Posted at 01/1/2024 12:47 by eagle eye Happy New Year to all shareholders.ELIX sat around all year then gets the turbo chargers on in December. Lots to like here, though would prefer an orderly climb rather than a price spike. Upwards and onwards for 2024! |
Posted at 30/12/2023 12:25 by mirabeau This year I am recommending a riskier small company with experienced top management, excellent growth prospects and a number of blue-chip clients. The company is Elixirr International (Aim: ELIX), a consultancy with a market value of £220m and a 2022 turnover of £70.7m, up by 40% on 2021.Elixirr was founded in 2009 by the current CEO, Stephen Newton, who had been a managing partner at Accenture. Newton says Elixxir’s ambition is to become the best digital, data, artificial intelligence (AI) and strategy consultancy in the world, with a globally recognised client base. It already numbers Diageo, HSBC, LVMH and Tesla among its clients. Elixirr features in several categories of the Financial Times’ 2023 list of the leading UK management consultancies. Its emphasis on digital, data and AI should shield it from the recent turndown in general consultancy. Elixirr grows organically and through bolt-on acquisitions such as US generative AI firm Responsum, which has enhanced the group’s AI capabilities. Revenue rose by 23% to £41.1m in the six months to 30 June, with pre-tax profits up 17% to £9.9m and net cash at £19.5m. Newton, who holds 28.7% of the shares (aligning his interests with other shareholders’) The trailing 12-month p/e is 17.5 and the forward dividend yield is 2.23% at the recent share price of 472p – well below analysts’ one-year price target of 868p. |
Posted at 29/12/2023 11:29 by mginvestor Funny world this investing is, no one wanted to buy ELIX when the PE was below 15 for quite some time. Now investors are paying more than the offer to get some. Someone just bought 2343 shares at 640p whilst the offer is still 625p. Strong level 2 despite several days of gains.Expecting 2024 to take out our previous highs comfortably. If a company can deliver strongly since IPO despite the general market being gloomy it's all a matter of time before they get noticed. |

Posted at 13/12/2023 08:13 by masurenguy Thanks mginvestor - I think that the Accenture comparision is a very appropriate benchmark. It also just serves to illustrate that Elix is undervalued on current matrices although clearly without the clout of the existing Accenture brand value at this stage in their development. |

Posted at 06/11/2023 11:41 by simon gordon On the iOLAP website they have twenty vacancies, business must be strong.Thought this a decent summary: Investors Chronicle - 7/9/23 A capital-light consultancy with excellent momentum Boutique consultancies do not often crop up on the public market. Pay attention when they do. by Jemma Slingo “The concept of a structured work-life balance almost seems to be expected in today’s society – especially in a typical 9-to-5 role, but I think it should be seen as a privilege.” So says Stephen Newton, founder and chief executive of Elixirr (ELIX), a management consultancy that joined Aim three years ago. It’s a fitting message from an entrepreneur set on driving growth and trimming the fat. Elixirr presents itself as a new breed of management consultancy. It used a recent ad campaign to lampoon the industry’s jargon, swagger and reliance on under-experienced Oxbridge graduates, and continually stresses its “challenger&rd Punching above its weight With a market cap of under £250mn, Elixirr is small – even compared with specialist listed consulting peers such as Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (AFM) and XPS Pensions (XPS). However, it benefits from a similarly capital-light business model and excellent momentum. Indeed, according to Investec, Elixirr is the fastest-growing management consultancy in the UK and the third-fastest in Europe. Having increased its market share every year since 2011 and posted organic revenue growth of 18 per cent in 2022, Elixirr has momentum. With an adjusted Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margin at around 30 per cent, it is also profitable. The company was founded in the aftermath of the financial crash, and originally focused on financial services work, which is Newton’s area of expertise. Around half of group turnover still comes from the sector, but Elixirr is rapidly diversifying, and its 200-strong client base now includes names as varied and big-ticket as Diageo, LVMH, Tesla and Burger King. The fact that big names are on board suggests this youthful small cap is an increasingly viable alternative to the ‘Big Four’ professional services firms and strategy houses such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and Bain, which together account for almost half of the market. A lot of the people who work at Elixirr cut their teeth in this world, so they know what they’re up against. Newton was formerly a managing partner at Accenture, while chief financial officer Graham Busby worked in Accenture’s ‘global mega-deal’ department. The quality of the wider management team is also encouraging, with former BT chief executive Gavin Patterson acting as non-executive chair. The big question is whether Elixirr can keep luring talented people away from the corporate behemoths. The group has about 500 consultants but just 21 of them are client-facing partners. As partners generate the biggest invoices and bring in most of the work, swelling their ranks will be crucial for growth. In this sense, Elixirr has a lot in common with Keystone Law (KEYS), whose success relies on a team of 400 senior solicitors and which has seen recruitment slow down in recent months. However, while Keystone’s self-employed “principals&rd Management claims that partners can earn 80 per cent more at Elixirr than they could at a big rival firm because, while cash remuneration is lower, the money saved on pay packets is pumped back into the business, fuelling equity returns. “By investing £3.2mn in the business over five years and assuming 25 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) share price growth, each partner can achieve an equity return of £7.2mn,” declares Elixirr, which loans new partners £500,000 to buy shares. It concludes that over a five-year period a partner can earn £9mn (including cash remuneration) compared with £5mn at a Big Four firm. Non-partners are also strongly equity incentivised via share options and an employee share purchase plan. On the one hand, this approach makes a lot of sense. One of the big conundrums posed by listed people businesses is how to align the interests of partners with those of external investors. Why would partners want to return profit to shareholders if they could distribute it all among themselves? Elixirr’s focus on equity means everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. However, its logic falls apart if shares head south and partners watch their pay prospects wither. Share dilution is therefore something to watch for. Management stressed that the “value created from our equity incentive schemes far outweighs the potential dilutive effect” and analysts note that there has been no material dilution to the share count since April 2021. As the business keeps scaling up, however, it remains a risk. Growing pains Organic growth is not Elixirr’s only option, of course. It recently deployed some cash to acquire iOLAP, a US consultancy specialising in data and analytics. The deal makes strategic sense and is reminiscent of Alpha FMC’s Lionpoint purchase. Elixirr now has a sizable presence in the US, home to the world’s biggest consultancy market, and should benefit from plenty of cross-selling opportunities. It’s not easy to scale up a business at pace however, and Alpha FMC’s recent performance spotlights some of the problems that Elixirr could face. Fears about under-utilised consultants marred Alpha FMC’s latest annual results, where the group cited industry-wide “increased levels of competition as a result of overcapacity”. Its shares have fallen by 25 per cent since the start of the year after a bumper three-year period. Elixirr has a more varied client base than Alpha FMC, but it is not immune to market conditions. Staff costs as a percentage of revenues have risen over the past four years, and margins could suffer if work dries up. To make things worse, it is tricky to predict when or if a downturn is coming as contracts only last for four to eight weeks on average, limiting visibility and management’s capacity to plan. The firm’s resilience has been tested before, though: in 2020, the group achieved revenue growth of 24 per cent while the consulting market as a whole shrank by 18 per cent. Elixirr’s balance sheet is also reassuringly robust. The group has a net cash position, despite several acquisitions and dividend payments, and operations have proved reliably cash-generative so far: standard payment terms require settlement of invoices within 30 days of receipt, and the majority of trade receivables are less than 31 days old. Valuing potential Elixirr's share price has risen by 165 per cent since its IPO, so potential investors can be forgiven for feeling as though they’ve missed the boat. Small-cap valuations are slippery at the best of times, and the lack of publicly traded consultancies – together with a dearth of analyst coverage – makes valuing Elixirr even harder. However, there does appear to be a disconnect between its growth prospects and its price/earnings (PE) multiple. Analysis by Investec puts Elixirr on a PE ratio of 15.4 for the 2023 calendar year, despite a forecast sales CAGR for 2022-24 of 17 per cent. By contrast, Alpha FMC is expected to grow by 10 per cent but trades on a PE ratio of 18.1. Some will argue that Elixirr is cheap because it is small and risky. It has a short track record on the public market and is not widely covered by analysts. It is also exposed to partner and client exits, and its top three clients account for about a fifth of sales. On balance, however, the risk-reward balance looks enticing. As a capital-light sector challenger, Elixirr’s momentum could well persist for years to come. Taken together, profitable growth, a burgeoning client base and US expansion plans make for an intoxicating mixture. |
Posted at 27/9/2023 12:26 by someuwin Part of Cavendish's ELIX note last week..."Digital + data + AI = significant growth potential Elixirr’s ambition is to become the best digital, data, AI and strategy consultancy in the world and H1 results evidence strong progress towards this aim. H1 sales grew +23% (+14% organic), adj. EBITDA +19%, margins strong at 30%, adj. EPS +23% and net cash £20m. Revenue per partner grew by +24%, supported by a broadening range of capabilities that have been further strengthened by the acquisition of Responsum, a US-headquartered AI specialist. Elixirr also continues to attract highly experienced Partners and consultants and promote talent from within, all of which support the long-term growth prospects in a $266bn global market. Guidance for FY23E is unchanged and, at this stage, we have assumed no change to FY 2024E and FY 2025E EPS from the acquisition of Responsum. However, as Elixirr has already worked closely alongside the business on several client engagements and identified 40+ client opportunities, it is a likely source of future, potentially material, upgrades. Elixirr is valued at half peer Accenture’s valuation for twice the forecast growth, and we maintain our 998p price target (+74% upside)." Note: Accenture (NYSE:ACN) Current valuation $206.34Bn = £165.56Bn so 620 times bigger than ELIX. |
