'Killer application'!


Launch of Revolutionary Social Networking Software

eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a worldwide supplier of independent and flexible telecommunications Value Added Services for Messaging and Charging solutions, today announces the launch of its revolutionary Social Relationship Manager (SRM) software that joins mobile telephone networks with popular internet social networking sites.

The new SRM software allows telco operators to launch a new kind of value added mobile service, one which provides incentives to their subscribers, who in return choose to share their personal profile information. Thus, the operator acquires a new type of business intelligence and uses its customers' social influence to retain the most valuable subscribers. Further, the operator enjoys reduced churn and has the opportunity to acquire its subscribers' friends through the application of suitable referral rewards - all managed inside the application. The service is compatible with most of the popular social networking sites.

Since the advent of 3G, the operator community has struggled to find the 'killer application' for always-on devices. However, with more than 650 million subscribers to the top 10 social networking sites, end-users can now enjoy the benefit of mobile data services, by constantly checking or updating lightweight content, which perfectly suits both the mobile device and access networks.

Operators have recognised this trend and have reacted by offering cheap data bundles or customised handsets for social networking but, until now, have found no way to move up the value chain, by either offering dedicated content or compelling applications around the Social Networking domain. The eServGlobal SRM allows operators to participate in the social networking phenomenon, while maintaining their role as the underlying platform for communications.

Designed to be effective in markets approaching all-you-can-eat subscriptions or ultra-low cost per minute, this new service will help operators keep ARPU high by stimulating the user base to communicate frequently inside the operator domain.

Ian Buddery, Executive Chairman of eServGlobal, said: 'The coming year is sure to be challenging for operators. They will have to balance the need to stimulate existing subscribers and increase market share, while at the same time reduce the 'cost to serve' of Value Added Services. By offering the SRM as an adjunct module to an existing system, eServGlobal is able to provide a compelling business case for telecom operators who wish to attract new subscribers and increase revenue.'

eServGlobal has worldwide patents pending for the SRM application, the business intelligence algorithms and the unique deployment options which are available.

eServGlobal will demonstrate the Social Relationship Manager at a launch attended by telecom operators from across the globe at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from 16 to 19 February. Visit Stand 8A69 in Hall 8.

First Half Guidance
eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of end-to-end solutions,
enabling smart communication and payment services for service providers on any
generation network, today announces updated guidance for the half year ended 31
Dec, 2008.
The Company now expects to report half-year revenue of AUD$83million, compared
to AUD$91m in the corresponding period in 2007.EBITDA for the period was
impacted by costs associated with migrating infrastructure to lower cost
locations and is forecast to be above AUD$4.5m. However, this restructuring is
expected to bring subsequent cost savings. The cash balance at 31 Dec, 2008 was
AUD$10m and the Company continues to be debt free.
The outlook for the full year FY2009 is for revenue above AUD$180m. In the
current environment, there is risk associated with the timing of high value
contracts that may affect the final revenue and EBITDA result. The Company will
provide an updated forecast with the audited half year results on 23 February,
2009.
Mr. Ian Buddery, Executive Chairman of eServGlobal, said, "As foreshadowed in my
AGM address on 5 Nov, 2008, we have experienced weaker market conditions in the
first half of our financial year. We commenced our restructuring programme in
October, with all costs accrued, which will begin to bring cost savings in the
second half, taking full effect in the 2010 fiscal year.
"We now have a recovering sales pipeline and the opportunity to improve our
outlook; however, telecoms operators may choose to delay major projects, which
leads us to be cautious in our forecast for this year.
"We enjoyed several highlights in the period, including significant new customer
wins in North America and Latin America. We have maintained our investment in
R&D in 2008 and will be launching major new products at the upcoming Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona (16-19 Feb, 2009). Our Mobile Remittance product
carries strong potential, as it represents both a new revenue channel for
operators and a cost saving for subscribers, both of which are attractive
offerings in the current economic climate."

Eventually received a research note from Numis-looks good.

[davebowler] 25/11/2008 11:59

I've complained about the lack of research availability to ESG. I await their response.

[davebowler] 11/9/2008 12:30

I have just asked Numis for research on ESG and they said no.
Anybody got access?

who are they vehicles for davebowler? i must admit i sold mine after the trading statement. the slippage worried me.

[davebowler] 19/6/2008 10:22

It bothers me that this company,Charlemagne capital and Speymill are all poor performers and vehicles for the same guy.

[oregano] 21/5/2008 10:13

there is usually a trading statement at the period end. the last three have produced upgrades, and Numis increased their price target to 67p after the last set of figures.

The shares came down becasue of poor cash conversion at the interims. The company has addressed this issue with a change in internal processes, and I am informed, the cash posistion will be above previous highs. Numis is forecasting $13.1m ($12.5m) for the full year.

so i think there is some upside here, and would hope for a rally on a trading statement and into results. a pe of 12 for 40% earnings growth is cheap.

Strong performance in a weak market

[garethcarpenter] 07/1/2008 23:36

it was tipped in september.

[valarm] 05/10/2007 08:06

topdoc how did u know it was tipped in rhps
this tip didnt come out until 4/10/07 yet you said it on 2/9/07???????????????????????????????????????????

[dibbs] 04/9/2007 22:47

A flurry of post on the ESG BB! Sorry allstar4eva I missed your earlier post, ages ago.

I bought a few of these at the end of May at around 34p and took a quick profit, selling out around 44p. I liked the chart and the trading prospects sounded bullish so only really intended a short term trade. Not sure that they are especially cheap in PE terms from what I can see.

Topdpc, you have been spot on with your fall prediction. Especially true as ESG seems to follow the ESV price movements on the Aussie market. Funnily enough the Aussie market did not respond to the RHPS tip!

[allstar4eva] 02/9/2007 21:25

Thanks topdoc

[topdoc] 02/9/2007 20:57

Tipped in RHPS expect a rise then a fall back.

[oregano] 09/7/2007 13:20

yes, but i've no idea whay the share price goes up every day, have you?

not that i'm complaining. the size of the move is hard to justify from the forecast upgrade alone.

[allstar4eva] 28/6/2007 23:47

Anyone out there?

[allstar4eva] 18/5/2007 23:14

Yep - although these days I'm not on the BB's much.

[dibbs] 17/5/2007 08:23

Anyone out there?

[dibbs] 18/1/2007 21:43

Allstar4eva,

Hi again, I'd seen the board room trouble RNS, not surprised really, maybe not the easiest cultural mix?
