Just been spending some time looking around the GHT website, on first glance it is flash and modern looking. However, it is too flash in my opinion and is certainly not very intuitive, you have to know where to look for things. Also, it does not work overly well with Windows/Mouse (out hat I know) and is really geared to tablet usage.

For access to general news, blogs, papers etc. you have to know to select the Resources option, as I say not very intuitive. I trust that the Clareti UI does not have the same issues given the claim of ease of use etc.

In the Papers section, the latest entry (published on December 18th but actually produced in October) is titled 'Taming the Fire-Hose Faster than Google'. I presume this is part of the Data Accelerator that GHT development recently. The paper explains that Clareti has a date compression/handling facility called Preon which accelerates data transfer rates in a Big Data world. It is apparently home grown proprietary software, a big tick there I would suggest.

Anyway the conclusion is that GHT's Preon outperforms everything else by quite some margin, including the Google FlatBuffers (66% improvement - 75k operations per second against 45k).

The concluding statement - "We’ve demonstrated that Preon is faster and more efficient than other serialisation technologies. By using Preon we are able to ingest, process and transfer more data using less hardware resources.
Preon is continuously invested in to maintain this best in class performance. Enterprise ready and Production proven, Preon continues to be a core technology for Gresham.".

This seems to underline what we investors home/believe, that the Clareti technology is class leading!

In no particular order this is a list (20) of customers from the GHT website - a rolling banner display. They have 75 plus, I would love to see how that number has risen over time both organically and with acquisition, seems like a KPI as far as an investor is concerned. Can anyone add to the list?

Gresham’s Clareti platform recognised in three respected publications
28 November 2018

New FinTech, RiskTech and RegTech accolades for Gresham

London – 28th November 2018 - Gresham Technologies plc, the leading software and services company that specialises in providing real-time data integrity and control solutions, is delighted to announce recognition in three leading FinTech industry awards.

RiskTech100_2018
Gresham’s enterprise data integrity Clareti platform has been included for the first time in the RegTech 100 2019. A panel of analysts and industry experts voted from a long-list of over 800 companies, compared to 416 last year demonstrating RegTech’s growth as a technology category. The finalists were recognised for their innovative use of technology, or ability to generate efficiency improvements, across regulatory compliance functions.

Secondly, Capital Markets CIO Outlook recognised Gresham in it’s global listing of top 10 Reconciliation Platform Solution Providers. Gresham are ‘at the vanguard of the reconciliation revolution’ and are considered ‘trend setters across the world’ according to the report which focuses on companies innovating in the data management marketplace.

Finally, for the fourth year in a row, Gresham has been recognised in Chartis Research’s market-leading RiskTech100® 2019, rising to #35 this year.

Paul White, CMO of Gresham:

“It is a testament to Gresham’s vision and commitment to innovation that the Clareti platform is recognised so regularly by technology analysts. A common principle across all RiskTech, FinTech and RegTech is that data integrity and control underpins successful innovation, regulatory control and efficiency breakthroughs which is exactly what Clareti is delivering to the most demanding firms around the world”

So on to the question as to how to value GHT. First of all I agree it’s difficult which may not be much help.

What we have really is two separate businesses under one umbrella, the legacy business with 2018 revenue of £8.1M which is declining and the Clareti business with 2018 revenue of £11.9M which is growing albeit at a slower rate than we would like. The two are so different that I think they need to be valued separately.

At an AGM three years or so ago I asked if they had ever considered selling off the legacy business. One of the former directors said that it had been considered in the past but nobody wanted to pay more than twice annual revenue for it. They therefore decided to keep it and at that point in time had received about ten times of annual revenue out of the legacy business plus of course more since, so clearly it was a good decision. I suspect that without the continuation of the legacy revenue there would have to have been fund raisings.

Concerning the Clareti side that is difficult. A current PE is meaningless particularly if we do have a pre tax loss although broker forecasts going forward could be a good base. A price sales ratio might be another way. To get a high PE the market would probably be looking for a higher growth rate than we have had recently.

Of course if a bidder comes along that changes everything and would depend on how much the bidder values the technology.

I was away travelling when the TU came through and at first I was a bit concerned that it was sneaked out on Friday afternoon. It seems however that they got it right seeing what has happened subsequently. I find it interesting that the two institutional buys were recorded as having happened on the Friday. Makes you wonder what goes on in the city sometimes.

I think the TU was much in line with what was anticipated. Considering the drop in EBITDA I suspect that we may be looking at a pre tax loss when the full results come out in March but hopefully that is well anticipated.

I was pleased that they said they expect to remain financially strong throughout 2019 and beyond, although I would have preferred them to state more specifically something about their cash generation. The cash position looks OK particularly when you consider they had to pay out for the recent acquisition. I don’t see the need for a fundraising now at least in the next twelve months unless it was for another acquisition and I would not even mind that as long as any acquisition enhances earnings.

So having weighed things up, I decided that I thought that the market had over reacted with the sell off and with clumsy fingers on my mobile, bought another 10,000 at 69.5P on Monday morning. As the price moved up so quickly and I was in the money, I was considering whether to buy more, then along came the announcements regarding the insti purchases, so yesterday morning I bought another 10,000 at 79.8P so I am more overweight than ever with GHT or will be if the price recovers decently. According to the Hargreaves Lansdown website, if I have read it correctly, my two buys are comfortably the largest this week which I find surprising, unless there is something else going on in the background.

So I have had a good couple of days. I suspect 100P might be bit difficult to break and we will need to see the full financials before we can expect too much more, however I do think that revised broker target of 180P will be achievable this year assuming things get back on track. I think amt made a good comment yesterday, when he questioned whether the market would now be prepared to put a valuation of £2 let alone more on the company given the slow growth rate.

Not sure its worth talking about valuations of business of gresham, as our attempt at forecasting share prices proved, it is a futile exercise.

For me, very broadly speaking, IF they can get their revenues to £30m-50m, then profits are probably £10m-£15m, then we are in the big smallcap or even midcap territory. How long will that take who knows but big institutions have stuck by them for best part of 2 decades and so have I.

Like amt I am also seeing this as a second chance at lower prices, I have added and will add more.

dd thanks for the info, clearly very good news that these long-term investors see value at this level. It does seem that the share price fall has been somewhat overdone but some smaller (and I suspect recent buyers) have bailed out at any cost due to the missed 2018 numbers.

Also, the clear focus now is the Clareti recurring revenues, cash position and I guess EBITDA, with non Clareti and total turnover being secondary indicators.

So dd, any thoughts on how you would value GHT on Clareti alone?

amt sorry but I think you are missing my point. I do understand the basic business rules and the requirement for 6 monthly reporting and that large contract wins can fall the wrong side. My experience of sales cycles (quite extensive actually) is that sadly it is the norm for things to move right so this cannot have been a surprise to the GHT management.

The loss of 'grip' that I refer to is the lack of GHT foresight, the way they have reported and their selection of KPI's. The story now seems to be that GHT are chasing larger contracts (good) and that the timing of these are difficult to predict accurately and that we should concentrate on Clareti recurring revenue as the primary health measurement. The problem is that this is, after the event thinking/communication, and consequently the share price has collapsed.

There has been an ongoing concern on here that GHT simply do not provide enough information so that investors can make a judgement on progress, sadly this latest information flow has yet again underlined that.

Not long ago people were aiming for 3 quid. Investors are very fickle. I realised in was high risk short term when it was 1.60p so mostly sold out. Didn't make much mind you. I think the longterm story is just the same though. At one time I thought I could just buy these shares and leave them for ten years. Now I realise I have to be a bit more dynamic to make more money.
Like BGO these seem to be good shares to buy in and out of. I expect the market is going to be more cautious about sticking a 2 quid valuation on them for 2 or 3 years anyway. Always possibility of a takeover mind you.

In the period from mid July to end of November there was hardly any movement in GHT share price. Now it is all excitement. About 6 weeks ago we were speculating on whether there would be “the normal update” on January 9th. Well-before-that we had news we did not want to hear, quickly followed by more news we are not sure about, like “the curates egg”. Do we still expect the “normal update”? Now, today, the share price has jumped up over 10% (it was before I started to write this). Is this simply that the fall was overdone? Or has the existing news been read differently? Or what? This is exciting, is it not? At least I am pleased that I bought more of these when the price was below 70p!!

I thought the update was positive, I had previously talked about 2019 and 2020 were going to bring us a step change and that large contract proves my point. It would have been good to win it in a more positive background. Some more of these in the next 18 months will see us at another level.

But I have to agree about IM 3 rns in 3 months, suddenly he cannot update shareholders enough and is looking a little desperate. Good!

Gottafly. I am afraid that's the nature of business. Its nothing to do with a loss of grip. If only the business world was that simple but its not. I have an investment in D4T4 which had a similar issue with timing of contracts. There was a temporary dip in share price which I made the most of. I shall do the same here.
Valhamos spot on. Couldn't have put it better.
