Netcall in upbeat mode



At its AGM held earlier today, software specialist Netcall (NET) has issued an upbeat message with news of a strong start to the year.

The AIM counter develops and sells end-to-end customer engagement software to clients ranging from the public sector to large corporates. Current trading is in line with expectations, but of more interest its sales orders are 'significantly ahead' of this time last year.

Thanks to a number of new blue chip names, in addition to several police forces, local authorities and NHS trusts, Netcall is in rude health. Strong cash generation has also helped boost its net cash pile by £1 million to £6.87 million. Speaking to Growth Company Investor finance director James Ormondroyd said 'things are going in the right direction' he added that the company is 'still looking' for potential acquisitions.

We highlighted the attractions of Netcall in the current issue of Growth Company Investor at 19p. The latest news cements our argument, but due to recent market volatility the price has proved lacklustre of late - up 0.625p to 17.25p today. House broker Evolution continues to place a 25p target on Netcall. Buy

Growth Company Tip:

Software supplier Netcall (NET) has unveiled a 0.4p a share maiden dividend, largely thanks to the benefit of acquiring AIM rival Telephonetics last year.

The move significantly boosted its market presence and product portfolio. Netcall also admits that the deal has achieved higher than expected annual cost savings of £1.8 million, largely due to a reduction in management charges, lower PLC charges by combining operations, and the elimination of certain property costs.

AIM listed Netcall has an impressive roster of over 600 clients, including names such as: British Telecom, Halifax, the NHS and Autoglass. By combining both businesses it has established a significant cross-selling pipeline - a situation that is working well, indeed current trading is 'well ahead' of last year according to chief executive Henrik Bang.

In the year to June, sales leapt 229 per cent to £13.6 million as the group achieved a swing to the black with a pre-tax profit of £546,000 (2010: £235,000 loss). The strong performance, coupled with a £4.25 million placing earlier in the year, has left its net cash balance at £5.9 million, this has since increased to £6.5 million.

Recurring revenue of £9.3 million exceeds its current overheads of £9.1 million, so new business drops quickly through to the bottom line. It has merged both CRM platforms into a common framework and integrated both sales forces. With its key markets in health, and the public/private sectors, Netcall argues it has 100 live business opportunities.

The chunky cash balance is likely to be spent on more acquisitions. As many as 150 UK companies have sales in the £2-10 million range, so Netcall is keen to seek out those that bring new customers and new technology. Evolution forecasts 2012 pre-tax profits of £2.9 million and EPS of 1.8p. Up 7 per cent to 17.375p today, the broker places a 25p target on the shares, which is not unrealistic. Buy.

Quite possibly but as we know this mkt is hard to please.

"The Board is confident that the levels of profit and cash generation are sustainable and is therefore delighted to propose a maiden dividend of 0.4 pence per share at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting"

[spaceparallax] 26/9/2011 09:56

Great results indeed - a pleasure to see in these tough times.

[chrisdgb] 26/9/2011 08:43
