Posted at 24/4/2025 13:32 by gsbmba99 At the risk of finding out that I did this wrong when the OpenSecrets numbers come out or the company makes its quarterly announcement, I have PPHC Q1 regulated lobbying revenue as +6.2% on the prior year to $18.64m. Forbes Tate led the way with $6.86m, up 10.1% on Q1 of the prior year. Crossroads Strategies was $6.62m, up 4.1% on the prior year. Alpine Group was $4.89m, up 4.3% on the prior year. O'Neill & Associates was $0.27m, down 3.1% on the prior year. |
Posted at 14/4/2025 20:35 by gsbmba99 PPHC was one of four firms mentioned in an article entitled: "Beat the tariffs with London listed firms that already have a home in America" |
Posted at 30/10/2024 11:01 by gsbmba99 OpenSecrets data has been updated for Q3. Forbes Tate had Q3 revenue of $6.78m (+9.5% on Q323) and YTD revenue of $19.64 (+6.5% on 9M23). Crossroads had Q3 revenue of $6.21m (-1.4% on Q323) and YTD revenue of $18.93m (+2.7% on 9M23). Alpine Group had Q3 revenue of $4.5m (-3.8% on Q323) and YTD revenue of $14.03m (+0.7% on 9M23). O'Neill and Associates (which I believe is a state level organisation that does minimal federal lobbying) had Q3 revenue $0.27m (+4.5% on Q323) and YTD revenue of $0.86m (+3.2% on 9M23). Aggregate PPHC regulated revenue for Q3 was $17.76m (+1.9% on Q323) and YTD revenue was $53.46m (+3.5% on 9M23). I note there is a small discrepancy of about $110k between the amount PPHC reported in their RNS Reach announcement and the OpenSecrets numbers. |

Forbes Tate doing better than the others at the moment. |
Posted at 07/8/2024 10:59 by gsbmba99 WPP has agreed to sell its remaining, controlling stake in FGS (a financial PR and public relations firm consisting of Finsbury, Glover and Sard Verbinnen) to KKR. Zeus published a note this morning with their read-across."Zeus note today’s announcement by WPP confirming it has agreed the sale of its majority stake in FGS Global, a leading strategic communications and advisory firm, for an enterprise value of $1.7bn. FGS generated an operating profit of $87m on $465m of net sales in 2023, implying a purchase EV/EBIT multiple of 19.5x, materially below the current FY24E EV/EBIT of 6.0x for PPHC. Were PPHC to trade on a 19.5x multiple, our analysis indicates shares could be worth north of 200% versus the current price of 133.5p. - PPHC generates superior margins: FGS Global generated an operating margin of c. 19% in 2023 versus PPHC’s 25.9%. Zeus forecast PPHC’s operating margin to reach close to 27% by FY26E. - Implied valuation: WPP has agreed the sale of FGS Global for an EV of $1.7bn, implying an EV/EBITDA of 18.9x and EV/EBIT of 19.5x based on 2023 EBITDA (incl. ROU deprecation) of $90m and EBIT of $86m. PPHC currently trades on a one year forward EV/EBITDA of 5.9x and EV/EBIT of 6.0x. This implies material upside to PPHC’s share price and suggests the current valuation is undemanding versus its potential takeout value." |
Posted at 24/6/2024 07:32 by gsbmba99 Canaccord, recently appointed joint broker, has initiated coverage on PPHC with a note available to subscribers on Research Tree. A snippet:"Materially undervalued hidden AIM gem that ticks a lot of boxes US lobbying agency 'buy & build': PPHC is a UK-listed holding company consolidating the highly fragmented lobbying & public affairs industries in the US. Since the 2021 IPO, it has built a strong track record of delivering organic growth and double-digit EPS accretion from four M&A deals, successfully consolidating a market where larger groups have failed in the past. This comes on the back of a well-thought-out M&A playbook that typically involves paying modest single-digit multiples upfront with a mix of cash and shares and significant five-year success-based earn-outs. High margins; cash-generative & strong visibility: Lobbying for enterprises & nonprofits is a regulated and attractive business in the US - PPHC's >1,200 clients usually pay fixed annual retainers, creating a sticky revenue stream of which ~75% is reoccurring. Lobbying spend is strategic rather than discretionary for most clients and typically comes out of CEO office budgets. PPHC's operating margins in the mid-20s are well above those of larger ad agency and comms groups, with free cash flow margins in the high teens % also impressive. Valuation too low; material upside: Given the attractive financial profile, we view the shares as significantly undervalued – 7x CY25E P/E and a ~15% FCF yield look way too low, given much more cyclical ad agencies on >10x P/E and PPHC’s closest listed peer, FTI Consulting, on 21.5x or 3x PPHC’s multiple. Our 250p target price implies 84% upside potential." |
Posted at 17/6/2024 09:20 by red ninja Investor's Champion covered PPHC again in their free podcast at the weekend :-looks like it has brought more investors in today. |
Posted at 15/6/2024 19:34 by gsbmba99 I hadn't intended for the comment to come across that way. I think of some of the various elements of progress made over the last year such as 1) dropping the Reg S trading restrictions which meant I previously could only buy shares in Frankfurt using the mirror quote; 2) adding trading capability through AJ Bell, Interactive Investor and, ultimately, Hargreaves Lansdown; 3) a write-up in the Mail on Sunday; 4) research coverage from a broker more accessible to retail investors or 5) a profile in Investor's Champion. If you had asked me which would result in the biggest share price movement over a few days, I probably would not have guessed 5). |
Posted at 11/6/2024 16:16 by red ninja Covered by Investor's Champion tip website :-Flying under the radar with a big dividend Public Policy Holding (AIM: PPHC), the government relations and public affairs group, which arrived in AIM in December 2021 has made its first acquisition in the UK. Established in 2014, PPHC is a leading bi-partisan, full-service US government affairs business. It operates a portfolio of independent firms offering public affairs, crisis management, lobbying and advocacy services on behalf of corporate, trade association and non-profit client organisations. Clients engage PPHC to enhance and defend their reputations, advance policy goals, manage regulatory risk, or otherwise engage with US federal and state-level policy makers, stakeholders, media, and directly to the public at large. It is acquiring Pagefield Communications Limited, a premier London-based strategic communications and cross-party public affairs advisory firm, for an initial consideration of £16.2m. Until now, PPHC's nine operating companies have been solely based in the US, although its c.1,200 clients - including nearly half of the Fortune 100 – have operations around the world. Alongside organic growth, as outlined at the time of its IPO in December 2021, PPHC has been targeting acquisitions within the key political capitals of London and Brussels, as well as more US states, in order to broaden its geographic reach and policy expertise. Since IPO, PPHC has acquired three businesses in the US, with Pagefield becoming its first international acquisition and the 10th brand to sit under the Group umbrella, which encourages the cross-selling of services between operating companies to augment organic growth. The initial consideration of £16.2m has been funded 93% (£15.1m) in cash and 7% (£1.1m) through the issue of new shares in PPHC to the shareholders of Pagefield. A cross-party consultancy, Pagefield helps clients navigate the UK's complex legislative and regulatory environment and is known for high-level reputation, issues management and strategic communication campaigns. Pagefield's clients include some of the world's premier brands, established listed companies, fast-moving start-ups and challengers, inspiring charities and individuals. For the year ended 31 December 2023, Pagefield recorded net revenues of £6.0m, growing at an average rate of 10% for the past three years and profit before tax of £2.3m, an attractive 38% margin. The initial consideration assumes a c9.5x post-tax acquisition multiple, which looks quite reasonable. In addition to the initial consideration, a further earnout payment could be made after the end of 2025, capped at £6.3m. Following the acquisition, the effective debt position of the Group will be approximately $35m, which management considers to be a conservative level relative to its reported operating cash flow of $21.6m. PPHC share price has climbed over recent months to 126 pence, but still remains down on the IPO price of 135 pence. The house broker has updated estimates for the impact of the acquisition. Forecasts for the year ending December 2024 are for revenue of $154.8m, underlying pre-tax profit of $35.3m and underlying earnings per share of 22 cents/17 pence. At the current 126 pence share price that makes for modest 7.5x earnings multiple, however, significant share-based payments are excluded in calculating the underlying numbers. Conversely the Group does not classify acquisition costs (such as advisor fees) as a non-underlying item, which impacts profits. As usual, the cash flow provides far better financial picture. Forecast free cash flow of approx. $22m/£17m for the year ending December 2024, is a free cash flow yield of 9.6% based on the enterprise value of £177m (Market cap £150m + current net debt £27m) December year end net debt (excluding leases) is estimated to be $21.4m. The forecast dividend of 14.6 cents/11.4 pence is a dividend yield of 9%. |
Posted at 30/5/2024 12:46 by gsbmba99 Zeus has been appointed as a joint corporate broker and this morning they initiated coverage in a note available to subscribers of Research Tree. Hopefully Zeus will be able to attract a bit of additional interest. A brief snippet:"Public Policy Holding Group (PPHC) controls nine complementary lobbying and public relations advisory businesses in the US, with a compelling growth strategy including M&A into the UK and/or the EU. In our view, PPHC has high quality revenues, good organic growth (supported by structural market trends), an active M&A pipeline in a fragmented market, and attractive EBITDA margins, free cash generation and dividend distributions (60%+ payout ratio). Our DCF-based valuation estimate is 230p per share (83% upside), with future M&A providing further potential value. Due to its market leadership position in US lobbying, its growth strategy, and a peer-group-leading dividend yield of 9.2%, we believe the risks are skewed to the upside." |
