FYI Techinvest in their May issue had a long Buy feature on FNX, which concluded as follows:

"The board sounded confident about prospects for the second half of the financial year, pointing to a solid base of recurring revenue from existing clients and the addition of new customers such as News UK (Virgin Radio & talkSport), Lebara
and Grace Media. The upcoming launch of services in Portugal further strengthens growth prospects.

With Fonix’s business model underpinned by strong commercial partnerships and significant long-term opportunities in international markets, we feel that the shares have considerable potential for further price appreciation in the
years ahead. Strong cash generation and a solid balance sheet also support the investment case, as the company has ample funding to create a wider base of operations and attract new customers globally.

In addition, the business benefits from a high level of recurring revenue and a strong operating margin of nearly 18%. Continue to buy for exposure to a highly
successful niche operator in the fast-growing mobile payments and interactive services domain."

2024 eps split was 5.7p 1Half and 5.1p 2nd half
2023 eps split was 4.9p 1Half and 4p 2nd half
2022 eps split was 4.4p 1half and 3.7p 2nd half

I'm not sure where you get your 52%/48% profit split from mammyyoko.

Also it could be argued the secondary sale last year was what stopped the rise in the share price dead in it's tracks and the trend has been lumpy but downwards ever since.

So I'm also not sure why you think a further secondary sale won't be damaging.I think the price of such a sale would be pretty important to know first.The last one came at a hefty discount to the prevailing market price at the time.No wonder it was oversubscribed !!

Perhaps more interesting than a fund taking some profits is who's been doing the buying which has boosted the share price so rapidly since April? Especially given the supply of shares to the market from Slater.

There's been no holding RNS's in respect of the buying yet (AFAICS - Rathbones have been moving up and down at the edges), and it's unlikely that PIs would have driven such a rise.

Management - and especially employees - should be incentivised, especially given the excellent job they're doing.

These options are minimally dilutive, and most importantly are only exerciseable at 180.5p each compared to the usual nil cost options issued by most PLCs.

Again, the total options now in issue are just 1.76% of the shares in issue!

And the prior sale by management was only at 225p, so not that much above the current price - which was so oversubscribed by institutional demand it had to be increased by some 50%.

The main three sellers still own from memory around 33% of the company, so are extremely incentivised on the same basis as the rest of us shareholders.

Above all, it's good to see the share price bouncing nicely. Hopefully this means the seller(s) are now out.

Maybe, but they surely got those options at very good relative price.

I also seem to remember that the management sold out a chunk of their holdings when the share price was a lot higher.

Thus, the management are doing a lot better on capital appreciation than their shareholders a lot of whom are in the red.

I think shareholders would feel a bit happier if they reflected a more average price above £2.

Investors Champion still positive on FNX :-



Results for 6 months to 31 December 2024 (18/03/25)
Gross profit for the period increased 6.5% to £9.8m driven by 6% growth in mobile payments, 10% growth in mobile messaging, and 4% growth in managed services. Geographically, gross profit grew by 6% in the UK and 9% across the rest of Europe.

Revenue for the period declined by 2% to £38.8m, primarily due to a reduction in voice telephony services, which are largely pass-through transactions. As a result of the change in the revenue profile of mobile payments, blended gross profit margins increased to 25.2% (H1 FY24: 23.2%).

Total payment volumes (TPV) fell to £150m (H1 FY24: £158m), reflecting fewer charity campaigns, a reduction in low-margin voice telephony services, and the exit of some gaming customers from the UK market.

Fonix has secured contracts with each of the major mobile network operators in Portugal, marking a significant milestone in its international expansion. A strategic partnership with NOS, one of Portugal's leading telecom providers, further strengthens its market presence and enables the delivery of the Campaign Manager product to NOS' extensive network of broadcast customers.

In the UK, interactive services have been launched with News UK across its talkSPORT and Virgin Radio brands, reinforcing relationships with major media partners.

Fonix signed a two-year agreement with Bauer to remain its exclusive provider of premium SMS services in the UK.

The product portfolio has been expanded with the launch of two innovative solutions designed to unlock new revenue opportunities from existing customers from early summer 2025:

-PayFlex: A cutting-edge tool that recovers failed mobile payments by integrating Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

-DonationPortal: A dedicated solution for charities, offering branded donation pages, streamlined Gift Aid processing, and real-time analytics to enhance donor engagement.
Adjusted profit before tax climbed 5.4% to £7.8m while adjusted earnings per share rose 8.8% to 6.2 pence.

In line with the Company's progressive dividend policy to pay out at least 75% of adjusted EPS, the interim dividend was raised 11% to 2.9p per share,. This is in addition to a special dividend of 3.0p per share paid in February 2025.

International expansion is accelerating, with early discussions with mobile operators and broadcasters across several high-potential European markets.

Customer services in the Republic of Ireland continue to operate unchanged and are experiencing growth, with no anticipated changes this year.

Underlying cash (excluding cash held on behalf of customers) was £11.0m (H1 FY24: £11.2m) at the period end, of which £3.0m was subsequently returned to shareholders in February 2025 in the form of a special dividend of 3.0p per share.

Outlook

With a solid base of recurring revenue from existing clients and the addition of new customers including News UK, Lebara, and Grace Media, along with the upcoming launch of services in Portugal, Fonix is well-placed for a strong second half of the financial year. The Board anticipates a stronger second half weighting than usual periods, driven by the growing client base and steady demand for enterprise messaging solutions.

Looking ahead, Fonix's expanding range of products and focused international growth strategy offer clear opportunities across key European markets.

Forecasts and valuation
For the year ending June 2025, profit is forecast to rise 2% to £14.3m with earnings per share up 1.8% to 10.9 pence. Given the strong momentum, enhanced product offerring, overseas expansion and anticipated stronger second half to the year, those forecasts look too low to us. The forecast dividend of 11.8 pence (which includes the special) is a yield of 6.5% at the current 182 pence share price (market cap £180m).

Fellow AIM peers Boku (LON:BOKU) and Bango (LON:BGO) offer services to the App stores and remain loss making. Boku had revenues in 2024 of £99m and is currently valued at £485m (March 2025). Bango had revenues of $46m in 2023 and is valued at £63m.

I think managing the share price is difficult here. Management and employees want to be able to take capital out, so sell shares. I bought more shares today @ 197p and for all the reasons expressed here think this is a solid holding with good dividends and steady growth. The results also included the outlook which with all the forthcoming extra services and customer wins looks very promising for the future. Probably a takeover candidate too. I’m going to buy more.

Dividend this year 2.9p + say 5.9p on finals at buy price £1.92 = 4.6%

Also paid 3.0p special dividend earlier this year, giving over 6% for us longer term investors.

Not bad for solid, well run growth share with good profits and 99% recurring revenue.

Today's share price reaction just shows how poor the UK market is, where small companies are unloved and sell offs are indiscriminate.

It will change.

Added more this morning and outlook for stronger H2 is bullish.

Looks good to me. Should recover some of its recent losses and the share price will hopefully be back up to the highs in due course, and then on to new highs. Great to see the progressive dividend policy working.

We are pleased to declare our increased interim dividend of 2.9p per share, in line with the Company's progressive dividend policy to pay out at least 75% of adjusted EPS to shareholders in the form of an ordinary dividend each period. The interim dividend will be paid on 4 April 2025 to shareholders on the register on 28 March 2025 (record date), with an ex-dividend date of 27 March 2025.
