Liontrust exits Iomart

Liontrust managers Anthony Cross and Julian Fosh have sold their position in Iomart (IOM) over concerns about its competitive advantage.

The duo exited the IT managed services provider held in their Liontrust UK Smaller Companies fund as they had become ‘increasingly concerned over the strength of the company’s competitive advantage, as the dominance of hyperscale cloud providers has grown and businesses have increasingly turned to public cloud solutions.’

Iomart, which owns data centres and specialises in cloud services, it has seen organic growth and operating profit markets trend downwards, which has ‘put significant pressure on cashflow returns on capital’.

‘Although the company has committed to reshaping its offering, hoping to grow higher margin, faster growing areas of managed service provision such as data and cyber security, we believe the risk of effecting such a transition in the glare of the public markets outweighs the potential reward and have taken the decision to exit the position,’ said the managers.

The shares fell 1.7% to 80.7p on Friday, extending losses to 49% over the last 12 months.

Without the prior acquisition announcement the reaction to Wednesday's figures would surely have been far less kind, even if results were in line with Oct 1 t/u and notwithstanding the hit it already took back then.

Post by Target Price on the LSE - 1/10/24

Have followed this company for a while and was contemplating having a nibble, but don't like this deal.

Before the deal (and trading update / downgrades) at 112p they were trading at roughly 7.5x EV/EVIT (£125m mcap, £20m debt, £19m EBIT for FY25). Arguably decent valuation to get in at given the quality of the company. After the deal and downgrades, at 106p, they are at 12x EV/EBIT for FY25 and 9.5x for FY26. Not sure the business justifies that valuation until they demonstrate growth. And they are v geared now. £80m bank debt and a £7.5m pa interest bill. Vs EBITDA it might look OK, but bear in mind that a) EBITDA is flattered by lease accounting, and b) they spend a lot on capex. Hence why adj EBIT is about £20m lower than adj EBITDA (for FY26 £40m vs £20m).

It looks like they're buying growth tbh, which is a bit damning re the existing business not being able to grow; and also damning that despite trying for some time they cant / haven't been able to attract the talent to organically build the cloud based competencies that Atech provides. And they're paying a high price - 17x EBITDA for a business that whilst growing only delivers EBITDA margins of 10%.

If I was clutching at straws it would be re synergies and cost they can take out. But the risk with this is it impacts growth and existing customer retention, and is expensive to do in terms of cash.

Will continue to watch it. Maybe if the shares really struggle from here the valuation will be attractive enough given the balance sheet and integration risk...

Looking for an up to date viewpoint, as the share price craters yet again, now comfortably below 100p.

What on earth is going on? I though Ms Dimes was meant to steady the ship and move the company back towards organic growth. All we've seen so far is more acquisitions. There will come a time when the banks will need to say no. The company can't keep borrowing to maintain its meagre profits.

Where will this share be in a month?

iomart Group plc issued a pre-close trading statement for the year ended 31 March 2023 this morning. The Group expects to deliver FY performance in line with market expectations. For the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group expects to report revenue of approximately £115 million (FY22: £103.0 million), adjusted EBITDA of approximately £36.2 million (FY22: £38.0 million) and adjusted profit before tax of approximately £14.6 million (FY22: £17.1 million). So a return to topline expansion with some pressure on margins, but still generally profitable for the sector. Net debt was roughly steady and comfortable at around £41m. Valuation is also relatively attractive with forward PE ratio at 10.8x top quartile for the Software & IT Services sector. Share price remains in a longer run correction and lacks positive momentum for now, there is no rush to buy. IOM is a share to monitor for now...

Still unexciting.

One wonders how they are going to deliver on that £200m revenue target within the next three years outside of passing on energy price increases.

Agree - barring any more nasty surprises - the share price should gradually move back upwards from this low point but I am not expecting it to happen overnight gla

We'll the share price hasn't reacted much to that earnings report, must have already been widely priced in then?

Liontrust UK Small Cap fund - 10/11/21:

Unfortunately, the portfolio’s largest absolute share price move in October was a negative one, as Iomart (-32%) fell heavily. The company has been slow to adapt to the changing market environment in which it operates – notably the dramatic shift from private to public cloud, which was accelerated by the Covid crisis. It issued a profit warning in April and another in October, noting that customer churn remains higher than usual and revenues from hardware reselling and one-off consultancy have dropped. We actively continue to assess Iomart’s business prospects within the context of this shift.
