I originally bought in on the basis that investments made gave the spare capacity to improve the bottom line while the share price had been hit due to the lack of profitability. Unfortunately this has never really happened due to clicks becoming more important than physical.

I am still hopeful but not at all sure when the uptick will come.

ok that`s why I posted for information. So you think this year will just be the same as last or will the investments actually start showing benifit to the bottom line?

Your underlying profit calculation is overoptimistic. The extra capital investment did not affect profits, only cashflow.

IC VIEW: 12th June 2013

Printing.com is changing its name to Grafenia to reflect the graphic nature of its business. If SaaS is as good as management claims, the shares offer value on a forward PE ratio of 11 and are well underpinned by a prospective dividend yield of 8.5 per cent. Income buy.

Last IC view: Buy, 32p, 13 November 2012

After reading again and finding some of the cost`s spent investing in the company for the future growth.

Adding back some costs

Profit for the year ending March 2013 890k

add back: exceptional cost of Director Severance payment 180k

add back: Staff costs up by 360k to develop and introduce new services, save 20% (quite possible) 72k

add back: Capital investment up 180K on year before ( back to more normal levels) 180k

add W3P contribution, 11 companies @ lets say £110/ month £14,520 pityfully small

add back: consistant exchange rate (45k loss this year) 45K




This gives a profit of 1,381 thousand and earning per share of 2.9 pence, dividend covered.

Can Sleep better now

Countries the Group operates in :- America, Belgium, England, France, Holland, Ireland, New Zealand, Norhtern Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and Wales. The company being "engaged in meaningful discussions with a number of international partners" lets hope that all progresses well and speedily.
All this without there being an economic pick up in the UK and Euroze.

Amazing what a couple of pints and sunshine do for your positive attitude.

Still do not understand the name change.

P.S. Cash flow still pouring from the clouds. 2.72 million

I read it as dividend to be covered by earnings, so cover will be 1.
Dividend will be up to eps, which last year was 1.69p, still a sizeable reduction from now.
New name does not grab me.
Will be nice to see some real income from the clouds !
Share price will probably go nowhere or slightly dowm.

Is not a lot of the disappeared profit down to extra costs, wages, lack of license money. Still would like to see expanding sales rather than sideways movement (branding ???). Can u make money from clouds? or just pouring money away. International partners, have heard it before but never happened. Better being small and making money than reaching for the stars !
Dissappointed, sums up my feeling.

Jam tomorrow.... 10 years plus a long time to wait

Name change-- not going to change a thing.

Dividend held BUT to be realigned to earnings in future. The cloud operations still very much (imo etc) in the cloud. Name change coming - Often a sign of management doubt - Not sure here.

Good thing still profitable and no deb (anyway minimal) PLUS cash.

Will need to be reevaluated as a dividend stock rather than (imo) a growth stock. Manageement advise that the dividend will need to aligned more with earnings - So what cover should we expect ? Say 2x - Then dividend could be in the region of 0.8p to 1.2p. (imo)

So what should be p/e be going forward ??

topvest post 1801 was so so so right. Today's trading update confirms it -

"Printing.com Plc (AIM: PDC) (the "Company") announces that post the market update, released 20 February 2013, trading has continued to be difficult. Encouragingly however, sales volumes through the Company's new online and template initiatives have shown significant growth, albeit with an increase in marketing expenditure."

In other words - my interpretation - Significantly reduced margins - so less profit for shareholders.

(imo etc)

comment on the budget.

chief executive of Printing.com Tony Rafferty also welcome the cut in employer NICs, which he called a "good move" by the chancellor.

"For UK plc to succeed, which is exactly what our sector needs, start ups need to move on and take the 'second' step. That means employing some one," said Rafferty.

"Helping businesses to move on from being a 'sole trader' to an employer is something that should be incentivised."

Rafferty also welcomed the further 1% cut in Corporation Tax, which means the coalition will have cut the 28% rate of tax inherited from Labour by more than a quarter come April 2014.

"Three years ago the progressive cuts to Corporation Tax persuaded Printing.com to develop its TemplateCloud and W3P software platform in the UK," he said. "Now we're generating revenue from three continents and adding to UK hi-tech job creation. Today's rate cut adds to the attractiveness of basing technology or knowledge-based businesses in UK."

This is a good company, but I'm afraid they are fighting a losing battle. The printing sector is contracting significantly as a result of technological change. Worse than that companies like Printing.com do not have pricing power, which means (unlike tobacco and Newspaper groups) things are going to get very bad at some point. I've kept this on my watch list since having sold out a couple of years ago, but I'm now taking it off.

They have already stated that the final dividend will be unchanged at 1.5p.

I don`t think this announcement has supported the price and it should not have been made. I still believe the interim dividend of 1.05p should have been reduced to 0.75p last year.

Having said that, I can`t remember them ever buying back shares, so I don`t think it will happen.

if the board was so confident would you not think they might buy at these cheap prices ?

Printing.com (PDC)
On 20th Printing.com released a negative trading update. Cash remains
good and the investments made in new initiatives are set to benefit
shortly. This is an awkward period between the natural exposure PDC
has to macro-economic weakness (UK, Holland and other northern
Europe) and the new initiatives. These latter have cost money in
development (all done now) and in marketing (still ongoing) so this
really should be the low point but investors will wait to see the tide
turn.
While investors wait, the cash flow underpinning the dividend and
high yield is very important. "At this juncture, also taking into account
the Group's Balance Sheet, the absence of debt together with the
underlying cash generation, the Board intends to recommend the
payment of a final dividend at the same level as the previous year."
Note in the table the free cash flow yield.
"Notwithstanding the above, the Directors maintain their belief that
the plethora of new initiatives including Templatecloud.com and W3P
provide sound prospects for the Company moving forward. Indeed
post the last update, the first W3P Licenses have been granted in the
UK. These Licenses generate monthly 'system fees' along with
incremental print revenues."

Yes, they're too good a company to fold. Obviously as the share price sinks it does put pressure on any attempts to raise funds should that become necessary; not that I'm aware of any reason.

It does generate cash and with all their initiatives I don't think they will go broke. With the share price at these levels however I think there could be a possibility of it being privately bought out, which might not result in the best deal for shareholders.

I agree PDC is a decent company, struggling like most others in these tough times. I'm a little concerned as to what will happen when we test the next support.
