiserve as a service, hosted in its own data centres, and receives a fee per transaction. Another customer is fast food giant McDonalds, which uses the system for internal communications. The company uses a lot of staff on shift work or part time. To get a message to all staff, it now has a system using 2ergo whereby someone can use an ordinary phone, record a message to be broadcast, and then everyone on the list receives the message in the most appropriate way for the individual, either by text message, voice or email. The applications for the system are so diverse, that they are probably limited only by the imagination. However, judging by interim results out earlier this week, there are clearly plenty of organisations out there that have already been able to dream up applications for the technology. The company's turnover for the six months to 28 February grew by 100% to £8.9 million. Operating profit was up 137% to £518,000 and pr-tax profits rose 155% to £540,000. Earnings per share were up 155% to 1.53p. The company is generating cash and had £4.3 million of cash at the end of February. 2ergo's three data centres currently have the capacity to handle up to 100 million transactions a month, and joint managing director Neale Graham reckons it is 'nowhere near' that capacity, giving it plenty of headroom with the existing resources. 2ergo is also able to sell individual modules to a customer text, or email for example so it has plenty of opportunity to get people in and then sell them further modules. So far, clients have been extremely loyal, with more than 96% renewal rates. The company has also recently launched in the US, and has started to see the first revenues from there. As well as organic growth, the company has also identified a number of potential acquisitions in both Europe and the US. House broker Numis said the results had again beaten expectations, and the outlook for the rest of the year 'looks extremely positive with significant earnings potential likely. The broker upgraded its forecasts, lifting earnings per share by 8% this year and 4% next year. It said 'Conservatively, our price target [188p] remains unchanged for now implying 50% upside, leaving the shares as a buy'. Shares closed unchanged on Friday at 126.5p, valuing the business at £35.7 million | badday | |

17/5/2005 12:23 | I understand there is a fair amount of news in the pipeline too!! | pomp circumstance | |
17/5/2005 12:21 | -PC, thanks for posting that, very pleasant reading it makes -particulary liked this bit: 'The outlook for the rest of the year looks extremely positive with significant earnings potential likely as new opportunities arise, as well as corporate activity, which is also on the agenda. We are upgrading our forecasts again,...' -sounds like the boys could have a few things planned.... -given that the start of the new financial year is only just over three months away, RGO are very close to substantial and increasing profitability. -look forward to a few more 'upgrade' notes to come this year from Numis. | the prophet | |
17/5/2005 11:54 | Re the latest Numis update research! 11 May 2005 2 ergo* (RGO.L) Buy 123p Interim Results Target Price: 188p Interim results delivered by 2 ergo once again exceeded expectations across the board highlighting the growing consistency in its operations. The outlook for the rest of the year looks extremely positive with significant earnings potential likely as new opportunities arise, as well as corporate activity, which is also on the agenda. We are upgrading our forecasts again, which enhances EPS by 8% in 2005 and 4% in 2006 as we expect the scalable benefits of its model to come through after a period of significant investment. Conservatively, our price target remains unchanged for now implying 50% upside, leaving the shares as a BUY. Interim Results. 2 ergo has delivered another solid set of results, with adjusted PBT (pre amortisation) coming in at £0.7m vs. our initial forecast of £0.5m. This is the fifth consecutive year 2 ergo has delivered triple-digit growth in revenues and profits reflected by strong transactional activity across the Multiserve Platform (+82% y-o-y). Operating expenses were lower than expected following a period of significant investment leaving plenty of capacity for additional growth. As a consequence of this, we would expect to see this operational gearing effect have a continued dramatic impact on the bottom line during the course of the year. Growth Drivers. A key part of the investment case is that significant growth could come in a number of different areas. Firstly, on an organic basis further development of the Multiserve Platform should enhance the performance and scalability of its model allowing 2 ergo to continue to make the significant progress made to date. At the same time this should enhance loyalty and visibility of revenues with 96% of its clients already renewing and expanding its services with the group. Significant growth could also come from m-commerce opportunities, whilst corporate activity is now very much on the agenda, which could of course lead to significant EPS enhancement. US Operations. Expansion into the US market remains another lucrative growth opportunity for the group, and has so far exceeded internal expectations. Not only has acceptance levels of content grown as anticipated, but the company has also started to receive interest from US parties about its wider services offered in the UK. Forecasts. On the back of these strong results, we have increased our forecasts in 2005 from an adjusted PBT of £1.3m to £1.5m increasing EPS by 8% to 4.1p factoring in a slightly higher tax charge of 22% (from 20%). The key driver behind this is lower operating expenses given the significant investment in headcount that has already taken place. For 2006 we have assumed that costs continue to fall against rising revenues, which produces a more conservative 4% EPS upgrade. Clearly these forecasts could prove to be conservative if additional contracts or acquisitions are made during the year. Valuation. We are leaving our target price unchanged for now, which implies a 2006 EV/Revenue multiple of 1.8x and a P/E of 31.8x with EPS growth of 45%. At current levels this implies 50% upside leaving the shares clearly in BUY territory. Year.to.August...... .................... Market.Cap.......... Net.Assets.(08/05F). Net.Cash.(08/05F)...

17/5/2005 09:36 | -thats for posting that, Smelleroo -interesting to note that Numis appear to have upped their profit forecasts for RGO after the interims.... -REFS is showing pre-tax of £1.3m for this financial year, with £2.1m pencilled in for the financial year commencing this September, forecast by Numis -Sharescope is now showing £1.5m and £2.3m respectively for one analyst, which must be house brokers Numis. -I think we are likely to get several profit forecast increases as the business model continues to build out momentum. -They look a good buy at current levels, imo.Suprised they've come back so far, but then most small cap techs have been wacked back severely over the last couple of months. | the prophet | |
17/5/2005 09:25 | City wire commented on the ergo over the weekend. I have posted the concluding verdict below. It is bullish long-term but implies short-term will be effected by the imminent decline in aim. CITYWIRE VERDICT The company has spent several years developing this technology and is now beginning to see the real operational gearing effect. It is profitable, cash generative and in an area of technology convergence of IT and telecoms that is about to get very hot. Sharples and Graham are both industry veterans with their head screwed tightly in place. They were bombarded by venture capitalists in 1999/2000, wanting them to raise money and float the business, but they resisted the lure of the dotcom, and have no doubt come out stronger for it. There are no guarantees about how big this could get, but so far the signs are very promising. Its technology and therefore it is high risk. And the AIM market looks like it is going through a bit of a downturn at this time. However with that in mind, risk-takers might want to build a small stake for the medium term. | smelleroo | |
