Centralnic Share Discussion Threads

It is a while since I have looked in here. I did hold in the past.

I was put off by Ben Crawford having no skin in the game. Has that changed?

On a quick glance only: there is always something I dislike when eps is not included in the headline figure of Company results. What are they trying to hide?

Digging down to the bottom of the results, eps is a NEGATIVE 1.75p. Thus, is the "profitability" just spin?

London-based CentralNic Group, the AIM-listed provider of internet domains has agreed to acquire Sydney-based TPP Wholesale, another reseller of domain names and hosting across Australasia for $24m AUD (approx. £13m) continuing its industry consolidation strategy and expansion into key markets globally.

Last week’s FY 2018 results showed that CentralNic had doubled revenues last year to £42.7m (2017 £21.4) principally off the back of a series acquisitions as it looks to build a global business and access growth markets.

This represents CentralNic’s third acquisition of the last twelve months, having acquired KeyDrive in July 2018, a move that doubled its customer numbers overnight, as well as Romania and Brazil-focused registrar and domain hosting provider GlobeHosting last September.

TTP Wholesale is a carve out from ARQ Group Limited, a company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and will give CenytralNic a significant presence in Australisia adding 14,000 reseller customers and 840,000 domains under management, some 19% of all .com.au registrations. Stand-alone revenues and adjusted EBITDA for TTP in FY 2018 were $17m AUD and $3.9m AUD respectively. The timing of this deal will also allow CentralNic to participate fully in the proposed launch of the new .au domain extension.

The acquisition is still dependent on conditional financing with CentralNic in advanced talks with debt providers hoping to be finalised by the end of June.

[cheshire man] 20/5/2019 07:59

The CentralNic Board expect the acquisition to be immediately earnings enhancing and that it will result in double digit earnings accretion for the financial year to 31 December 2020. The Board also believes there is significant scope for cost synergies following successful completion of integration into CentralNic.

All good here and chart reacting well :-)

Thanks, Aishah.

Praise indeed, to have the well regarded TMV including CNIC in their view of today.

I feel very much assured by the combination of CNIC's results out today and the excellent summary of CNIC from TMV.

Indeed and mkt responding.

CentralNic doubles in size
London-based CentralNic Group, the AIM-listed provider of internet domains doubled revenues in 2018 to £42.7m (2017 £21.4m) as it integrated the KeyDrive acquisition. The expanded business also improved profitability with Gross Profit up 69% to £19.7m (2017: £11.6m) and adjusted EBITDA up 66% to £7m (2017: £4.2m).

Three significant acquisitions have contributed to 2018’s growth. CentralNic acquired KeyDrive in July 2018 principally looking to improve its market share by doubling its customer numbers overnight. There is also a pretty significant overlap in services between the business that should yield cost synergies.

CentralNic is looking to build a global business and access growth markets, acquiring SK-NIC in 2017 which manages the top level domain .sk (like .UK) for Slovakia whilst also buying Romanian and Brazil-focused registrar and domain hosting provider GlobeHosting last September.

The acquisitions have provided much greater scale for the Group with its own platforms now supporting some 14m domain names. Through these acquisitions, CentralNic has doubled headcount, with additional staff in Germany (housed in a purpose-built engineering headquarters near Saarbrh the), the USA, Luxembourg, Slovakia and Romania.

The Group targets three customer types of Resellers, Small Businesses, and Corporates and sells each subscription-based products and services that has seen the company achieve 90% recurring revenue and near 100% cash conversion that puts the business in very good shape for 2019.

MMX opens LSE to mark launch of .luxe
Fri, 26th Oct 2018 07:00

RNS Number : 2482F
Minds + Machines Group Limited
26 October 2018
For release: 07.00 am, 26 October 2018


Minds + Machines Group Limited

("MMX" or the "Company")


MMX OPENS LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE TO MARK LAUNCH OF .LUXE


Minds + Machines Group Limited (AIM: MMX), the top-level domain registry company, is today honoured to be joined by its commercial partners Alibaba Cloud and Ethereum to open trading on London Stock Exchange and celebrate the official launch of .luxe.


.luxe is the first top-level domain designed to resolve naming conventions both on the World Wide Web and the Ethereum blockchain.


The Company also announces that it is now a member of London Stock Exchange's Issuer Services Marketplace enabling the Company to generate deeper awareness amongst London Stock Exchange Group listed companies for .luxe and its wider portfolio of new domain name extensions.


Toby Hall, CEO of MMX, commented:


"Our goal is simple - to create a trusted naming convention that can work across multiple blockchains as well as the World Wide Web. To achieve this, we are working with the world's fastest growing blockchain, Ethereum, as a cornerstone partner in this initiative. We look forward to welcoming others into .luxe in the coming months as well as creating broader awareness for human readable digital identifiers that can work in multiple online universes. We are likewise delighted to be joined today by our retail partner, Alibaba Cloud."


Currently there is no interoperable naming convention across the World Wide Web and separate blockchains. Each blockchain typically uses a randomly generated hexadecimal string as the public identifier for each item. For example, on Ethereum, the hexadecimal string is 42 characters long. Through .luxe, it will be possible to use a relevant, memorable name of the user's choice instead of the cumbersome string as the public identifier. The same .luxe name can then also be used on the World Wide Web helping to generate further trust and transparency between parties.


Dr Robert Barnes, Global Head of Primary Markets and CEO Turquoise, London Stock Exchange Group, said:


"We are delighted to welcome Minds + Machines, one of our listed companies, to open the London market. London is a world-leading fintech hub and we are committed to supporting the growth of fintech businesses."


Yeming Wang, general manager of Alibaba Cloud EMEA, said:


"As one of the top three global Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers and a technology innovator, we have helped many companies across the globe with their digital transformation initiatives. Our mission is to provide a scalable, secure and robust platform so customers can focus on delivering business results. With a similar belief in mind, we are proud to be partnering with MMX to help bring a simple, consistent and user-friendly solution to a digitally-born technology, so users can concentrate on building the products to better serve the Blockchain communities."


Nick Johnson, Lead Developer Ethereum Name Service, said:


"We are delighted to welcome .luxe into the Ethereum Name Service. We see the approach being taken by MMX as fulfilling an essential role in generating broader mainstream understanding and adoption of blockchain solutions with ease-of-use and usability being central to their thinking."


Sales of .luxe names to the general public will begin on 6 November 2018. However, there is an Early Access Programme running from 1600 UTC on 30 October 2018, where names can be purchased ahead of general availability subject to an additional one-time fee. For further information on .luxe and its launch time-table, please visit www.join.luxe

@TechMarketView

London-based CentralNic Group, the AIM-listed provider of internet domains continues on the acquisition trail buying Romania and Brazil-focused registrar and domain hosting provider GlobeHosting.

CentralNic has seen healthy growth of late focusing efforts now on industry consolidation and overseas expansion. GlobeHosting represents its third acquisition of the last nine months, the largest of which was August’s $55m purchase of KeyDrive.

GlobeHosting will fit into CentralNic's Retail and Reseller divisions, two of its four industry channels, the others being Corporate and Registry.

The total consideration of €2.56m comprises an initial payment of €1.5m, coupled with deferred payments of €608k due on the first anniversary of completion and €450k due at the end of year two.

The transaction adds to CentralNic's access to the Romanian and Brazilian markets. Romania in particular looks interesting where imminent changes to the pricing structure of all existing .RO users will require widespread renewal of domains
