FY26 is correct Joe, though I was stating FY25.

There's minimal evidence that the market ever looks at cash-adjusted PEs no matter how much people like to quote them. I've seen various companies with cash piles and no matter how much they grow them the price doesnt budge.

The cash does provide a floor to the price to some extent though and opportunities for growth. It'll be interesting to see how SNX use theirs as they dont need any more cash on BS. I'd favour M&A (or buybacks) over dividends but either way the cash gives the company optionality

Just looking back John, yes there could be something decent in the AGM rns due tomorrow, this is last years below, shows they do sometimes inc a mini statement as to how things are shaping up, todays action suggest it's been lodged today :

Last years :



Synectics, a leader in advanced security and surveillance systems, is holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") today. At the meeting, Steve Coggins, Interim Chair, will make the following statement:

"I am delighted to report that Synectics continues to build on the positive performance delivered last year and has seen a strong start to the current financial year in both its Systems and Security divisions.

The Company has started the year well, underpinned by a strong order book, and is trading in line with market expectations for the year ending 30 November 2024 ("FY 2024"). As in prior years, the Board anticipates that results for FY 2024 will be second half weighted.

The Company has continued to strengthen its position in the oil and gas sector and is seeing sustained demand from existing and new clients for refits and refurbishments alongside new projects.

After a challenging period for the gaming sector, the Company is now seeing encouraging signs from the North American market and has recently secured three contracts for customers in Ontario, Omaha and Maryland, with a combined value of $2.0 million to be delivered during FY 2024. Two of these are new sites for existing customers and the third is for a new customer. This will see the implementation of the Company's proprietary software platform, Synergy, across multiple smaller sites. These contracts demonstrate the ongoing opportunities for Synectics in both large and medium sized casinos in North America, alongside a strong market and pipeline in Asia.

The Company's expertise and reputation in critical infrastructure, public space and transport continue to underpin its new business efforts, which are further reflected in the recently announced contracts with National Grid and another major UK utility provider, demonstrating continued demand for its market leading solutions.

As announced on 9 April 2024, I will step down as interim Chair and from the Board following the conclusion of this meeting, ending a near 20-year association with Synectics. It has been a privilege to be involved with the Company, and I leave with pride. In my opinion, the Company is in great shape, and has seen good progress in revenue, profits and share price. The market opportunity is excellent and Synectics is extremely well placed to grasp it. I wish my successor, Bob Holt, every success, in what I believe will be a significant period of growth for the Company."

Finally got around to listening to the investor presentation. THey sound confident and optimistic.

Uses of the cash pile sounded like opex rather than capital investment (sales force, partners etc) which are fine given it should support revenues but could be a lag. They said they were fine with the £65m revenues / 24.9p market forecasts though, so the current share price isnt demanding.

Happy to continue to hold

Another write-up from Simon Thompson:

A lot is going right for this security specialist

Analysts are upgrading guidance after it once again beat expectations

- Full-year revenue rises 13 per cent to £55.8mn
- Pre-tax profit up 56 per cent to £4.7mn
- Earnings upgrades for new financial year
- Net cash more than doubles to £9.6mn (54p)

Synectics (SNX:325p), a leader in advanced security and surveillance systems for customers operating in technically and logistically demanding environments, has reported full-year pre-tax profits almost 10 per cent ahead of recently upgraded expectations. Moreover, with the benefit of a strong order book (up a third to £38.5mn year-on-year), analysts have pushed through earnings upgrades for the new financial year.

In the past 12 months, the Sheffield-based group has delivered a raft of earnings upgrades underpinned by strengthening demand in both oil & gas and casinos. The largest contract win was a $13.2mn (£10.3mn) project for the upgrade and expansion of a gaming resort in South East Asia. Synectics has been expanding its footprint in the region (Philippines and Cambodia) as well as its presence in North America with a series of contract wins across both large and medium-sized casinos. Revenue in gaming increased a fifth last year, predominantly driven by the sector’s recovery in North America, to account for more than 20 per cent of group revenue.

Although the oil & gas market is closely linked to global economic conditions and geopolitical events, which in turn have driven fluctuating demand, oil and gas infrastructure remains critical to national economies with an increasing need for enhanced security measures. Threats are increasing to both digital and physical infrastructure due to risks of sabotage, theft and terrorism.

Synectics has deployed more than 10,000 specialist COEX camera stations to safeguard oil and gas refineries, pipelines, offshore vessels, and platforms for industry giants including Saudi Aramco and Shell. The global oil and gas market accounts for around a quarter of group revenue and management anticipates energy companies increasing investment in security and surveillance solutions to protect their critical assets.

Tapping new market opportunities

The group is also exploring market opportunities in two new sectors: data centres and the offshore renewable energy sector. The UK government has recently designated data centres as 'critical national infrastructure', thus increasing compliance requirements concerning security measures and operational standards. The offshore renewable energy sector shares similar security challenges to offshore oil and gas, so lends itself to an alternative range of the group’s COEX surveillance cameras, which have been proven to work in the most challenging environments.

In addition, Synectics is establishing a presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and recently received a trade license in this region. The UAE is projected to see significant investment across mega-resorts, infrastructure development and gated communities. As the country diversifies its economy and enhances its position as a global tourism and investment hub, substantial funds are being directed toward hospitality and infrastructure, so providing an attractive market to target.

For the year ahead, house broker Shore Capital has raised its revenue and pre-tax profit estimates to £65mn (from £61.7mn) and £5.3mn (from £5mn), respectively. On this basis, expect 15 per cent higher adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 24.9p to support another sharp hike in the dividend per share to 6.5p.

So, even though Synectics’ share price has risen 73 per cent since I suggested buying the shares, at 188p (Alpha Research: ‘Spying a small-cap profit opportunity’, 12 July 2024), they still only trade on a cash-adjusted forward price/earnings (PE) ratio of 10.9 and offer a prospective dividend yield of 2 per cent. Offering a 23 per cent upside to my upgraded fair valuation of 400p (from 320p), they rate it a buy.

Synectics – what a cracking set of results from this security solutions provider :

Now we know what it is doing!

This morning Synectics (LON:SNX), a solutions provider in the growing global security market, announced its Final Results for the year to end-November 2024.

On the back of a 13.6% revenue increase to £55.8m (£49.1m), the group saw its underlying operating profit expand almost 57% to £4.8m (£3.1m), with earnings per share increasing to 21.6p (14.2p) and with a 50% improvement in its dividends to 4.5p (3.0p).

By the end of its last trading year the group’s order book was standing at £38.5m (£29.2m).

The group also ended that year with no bank debt and with £9.6m (£4.6m) cash in the bank.

These strong results showed record gross margins and adjusted profit before tax being materially ahead of recently upgraded market expectations, supported by a solid year of growth in all sectors, particularly within its Gaming division.

The impressive order book has been boosted by consistent contract wins across all of the Group’s sectors, which we have already seen has continued into this current trading year, with recent contract wins in South-East Asia and the US.

Management Comment

CEO and CFO Amanda Larnder stated that:

“I am immensely proud of our strong performance in FY24 and the positive momentum we have built heading into FY25, which is backed by a robust order book.

During FY25, we are investing in strategic initiatives across our products, operations, and in strengthening customer and partner relationships to ensure sustainable growth in future years.

We are confident that our commitment to delivering operational excellence combined with our innovative offerings position us to be a trusted leader in our chosen markets, enabling us to seize new and exciting business opportunities.”;

It also has operations in Berlin, Macau, Singapore and in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

The company’s expertise is in providing solutions for specific markets where security and surveillance are critical to operations.

Such markets include gaming, transport, public space, oil and gas, and critical infrastructure.̷9;

Its experience and technical excellence, combined with long-standing customer relationships, provides fundamental differentiation from mainstream suppliers and makes the company a stand-out in its field.

The Ocular side delivers integrated solutions, service, and support directly to end-users in the UK and Ireland – principally within public space, transport, and national infrastructure – utilising a combination of the Group’s proprietary technology and third-party products

Analyst View

At Shore Capital Markets, its analyst Rob Sanders has estimates out for the group’s year to end-November 2025 showing £65.0m (£55.8m) revenues, lifting its adjusted pre-tax profits to £5.3m (£4.7m), with earnings of 24.9p (21.6p) and paying a dividend of 6.5p (4.5p) per share.

For the 2026 year he looks for £70.5m sales, £6.0m profits, 28.4p earnings and a dividend per share of 8.0p.

The year to end-November 2027, he estimates, could show £75.1m revenues, £6.8m profits, with earnings leaping to 32.1p per share, easily covering a dividend of 8.0p.

In today’s note on the group, which states a 486p DCF valuation per share, Sanders states that:

“Even though the share price has performed well over the last 12 months or so, we believe that the valuation metrics in the outer years, suggest there is scope for further significant share price upside.”

In My View

This is a cracking business – with a global market for its proven systems, with a growing order book and increasing sales and profits – that is just what stock markets are about in backing such companies.

And that is why I continue to rate highly the potential for this group’s shares, now 360p, to rise to above 400p and trade the 420p/450p range.

On Tuesday 4th March, possibly one of the busiest days for SmallCaps reporting, one of my recent favourites, Synectics (LON:SNX) will be announcing its 2024 Final Results – and I am looking forward to hearing what the group has to say about its business going forward.

The Business

The Sheffield-based group is a leader in advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets around the world. 

It also has operations in Berlin, Macau, Singapore and in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

Its experience and technical excellence, combined with long-standing customer relationships, provides fundamental differentiation from mainstream suppliers and makes the company a stand-out in its field.  

Recent Contract Win

On Monday 27th January this year, the group followed up the award of several contracts late last year, with the announcement that it had been awarded a further contract, worth some $2.2m, for the professional services to deploy a Synergy upgrade and expansion at a major gaming resort in South-East Asia, one of the most successful and highest profile gaming resorts in the world.

Synectics will provide a comprehensive suite of professional services, including the project management and on-site commissioning required to upgrade the existing software and hardware infrastructure to enhance the customer’s security capabilities to meet its evolving operational needs.

This is not for a new client, in fact it has been working with this customer since 2014, and the contract is further to the $13.2m contracts awarded, in aggregate, in FY 2024 (June and September).

It is a complex project, with the customer’s system remaining in operation 24/7 throughout the upgrade, which is expected to be delivered predominantly in the current financial year.

Management Comment

CEO and CFO Amanda Larnder stated that:

“We are delighted to provide our professional services to such a prestigious and long-term customer in a market and territory in which we have significant experience.

This contract demonstrates the Customer’s confidence in Synectics’ end-to-end expertise required to deliver such an organisationally critical project and the commitment to our ongoing partnership.”

Analyst View

At Shore Capital Markets, its analyst Rob Sanders has estimates out for the group’s year to end-November 2024 showing £57.0m (£49.1m) revenues, lifting its adjusted pre-tax profits to £6.1m (£4.8m), with earnings of 20.3p (14.2p) and paying a dividend of 4.5p (3.0p) per share.

For the current year he looks for £61.7m sales, £5.0m profits, 23.9p earnings and a dividend per share of 6.5p.

The year to end November 2026, he estimates, could show £67.0m revenues, £6.1m profits, with earnings leaping to 29.0p per share, easily covering a dividend of 8.0p.

In a recent note on the group, Sanders states that:

“As the order book for FY25F and beyond continues to build, we believe that there remains the potential for a further significant uplift in group profits at some stage.

Indeed, the technology infrastructure in place provided by the Synergy command & control software platform gives the group the potential to deliver £10m of adj. EBIT at some point in the future, in our view.

Even though the share price has performed well over the last 12 months or so, we believe that the valuation metrics in the outer years, suggest there is scope for further significant share price upside.”

In My View

This is a cracking little business, with masses of potential business, especially outside of the UK.

Its global stretch is impressive, so too are its systems offering, which is why it is continuing to win more business – and once in situation it just rolls on as an income generator.

The shares have not moved too much since my first feature on the group way back at the start of this year, on Thursday 2nd January, then at 352p, since when they have been up to 370p and later suffered profit-taking in the technology rout taking them down to 311p, ahead of the recent steady climb back up to 366p at one point yesterday.

They are now 358p and look so appealing, I still anticipate a 50% rise in due course.

Perhaps the Finals being reported on 4th March will help the cause.

I couldnt find anything about them when I looked earlier, probably because they're based in Panama.

It could just be that with the share price run-up their SNX has become too alrge for their fund or risk appetite.

Or perhaps they've been selling shares in other companies, private or public.

Or maybe they need more liquidity and as a listed shareholding, SNX is a place to look.

Very difficult to even guess that their rationale might be for selling, and therefore whether the selling could continue, without any background on them

Re-tipped by Simon Thompson today...

This technology stock keeps on delivering

A security and surveillance systems company has won yet more contracts to underpin another step change in profits that is simply not priced in

- £2.2mn additional contract wins with National Grid
- EPS set to double over three-year forecast period
- Cash-adjusted ratio set to fall to 9.5 within 12 months

Sheffield-based Synectics (SNX:265p), a leader in advanced security and surveillance systems to customers operating in technically and logistically demanding environments, has won further contracts with National Grid to protect its critical infrastructure across 12 sites.

In January 2024, the energy group awarded Synectics £4mn of additional contracts to deliver security improvement work across 13 new sites. The latest contract win means that Synectics’ technology is now deployed across 32 sites throughout National Grid’s estate. The company has a 30 November financial year-end, so the contract awards help underpin house broker Shore Capital’s expectations for the 2024-25 financial year, when analysts expect annual revenue to increase by 8 per cent to £60mn.

Furthermore, as I noted when I rated the shares a buy, at 233p, at the interim results (‘Another upgrade for this cash-generative tech stock’, 16 September 2024), order intake is underpinned by a raft of contracts for the installation of security and surveillance systems at casino resorts in Asia and further contract wins with oil and gas giant Saudi Aramco. Synectics has deployed more than 10,000 specialist COEX camera stations to safeguard oil and gas refineries, pipelines, offshore vessels, and platforms for industry giants including Saudi Aramco and Shell. The gaming and global oil and gas market account for a fifth and a quarter of annual revenue, respectively.

Accelerated earnings growth

It’s worth noting, too, that a leaner cost base following a restructuring programme, the natural operational leverage of the business and a tailwind from the recovering oil and gas market mean that the operating margin will expand in a positive revenue cycle. In fact, analysts expect pre-tax profit and earning per share (EPS) to increase by 28 per cent to £5mn and 23.9p, respectively, in the new financial year, or more than three times the growth rate of revenue. On this basis, the shares are trading on a modest forward price/earnings (PE) ratio of 11.

In addition, the business is highly cash generative, so much so that Shore Capital forecasts a doubling of annual free cash flow (FCF) to £4.8mn (27p), which underpins a bumper FCF yield of 10.3 per cent. It means that even if the board hike the dividend per share by 44 per cent to 6.5p at a cost of £1.2mn, as analysts predict, net cash will continue to build. Indeed, the house broker pencils in a near-50 per cent increase to £7mn (39p) in closing net cash in the 12 months to 30 November 2025, rising to £9.3mn (52p) a year later. On this basis, the cash-adjusted PE ratio could drop to 9.5 by this time next year, falling to 7.3 in November 2026.

That’s a modest rating for a company targeting end markets with high barriers to entry and in sectors that are often challenging to penetrate. For instance, Synectics' proprietary security and surveillance software manages and records more than 250,000 channels across 270 locations worldwide, including high-security environments such as town and city centres, stadiums, tourist attractions and critical infrastructure sites.

Synectics’ share price hit a seven-year high of 299p earlier this month after I suggested buying the shares in the summer, at 188p (Alpha Research: ‘Spying a small-cap profit opportunity’, 12 July 2024). I now feel that my upgraded fair valuation of 320p (up from 280p) is achievable to capture the anticipated doubling of EPS to 29p over the 2023-26 forecast period. Buy.
