They have got away with this placing basically because the top 6 holders who own 70% of the shares have to shore it up to protect their own investment. Gresham still have 28%. In the cold light of day they are halving the debt while more than doubling the share count. Still holding a substantial debt plus the new 5 million loan note. 80p warrants exercisable within 2 years, but not for retail investors. That could be a struggle to get to with their deplorable track record. Was it 2020 they did a placing @12p (£1.20 after consolidation)? Sp is standing up at the moment. That might change when the new shares flood the market in January. I got out with a small loss at 95p. I have kept an eye on it because its hard to understand the patience of institutional holders, and couldnt see it going sub 60p again and now having risen briefly to £1.10 its settled 40p. Fail to see anything vaguely attractive about this company, especially the management. This has been agro. Far better investments out there

It’s a stinker. 28 million to strengthen the balance sheet! Why have they been paying a dividend all this time. Gives Aim a terrible name. Will be amazed if they get this away at 40p which is 4p before they rearranged the share price. Audacious is about all I could say. Feels more like a rescue bid than a raise. Best of luck. Hope the share price holds tomorrow I really do.

I'm a long term holder but don't remember inspired ever actually making a profit. Always seem to publish great EBITDA figures though. But presumably sufficient cash flow to pay a decent dividend which is not to be sneezed at. No wonder the share price sucks. Am I missing something here?

Looks like a big sigh of relief, with the 2024 profit downgrade already factored in to the share price given the decline, as:

- all three major optimisation contracts are kicking in, benefiting H1'25 onwards
- consequently the banks have agreed to a temporary resetting of covenants so are evidently unconcerned

This all time low price contradicts an OK trading update!!!!

Good summary 1gw, reflects my thoughts too. Superficially given the ridiculously low P/E and the encouraging prospects, including in the fast-growth software and ESG divisions, INSE now seems very cheap.

But taking into account the possibility of a short-term profits downgrade given the H2 reliance on a few major contracts, plus the big chunk of debt, it's hardly surprising that some have sold. Combined with INSE's relative illiquidity this has led to a sharp and perhaps overdone decline in the share price.

If INSE can combine its generally good cash flows with a sharp reduction in debt given that deferred consideration payments are now almost finished, and if the contracts come through in H2 (one of which has already) then maybe there's excellent upside here in the next few months. But those are big "if's"!

I've just watched the IMC presentation. Uninspiring in delivery as usual, but the content is good.

Still none the wiser really about the termination of the deed of variation with Ignite, but I suspect it's something to do with the optimisation services growth opportunities not coming through quite as fast as they hoped (a symptom of which is the uncertainty over Q4 delivery) and so the contingent payments were perhaps not going to pay out as much as the vendors had hoped. This means it makes sense for both sides to accelerate the integration.

They did quantify the risk to 4Q delivery - I heard £5m on gross margin, presumably if both big optimisation projects slip into 2025.

IF things play out broadly as they hope then the balance sheet should improve fairly quickly going forward - i.e. if they can keep generating ops cash but no longer have the really big contingent payments to fund then debt should come down meaningfully. But in the current environment, and with a somewhat patchy track record, I wonder how many investors are prepared to bake that into their share purchase decisions?

Trading update seems to have confused everyone - or perhaps everyone is just on holiday? Share price reaction certainly uninspiring.

Net debt has gone up materially in 1H thanks to payment of £8.4m cash contingent consideration. But they state that there is now only a further £2.2m of contingent consideration to fund, which is due in 2H.

They state they are confident of meeting market consensus for full-year results, but then appear to give a warning on risk by saying that this is dependent on delivering a small number of significant projects. Feels very much like they're hedging their bets here and positioning to explain any miss should there be a delay to 1 or more of those projects.

The explanation of the termination of the deed of variation is anything but clear. It is presented as a positive thing (acceleration of integration) but at the same time they are writing back £5.4m of contingent consideration which suggests that perhaps the Ignite business isn't performing quite as hoped. It has been replaced by consultancy agreements with a performance fee based on gross margin targets.

We can hope for a bit more colour and interpretation on 12th September when the results are published and the presentations given.

The core business is now an excellent cash generator - paying a 2.9p dividend - and the company has a very bullish outlook for this and the following years.

The vast majority of the contingent consideration which has weighed on INSE in recent years will be paid this year.

With INSE being on such a cheap single-figure multiple for its core business - and with both ESG and Software coming up on the rails and experiencing fast growth - it should imo continue to make up ground towards the analyst's 200p price target.

Cheers Saj. I got the usual no response from investor email. All is well ? With the share price falling back to new lows again. I know they cant direct the share price, but clearly increasing debt does not impress the market for such a lowly venture, especially when it exceeds profit.there is no disguising the figures.Why has nobody bought it out at this alleged bargain price? Has not proved itself to the market yet. Just my luck if this is the one company Wotton has got massively wrong. Actually there are other like rcdo and brk, but nowhere near as bad as Inse. Fortunately out of both those now. The thing is can the money be put to better use? The divi is ok but not great, paid out of debt. Will be lots more than fund managers looking for a decent exit. Should have taken 10p or a pound equivalent. Going to be a rather long haul otherwise.
