from Shares magazine this morning. A terrific write up

Cerillion is a built-in-Britain quality tech growth stock that you should own

Billing and customer management platform ticks so many investor boxes
13 June 2024|Great Ideas


Cerillion (CER:AIM) £15.78
Market cap: £565 million
Not every investor will back young (ish) technology-led growth companies because it often means being willing to steal yourself through years of painful losses at the start of the journey. It’s why so many feel the need to look overseas for sustainable tech growth, with real profits and cash flows.

But while built-in-Britain opportunities in the space may be rare, they do exist, and Shares believes that Cerillion (CER:AIM) is one of them. If you’ve not come across the company before, in short, it scores very highly on core quality growth metric like returns on capital, equity and operating margins, throws off oodles of cash and appears to have years of growth runway before it.

Data suggests a global opportunity in this space worth $70 billion by 2027, so while it doesn’t operate across that entire scope (it doesn’t work in China, for example) it’s still an enormous opportunity, with potential to scale out vertically into other utility industries, like water, and electricity, for example.


WHAT THE BACKGROUND?

It floated in 2016 on the junior AIM market, which may be one reason why you might have missed its progress, but has been around for nearly three decades, having been spun-out via a management buyout from Logica in 1999, and it is still led by Louis Hall, chief executive, and the main driver of that spin-out.

Cerillion built its reputation on an integrated enterprise billings and customer relationship management software platform sold to telecoms companies, particularly tier two and three operators. But it has expanded the suite over the years to cover charging, interconnect, mediation, and provisioning solutions.

The company names clients including KDDI (9433:TYO), listed in Japan, India’s Airtel, and Manx Telecom, the Isle of Man operator that used to be listed on the London market until its 2019 private equity buyout. More familiar names like Three, Virgin Media and Cable & Wireless are also on the list.

ATTRACTIVE OFF-THE-SHELF SOLUTIONS

Crucially, Cerillion’s suite offers the industry the kind of flexible, off-the-shelf solutions needed to monetise vast capital investment in new 5G mobile (6G is coming) and fibre networks in a savagely competitive market environment.

Increasingly selling five-year software-as-a-service contracts, Cerillion’s investment in its IT suite and headcount (US in particular) means it has more tools in its stack to sell to clients, so average contract sizes have been rising. This is evidenced by November 2023’s first tier one client, an unnamed European telco, worth €12.4 million over the full term of the contract, and an $11.1 million deal with a South African operator, announced in May 2024.

This helps explain a consistently growing new sales pipeline that hit a record £254 million in the first half of fiscal 2024 (to end of September). Annual recurring revenues account for about two-thirds of the firm’s £22.5 million sales, particularly sticky given the value proposition, switching difficulty and costs.


IMPROVING QUALITY

Operating margins continue to expand to 43.4% in the first half, showing that Cerillion is keeping a firm grip on running costs. It threw off £4.7 million of free cash leaving the company debt free with £26.6 million net cash on the books.

It pays modest dividends, the full year yield is about 0.8%, but investors would be buying for growth, not income. And overall, shareholder returns have shone. In three years returns on capital and equity have grown from 29.7% to 37.3% and 35.5% to 40.7% on equity.

In five years, the stock has soared 928%, and 2,005% since IPO, and now trades on rolling 12-months PE (price to earnings) multiple of about 30, according to Stockopedia data. But we believe long-run growth stories like Cerillion need to be judged over several years, not just the next year.

Using forecasts out to full year 2026 supplied by Berenberg and Liberum implies an average PE of near 25 over that period. And both brokers suggest upside risk to their estimates. One final point, Cerillion could be targeted by private equity firms. Hall owns just over 30% of the shares, so any offer would have to be compelling and at a sharp premium to current valuations.

But as we have seen in recent years, private equity buyers have cash to splash and are keen over UK quality assets possibly trading at discounts to overseas peers. So, no takeover slam dunk, but it’s another factor to build into your investment decision.

Not sure I see the growth to justify this rating anymore, last years interims had top line growth of 27%, ARR growth of 34% and basic EPS growth of 43%. This year these metrics have markedly fallen to 10%, 14% and 16% respectively. For a company on a PE of 34x that is rapid deceleration. With a PEG of over 2, CER is now fundamentally very expensive.

No doubt a high quality company, however I can't see much to attract new buyers at £16 a share.

Chart looks great and share price at an all time high, now a 197k trade at 12.30 paying 1600p per share , valued at over £3 million.

Must be an institution buy and have sufficient information to have alot of confidence for the future.

Someone knows something, either current trading or large new contracts, how else to explain 1.1 million shares bought at 1600p on Friday.

Share price at current all time high.

Cerillion plc issued a trading update for the FY ended 30th September this morning. Positive trading has been maintained through the second half following a very strong first six months which set new records for revenue and adjusted pre-tax profit. Revenue is expected to be approximately £39.0m with adjusted profit before tax expected to be meaningfully ahead of the consensus market forecast of £14.3m. The balance sheet remains strong with net cash at 30 September 2023 up to approximately £24.7m. Valuation remains unhelpful with forward PE ratio at 24.1x, but the share price remains in a solid multi year uptrend and has positive momentum accordingly. BUY...

Completion of Initial Implementation at Telesur

Cerillion, the billing, charging and customer relationship management software solutions provider, is pleased to announce that its initial implementation for Telesur, the leading telecommunications provider in Suriname, covering the operator's mobile services, has now gone live.

In this first phase, Cerillion has implemented its BSS/OSS* suite for Telesur's mobile services and completed the successful migration from the operator's legacy prepaid and postpaid systems to the new platform. This has enabled Telesur to take a major step forward with its mobile services and to launch a new online portal and mobile app. The new platform will also enable Telesur to introduce innovative products to market much more rapidly and with significantly less effort than previously. Cerillion's intuitive Enterprise Product Catalogue enables Telesur to manage efficiently the complete product lifecycle and introduce products and services through simple configuration.

The next stage of work will be the digital transformation of Telesur's fixed-line services. The migration of these services onto Cerillion's platform will bring Telesur further commercial and operational benefits and ensure a seamless experience across all services for its customers.

Mike Antonius, CEO at Telesur, said,

" Our partnership with Cerillion is truly transformational. The introduction of Cerillion's digital BSS/OSS platform has allowed us to enhance our customer experience and revolutionise our mobile services with a clear focus on digital engagement. And with the ability to launch new products and services faster than ever before, we are well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers and drive growth in the digital era."

Louis Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Cerillion plc, commented:

"We are delighted to celebrate the successful implementation of our pre-integrated BSS/OSS solution for Telesur. This project underscores our commitment to empowering businesses with innovative solutions that drive digital growth, elevate customer experience, and enhance overall operational efficiency. We congratulate Telesur on this important milestone and are excited to continue supporting their future initiatives."

*BSS/OSS are critical operations support systems and business support systems that support telecommunications services.

https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2021/09/07/here-is-1-tech-stock-from-my-best-stocks-to-buy-now-list/Here is 1 tech stock from my best stocks to buy now listJabran Khan | Tuesday, 7th September, 2021 | More on: CERThe Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the demand for technology. I have a dedicated tech section on my best stocks to buy now list. One pick I really like is Cerillion (LSE:CER). Should I add shares to my portfolio at current levels?FTSE AIM starFounded in 1999, Cerillion is a provider of billing, charging, and customer management systems based in the UK. It focuses on providing its products and services primarily to the telecoms industry as well as others too. It has many customers across the world but some of its more recognisable names to the UK market are G4S and mobile network Three.My best stocks to buy now are usually on an upward trajectory and Cerillion is no different. Its share price has increased in the past 12 months by over 160%. This time last year, shares were trading for 295p per share. As I write, shares are trading for 784p per share. So, what has contributed to this sudden share price explosion for the tech provider?My best stocks to buy now perform consistentlyCerillion's fiscal year runs from September to September. Full-year results are expected around November. In its most recent trading update released in May, it covered the six months to March as a half-year update. These results made for excellent reading in my opinion.Cerillion reported record performance for new orders in H1, up 148% compared to 2020 levels. It also reported its largest ever contract win. Revenue rose by 25% compared to 2020 levels. Recurring revenue also rose an impressive 26%. In addition to all this, profit before tax was up 124% compared to the same period last year too. Net cash also rose by 60% too.I understand that past performance is not a guarantee for the future. I personally use this as a gauge when assessing investment viability. Cerillion does have a favourable track record. In the past four years, revenue has been increasing year-on-year. In the same period, gross profit and net income have also been increasing year-on-year too. Most of my best stocks to buy now have good historic track records. Risk and my verdictI have two main concerns with Cerillion and its investment viability. First, at current levels it is valued a bit high. With a price-to-earnings ratio of over 50, it could be susceptible to a share price drop on the back of negative news. In addition to this, recurring revenue has not always been its strong point. Recurring revenue can be a good combatant to top line uncertainty but despite increasing recently, Cerillion could do more to secure recurring revenue for the future.There is a lot to like about Cerillion hence why I place it on my best stocks to buy now list. It has a strong balance sheet as well as a favourable performance track record. It also pays a dividend which would help me make a passive income if I invested. Furthermore, it also has a strong pipeline of future business ahead too which will help boost performance further.Right now, I would be willing to buy shares at current levels. I believe full-year results will be favourable and result in a further share price rise. I would be willing to add shares to my portfolio at current levels and keep an eye out for full-year results and future performance too
