Agreed HE.

Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.

I can remember the game changer of cloudcall chrome!!

You what I hear some of you say? Exactly.

To be fair, the company has to spin and promise the moon continually otherwise it will go down the tubes.....

Very disappointing having reader broker commentary now. Had thought statement suggesting in line rather than a miss. Its back to the bad old days it seems where sales team can't deliver properly and costs out of control again. They seem to have all sorts of things on the go but they would probably be best advised to be tight on cost control. My own view was Call should really have got to breakeven and then gone down the route of saying they were investing for growth. Instead they keep on going for growth and we fall back into them needing cash again. They seem to have a buffer for cash and state they won't need any more but those who have been in CALL for a long time know those words mean little.

To be fair the analyst who wrote about it on Stockopedia said it might need to raise funds again.
Great bit of work from Clive Borg who wrote to the CEO and got the following reply:

I emailed Cloudcall expressing similar dissatisfaction to their trading update as rmillaree. I received the following reply from their CEO:


Thank you for your comments and I appreciate your frustration. However, we don’t and can’t release any P&L info in Trading statements, this is only released in our full set of accounts - due out in September.

The purpose of the Trading Statement is to provide shareholders with a ‘flash update’ of trading as soon as possible after the period end – which was 30th June, in this case. In them we include revenue, user numbers, cash and some commentary on trading for the period and outlook. We don’t include any information on P&L as with all the implications involved with depreciation, capitalisation, share and option based costs and allowance etc. it would be impossible to calculate accurately and reliably in such a short time frame.

I agree it’s not perfect, but we still believe that producing a trading statement quickly after the period end rather than waiting for the full accounts 2 or 3 months later, is beneficial to shareholders.

Simon Cleaver

CEO

However, also from Stockopedia, the analyst has followed up his work by checking broker notes as follows:
Addendum: I've checked a broker note. Unsurprisingly, the revenue forecast for this year is reduced to £8.9 million. The negative EBITDA forecast deteriorates by £1 million to £2.9 million.

they have access to £4.9million, so why a fundraise?

[deltrotter] 17/7/2018 16:09

There have been many sooty in the years I have been a shareholder!

[sooty snipes] 17/7/2018 15:58

Wasn't the last one at circa 140p to institutions only?

[deltrotter] 17/7/2018 15:56

Ha ha - I wish sooty....

Looks like they might raising cash into weakness. NEVER a good thing for existing shareholders.

[sooty snipes] 17/7/2018 15:51

Oh dear. There's me thinking we were on a nice steady rise back to the good old days of £3 :o(

[deltrotter] 17/7/2018 13:43

Stockopaedia reckons another placing is on the way....

[deltrotter] 17/7/2018 13:30

We have been here many, many times before remember guys.

I thought those growth in user numbers were VERY disappointing....

[johnnyoz777] 17/7/2018 11:07

Yes, I sold but it will stay on my watchlist. If growth picks up I'll probably get back in but report shows 31% and 37% which is lower than FY 2017. It could be that HY1 is weaker than HY2 and I still like the sector but growth stocks have to grow and I don't mind missing out on the first 20% upside, if it starts selling lots, in order to make sure that it's in demand...

[davemac3] 17/7/2018 10:30

have you sold then johnny?

[horndean eagle] 17/7/2018 10:28

Share price move is a little disappointing but it probably leaked out ahead of today. They have been weak. I would argue that a few percentage points here or there doesn't make a huge difference. Its still growing at a fair clip and that doesn't look its going away any time soon. Every day that passes by we get closer and closer to breakeven.

[johnnyoz777] 17/7/2018 10:01

I was a holder but slightly disappointing results I think. Revenue of £4.1m leaves £5.2m to get just to hit 2018 estimates. 2017 full year had recurring revenues up 55% and revenue overall up 42% so is growth slowing, (struggling to get sales?). "Whilst it took slightly longer... to get staff..." slightly disappointing, we pay you to get these things correct. "Now in place and should help H2" (jam tomorrow?). "Small sales team being assembled until we make an initial assessment of demand", could be seen as a sensible approach but hardly screams out confidence. "The first half has played out largely as we expected", once again a little underwhelming. 27,000 users is decent, I think 28,000 was needed for break even.

Decent update but not outstanding. Feels like the shares may tread water until some more exciting growth figures. Happy to hold but £2 still appears some way off. GLAH

[ali47fish] 17/7/2018 08:43

where on earth is everybody here- update sounds good share price down why?

[ali47fish] 29/6/2018 15:32

old mutual invests in call

[ali47fish] 08/6/2018 09:00

since 8 may no posters meantime share price retracing is thius an opp to add?

[joeywald] 08/5/2018 17:09

Looks like a sell but appears to have had no effect on the share price - delayed reporting perhaps?

[140661] 08/5/2018 16:34

That's a serious trade today, almost one million pounds. I suspect we will be receiving an RNS regarding major shareholding fairly soon.

Superb coverage by the Financial Times..."CloudCall, a leading provider of VoIP telephony integrated into Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, was recently named one of the fastest growing UK companies in the Financial Times FT 1000 report. CloudCall grew its revenue 787% from 2013 to 2016, the period covered in the report, ranking 6th in Technology and 28th overall in the UK."Should attract some attention :-)

[140661] 24/4/2018 15:01

3 year high but we just dont seem capable of breaking the £2 level. Decent volumes as well which is encouraging.

[jimbojet17] 24/4/2018 12:40

The chart is looking very positive right now, broken out above 1 year high

[140661] 18/4/2018 07:38

Cloudcall has been ranked 166th in Europe and 28th in he UK in the FT 1000 European Fastest Growth Companies.
