INVESTMENT UPDATE - FRESHO
Primorus Investments ("Primorus" or "The Company") (PRIM.L) is pleased to provide the following update on Fresho Pty Ltd, a company in which it invested GBP175,000 in September 2016, in line with its investment mandate.
Highlight:
- Fresho has informed the Company that annualised platform volume growth has risen circa fivefold to nearly A$100m in little over 6 months is a hugely impressive performance that has far exceeded our expectations
FRESHO PTY LTD
Following a meeting with management in Melbourne, Australia, the Board is pleased to report significant progress has been made by Fresho which has the potential to positively affect the value of our investment in it.
As set out in the announcement of 22 September 2016, Fresho provides a cloud-based software solution to the food service industry in Australia by standardising and streamlining what has historically been an ad hoc product bulk ordering process. The Fresho platform allows large wholesalers and national suppliers to interface with restaurants, hospitals, hotels, independent supermarkets, schools, cafes, pubs and clubs in an efficient and data-analysable manner.
Fresho continues to attract a large number of both suppliers and end users and this is being reflected in the order volumes through the platform as measured by annualised sales growth per month.
Primorus invested GBP175,000 at A$0.27 in September 2016 as part of an over-subscribed $3.1m issue. We are pleased to note that, since then, Fresho has informed the Company that the smoothed (allowing for Christmas) annualised volumes through the platform have accelerated circa fivefold to nearly A$100m from the time of investment.
Significantly, work regarding automating the on-boarding process for all suppliers and customers continues at pace, as does expanding the platform offering to new and existing customers. We expect the automation process to enhance potential gross margins around the core product and drive profitability hand-in-hand with platform volume over time.
We expect Fresho to launch a further round of funding in early 2018 to significantly expand its sales and software development activities both in Australia and potentially overseas and this may be a good time to reassess the value of our investment. Given the very impressive performance of the Fresho business since the date of our investment, we are confident a significant pricing uplift from our investment level is entirely possible.
We look forward to updating shareholders on future developments regarding both operational performance and funding milestones achieved by Fresho.
Alastair Clayton, Executive Director commented - "Having met with management some 7 months after having participated in a heavily backed funding round, with the main investor being one of Australia's largest venture capital funds, we came away very impressed with the progress made as measured by user numbers and, most importantly, orders as measured by annualised monthly order volumes.
Management remains focused and well supported financially and by an exceptional advisory Board of leading banking and food industry leaders."
