NWT's comment this week about further scaling the business was interesting.

Suggesting, as it does, revenue increases without a substantial increase in resources -

"Growth vs scaling: What's the difference and why does it matter?
By Patrick Whatman
Published June 8, 2021
... Let's begin with the most common distinction between these two terms. In general, we think of growth in linear terms: a company adds new resources (capital, people, or technology), and its revenue increases as a result.
By contrast, scaling is when revenue increases without a substantial increase in resources. ..."



For the year just ended, NWT's revenue should be somewhere in the region of £20M.

So increasing it significantly from there could potentially move it into the £30 - £40M. range - e.g. within a few years.

This could potentially deliver significant economies of scale, with costs not increasing as fast: so multi-million pound profitability could potentially be on the cards.

And if the share price is re-rated accordingly to reflect the company's growth, recurring revenues, and technological innovation and leadership, then a £100M. market cap. could be achievable.

As the world returns to the workplace after the pandemic, quality access control has never been more important, which is why business is booming.

Managers need to ensure safe workplaces for their staff, and there are a few keys to this:-

• Restricting access for people who may be infected.

• Contactless control, to avoid unnecessary physical contact.

• Remote monitoring.

This has created new opportunities for NWT, which it seems to be capitalising on.

"Honeywell Delivers Strong First Quarter Results, Adjusted EPS Exceeds High End Of Guidance Range; Raises Full-Year Adjusted EPS Range By 10 Cents And Midpoint Of Sales Guidance

... CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 29, 2022 -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced results for the first quarter that met or exceeded the company's guidance in a challenging operating environment. The company also raised the midpoint of its full-year sales guidance and increased its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance.

The company reported first quarter organic sales growth of 1%, or 3% excluding the impact of lower COVID-mask volumes. Operating margin contracted by 260 basis points to 15.2% due to a $183 million charge related to the substantial suspension of its operations in Russia, which translated to a loss of approximately $30M in sales in the first quarter. Segment margin expanded by 10 basis points to 21.1%, or 40 basis points excluding the year over year Quantinuum impact, exceeding the high end of the company's guidance range by 10 basis points as a result of the company's commercial excellence efforts. Adjusted earnings per share1 was $1.91, down 1% year over year but one cent above the high end of the company's guidance range.

"Honeywell delivered a strong start to 2022, meeting or exceeding expectations in the first quarter despite considerable new macroeconomic challenges and the ongoing impact of supply chain constraints," said Darius Adamczyk, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. "Organic sales growth was underpinned by double-digit growth in our commercial aviation aftermarket, building products, productivity solutions and services, and advanced materials businesses. Demand remained strong, with orders up 13% year over year and long-cycle orders growth of over 20%, which will help drive growth as we progress through 2022. Closing backlog was $28.5 billion2, up 9% year over year, led by strength in Aero, HBT, and PMT. Our strategic pricing actions allowed us to continue to stay ahead of the inflation curve, enabling us to expand segment margins and exceed the high end of our EPS guidance range. We also continued to leverage our strong balance sheet, deploying $2.0 billion of total capital in the quarter with $1.0 billion allocated to share repurchases as we executed on our updated commitment to buy back $4 billion in shares in 2022. From an M&A perspective, we closed the acquisition of U.S. Digital Designs, a public safety communications hardware and software solutions provider."

Adamczyk continued, "As we look toward the rest of 2022, we are well positioned to navigate the macroeconomic environment and remain confident in our ability to execute on our rigorous operating principles and deliver strong results. We see solid recovery in our key commercial aerospace and energy end markets, and our ongoing investments in areas like our sustainable technology solutions business will provide additional sources of growth. Our operational excellence is enabling us to absorb the impact of external macroeconomic factors, and today I am pleased to announce that we are raising the midpoint of our sales guidance and improving our EPS outlook."

... Honeywell Building Technologies sales for the first quarter were up 8% on an organic basis year over year driven by strength across the building products portfolio, partially offset by lower projects volume. Orders were up double digits as a result of strong demand for fire products and building management systems. Segment margin expanded 100 basis points to 23.5% due to pricing actions and favorable sales mix, partially offset by cost inflation. ..."

"Recurring Revenue
By DANIEL LIBERTO Updated March 04, 2021
Reviewed by MICHAEL J BOYLE

What is Recurring Revenue?
Recurring revenue is the portion of a company's revenue that is expected to continue in the future. Unlike one-off sales, these revenues are predictable, stable and can be counted on to occur at regular intervals going forward with a relatively high degree of certainty. ...

Many market pundits consider recurring revenue to be a highly desirable quality. They make a company more stable and predictable, both operationally and financially, lowering the risk that business will take a drastic turn from one month to the next.

That stability usually comes at a cost. Investors are regularly willing to pay more for the earnings generated by companies with recurring revenues because their forecasts are deemed more reliable. ... "



Recurring revenues are also cheaper to generate after the first year, because the initial sales cost doesn't have to be repeated.

But their most important trait is that they largely keep on coming in, year after year.

So unlike one-off sales, which need to be matched annually just to stand still, recurring revenues create a base - and staircase - for revenues to grow upon year after year.

"Our Strategy

“To help address some of the major challenges facing corporations in an environment of ever-increasing global security concerns and add value for all of our stakeholders through partnership and innovation.”

Security has evolved. Once, providing security for employees, staff and visitors meant providing a safe physical environment. Today that environment includes and extends beyond physical security to online as people are equally concerned about the security of their data and identity.

Newmark plans to continue its strategy of investing heavily in research and development allowing the Company to stay ahead of the curve and ensure the highest levels of secure technologies for its customers. The Company is continually innovating in fields such as biometrics, cloud services and mobile authentication to ensure its products are at the forefront of the sectors it operates in.

We will realise this mission by continuing to develop exceptional and secure products and services backed up by industry leading support."

We put a strong focus on developing our market intelligence during the year. It's through a continuous and thorough understanding of our markets that we can target the product developments and offerings that will make a difference for our customers. There are a number of important trends we seek to address, with one of the most important being data protection and quality. This is driven not just by stronger legislation in the US and Europe, but also by the increasing need for companies to present themselves as responsible and trustworthy in a competitive market.

We continue to see growth in the Human Capital Management (HCM) market being facilitated through the technology 'drivers' of high-speed internet availability and the subsequent mass shift to Cloud based computing. We are developing our HCM software platforms with a Cloud and Application Programming Interface ("API") first approach. This approach prioritises the use of a Cloud infrastructure along with APIs to provide seamless connectivity and integration between back-end and front-end systems for customers.

...That's why I am so excited about our newly developed Cloud platform, which we expect to launch in the winter.

Managing data privacy and security

Another element of building a strong reputation is how we manage data privacy and data security, in particular biometric data, such as fingerprints and face identification. In the US, there are different rules for biometric data capture and what you can do with it, depending on which state you are in, while in Europe and the UK, we have to adhere to General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") rules.

It is complex, which is why we have also invested significantly in our workflow management of biometric data. That has meant gathering the consent of people for using their data in the US and Europe, and ensuring that we have annual penetration testing of our systems - both our timeclocks and our Cloud platforms. We are dealing with this ahead of any potential Federal legislation in the US, reassuring our customers that we are secure, and future proofing our systems. ...

New Cloud platform

With our newly developed Cloud platform due to launch in the winter, we are using a Cloud and Application Programming Interface ("API") first approach. This means we can prioritise the use of a Cloud infrastructure along with APIs to provide seamless connectivity and integration between back-end and front-end systems for customers. We have incorporated new technologies to support Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to the platform, and we have significantly expanded its middleware capabilities - which will enable smoother integration with our partners' time management platforms, and help us onboard customers, as our systems will talk to each other better. ..."

... SaaS-Delivered Identities: Digital transformation has brought with it a move to cloud deployments and service models, providing opportunities to manage access control for applications, physical assets, and data, while new form factors enable seamless, trusted authentication. As digital-first mandates continue to impact the security landscape, 2022 will see SaaS-delivered identities become not just the norm, but the expectation.

Digital IDs: Digital wallet adoption is at an all-time high. Big technology companies are increasing new credential functionality in applications. Enterprises and governments are adding new infrastructure to support digital transactions. In 2022, there will be a tipping point for digital IDs to outpace physical ones, and digital services will play a vital role as suppliers organise around service models and service-led growth.

Future of Work: Hybrid work models are the norm today and a zero-trust approach for all is a top trend dominating the security industry in 2022. Leaders tasked with ensuring a safe environment for those returning to the office – and secure identity and access management for those working remotely – are looking to the latest physical access trends and the best practices enabling them. Touchless solutions, data protection, and visitor management technologies are ensuring healthy and secure on-site environments while multi-factor authentication solutions take centre stage for remote applications.

Security’s role in delivering biometric technology that enables secure authentication and protects data privacy is emerging across sectors of the economy.

Data Science: The combination of IoT, cloud and mobile technologies is steadily driving digital transformation across the security industry. Balancing protection against the potential of new physical and digital cyber security threats has moved data science into the spotlight, as discussion turns from risk mitigation and prevention to threat prediction and aversion. In 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become more tightly woven into the fabric of trusted identity solutions across the physical and digital continuum, automating and optimizing performance, accuracy, safety, and security."

Like AI, the cloud is not a new trend in our industry, but it is an expanding one. From small business markets to enterprise levels, we can see the momentum push more and more businesses to leverage cloud-based security solutions and services. And as we are witnessing even now, the pandemic has accelerated the movement to cloud-based operations for people and businesses around the world.

All businesses want platforms or services that offer simplicity, with as few assets to manage as possible, and a setup that's as simple as possible. This is precisely where the cloud delivers. With a cloud-hosting infrastructure, there is no need for a local server or software. Users can conveniently check the status of their assets and businesses in real time, receive security events and alarms quickly, and accomplish emergency responses simply using a mobile app. For security business operators, the cloud enables them to remotely help their clients configure devices, fix bugs, maintain and upgrade security systems, and provide better value-added services.
