New contract win announced today - hopefully the first of many

[petersinthemarket] 05/9/2018 18:10

After that report, is this a buy, or is it going out of business? I would have sold my holding today had it been worth anything. I found the results depressing and the mkt doesn't seem over impressed either.

Spectacular growth from a low starting point. Realistic chance of being a big winner.

I think there are almost 2 different companies here. There is the company prior to AWS and the company post-AWS. Onboarding new clients should see huge uplift surely after the move to AWS and cloud-based service provision.

From the release today:

Our AWS platform was launched in October 2017 and took its first transactions in December 2017, meaning that the vast majority of the revenue reflected in this half year has been driven by our first-generation platform. Due to the technical architecture of the-first generation platform, we sometimes supply, low-margin, third party, customised Session Border Controller (SBC) equipment to the contact centres that allows them to connect to our solution. For example, in the first half of the previous financial year we supplied GBP178,000 of SBC equipment to one such client. The AWS platform does not require this sort of equipment to access our services. The one-off nature of the equipment sales has skewed our headline revenue performance which is only showing a 3% growth, strip out the effect of the equipment sales and underlying headline growth is 28%.

they say uk will be making a profit by the end of the year but the figures don't make sense to me
costs have soared
means turnover is going to have to go some to make breakeven

[ntv] 19/3/2018 15:24

got about a year to get to breakeven or it will run out of cash
no forecasts about and management give nothing away
just bounce a few figures around in the statement

[ntv] 19/3/2018 15:20

halved from the top now

[jonthetourist] 19/3/2018 13:40

That's certainly my hope, but costs are increasing too, so I would like to see a company projection as to when revenue exceeds costs.

[vanadiumx] 19/3/2018 13:36

Now we are at the placing price of 45p!

[vanadiumx] 19/3/2018 13:04

Jon - with all the cloud infrastructure in place to onboard new clients efficiently and rapidly, and with GDPR being the hot topic right now, I am expecting the next few months to see PCI-Pal heading into profitable territory. All the stars seem to be aligned here for rapid scaling of this business.

All current customers appear to be very happy and are even prepared to recommend the company to others (see PCI Pal's You Tube channel for first-hand evidence of this).

[jonthetourist] 19/3/2018 12:32

The key question is can they get to breakeven and profitability before the placing funds run out. I would like to see a cashflow projection from management.

[ntv] 19/3/2018 09:30

100% retenion rates for customers is pretty impressive for any company
pity they didn't treat small shareholders in the same way

[shoee62] 15/3/2018 09:43

For the last year or longer until early January there has been a steady seller which seems to have kept the share price from moving too quickly. In early January, that changed and the share price took off.
Given fund raise coming, that seller could have been a larger shareholder who was "taken inside" and known about the fund raise, which means you can't deal under the rules. No seller = price took off to unrealistic levels.

[bad gateway] 15/3/2018 09:31

Yes I know theres different ways of looking at it. I was moving my acct over from Barcs to IG when the T.U. came out and was convinced i could sell in the low 50's and buy back when i'd moved the cash across so was actually quite miffed at the sharp move up.
Thought i'd missed out here so the placing news suited me but recognise it would be viewed differently by those still holding when the placing rns hit.

[horneblower] 15/3/2018 09:19

Another way of looking at it is that the market was manipulated upwards from its 55p base in January in order to get the rights away at 45p rather than the 40p it would have been otherwise.
This, as always, came as a mixed blessing. Existing holders were diluted less. Newer shareholders (me amongst them, unfortunately) were royally shafted.
C'est la vie.

[ntv] 15/3/2018 08:57

by the way i din't chase it as i buy and hold
or sell and short
it was criminal how the market was manipulated

[bad gateway] 15/3/2018 08:31

Wouldn't argue with the above points but it was pi's momentum trading that bid this illiquid stock up so high after the placing warning. Perhaps they just couldn't get institutions to back them at that high level?
Still seem to have a bright future just some patience before buying into the growth story was needed by investors back in Dec and that didn't happen.

"I am extremely pleased with how the current financial year has started. The level of global enquiries we are receiving more than vindicates our strategy of focusing entirely on our PCI compliant contact centre payment solutions. As with any channel sales route to market, revenue momentum may take time to build, but once established we believe we will have access to a far greater market opportunity than that available from direct sales alone.

"The level of enquiries looks set to accelerate demand for our services faster than anticipated and the Company is evaluating the resourcing levels that may be required to take full advantage of the commercial opportunities in a nascent but fast-growing international market."

yes sending out very mixed messages
