Posted at 23/5/2025 06:57 by trader465 I thought yesterdays update was good and was surprised to see the price fall.Despite a slight dip in statutory Profit Before Tax, the Q1 Trading Update contains several strong positives that suggest bullish momentum and strategic progress. Positives: Revenue growth: +4% in Q1 and +8% YTD through April. EBITDA growth: +8% in Q1 and +13% YTD through April. Improving margins: EBITDA Adjusted margin up to 19.5% in Q1 and 17.7% YTD through April. Balance sheet strength: Net Total Debt to EBITDA Adjusted reduced from 1.81 to 1.50, and cash increased to $7.4m. Strong international expansion: +47% revenue growth in international corporate locations. Strategic Chubb/StreamLabs partnership: Positions Water Intelligence as a “one-stop shop” for Preventive Maintenance in water infrastructure. Growth runway: Opportunities in organic growth, acquisitions, and share buybacks. US listing potential: Shares now purchasable via Interactive Brokers — first step toward US investor access. Negatives (minor): Statutory Profit Before Tax declined slightly by 6% in Q1 and 2% YTD. Franchise-related revenue declined, due to reacquisitions — although this is arguably part of the long-term strategy to consolidate control. |
Posted at 28/2/2025 10:43 by tiger60 How does the company get so much wrong in the way they communicate to investors and the content in their updates and interviews. It seems they are so wrapped up in the detail and the ‘plan’ that they forget fundamentals that the market needs. Not words about the latest way to detect leaks and tying your products from co owned firms but net profits, cash flow, investor rewards, timelines. Pointing to broker reports with £8 targets as some form of pride is just nuts. The in house brokers do that for every company. Seriously if they truly want shareholder growth and market respect grow net profits and give a presentation on financial projections.Tempted to ask for a job, with options, to boost the share price |
Posted at 28/2/2025 09:38 by tiger60 Any company can grow revenue at the expense of profits. It seems the concentration on growth ie revenue without reference to PBT hasn’t gone unnoticed. It is so sad to see that a company operating in an industry sector with a huge market and at a scale to dislodge local firms is unable to generate substantial profits and positively impact the share price.Yes they are still growing and executing their strategy of growth and scale but the share price has been on a downward trend for three years. Part of me loves the possibilities the sector offers but equally frustrated by the company’s failure to turn opportunity into visible share price returns. I think Patrick is eloquent and convincing, Will Knell not so much but although he may look uncomfortable infront of the camera I don’t really care if he is as good at his day job as Patrick believes. His numbers from the franchise back this up but we are now operating in a new environment where initial believe that small firms would enjoy a better macro environment is fading. Markets are turning and inflation persisting. I am conflicted here. I have given them three years and had nothing in return. Their prior year statements also talk about growth and a starry future but that didn’t happen. So again we are back to hoping this year will be different. Starting the year of by selling the buyback as an investor benefit only to take those shares for themselves in the way of options is not a great optic. At least they should allay some concerns with indicating strike price and even then it looks like private investors are last on the list of beneficiaries. They just seem to be unable to get their timing and priorities right yet if they tweaked it they could build something special. How long do you wait when in the last three years valuations elsewhere have been motoring. Maybe it’s me just a bit disillusioned with the company, the market, world politics, dictators, land grabs, destruction of democracy, humanity, basic values…..sod it time for some Netflix |

Posted at 05/1/2025 11:04 by tiger60 Interesting link. Any chance of posting full article?Firstly, I hold here and enthusiastic about the sector as a whole which will only grow and consolidate. However, the last few years has been tough and the share price movement mirrors the ROE reduction over said years. We have had two years of investment and software integration to streamline the offering but yet to see the benefits. The last RNS related to new contracts was the start of February last year. True not every contract is worthy of a news release but does highlight a lack of investor engagement. In addition, the buyback is a farce and should never of been initiated. Either further internal investment or a small dividend is preferable. Buybacks are limited each day based on a % of daily trades. Daily trading volumes are minimal resulting in buybacks limited to a couple of thousand. It will take a year to buy any notable volumes. A lot hangs on the Dallas franchise being brought in house and the new manager. Macro wise this looks a winner all over but we need that net income up and the investments to shine through. Patience needs its reward or others will walk. Gear up the investor engagement and aggressively set targets. The market is there go get it. |

Posted at 04/11/2024 07:56 by waldron Water Intelligence PLC Strategic Reacquisition of Dallas, Texas Franchise04/11/2024 7:00am RNS Regulatory News RNS Number : 7837K Water Intelligence PLC 04 November 2024 logo 3.tif Strategic Reacquisition of Dallas, Texas Franchise Water Intelligence plc (AIM: WATR.L) ("Water Intelligence" or "Group"), a leading multinational provider of precision, minimally-invasive leak detection and remediation solutions for both potable and non-potable water is pleased to announce the strategic reacquisition of its franchise in Dallas, Texas within the Group's core American Leak Detection ("ALD") subsidiary. Key terms of the Acquisition The transaction involves consideration of both cash and stock options. $12 million in cash is spread through 2027 and based on performance of $2.3 million in adjusted profits for 2027. $5 million was paid at Closing based on a trailing twelve months pro forma of $6 million in sales and $1.0 million in adjusted profits and $0.3 million in total assets. $2.5 million is scheduled to be paid in 2025 based on a pro forma with increasing profit before tax. Options for 200,000 ordinary shares are issued in amounts and at exercise prices as follows: 100,000 at $6.25 per share; 35,000 at $7.50 per share; 35,000 at $8.75 per share; and 30,000 at $10.00 per share respectively and vest over 4 years. The purchase price includes all assets required to conduct operations, including trucks and equipment. The transaction is accretive for the Group's shareholders. Strategic rationale for the Acquisition Including Appointment of CEO for ALD Today's transaction is strategic for the Group. First, and most importantly, Will Knell, owner of the Dallas franchise is appointed CEO of ALD, the Group's core subsidiary representing approximately 85% of the Group's revenues. Mr. Knell has significant experience in operations and is well respected among the franchise System having previously been awarded Franchisee of the Year. The Dallas franchise represents the single largest location in terms of sales in the entire franchise System and is fast growing. Second, strategically there are significant operating synergies between the Dallas location and ALD's neighboring corporate-operated location in Fort Worth, Texas. Integration of both operations will create cost savings. Moreover, in terms of future revenue growth and scale, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is expected to rival New York and Los Angeles in size and concentration of disposable income by 2030. Third, the Group plans to move the headquarters of ALD to Dallas during 2025 and to build a training center similar to the one the Group opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut during Q3. The centrality of the Dallas / Fort Worth location in the United States will enable the Group to accelerate its strategic growth plan organically and with its national partners especially insurance companies and technology product companies. 2025 and Capital Allocation Plan The Group has sufficient resources on hand to execute its growth plan; moreover, the Group remains under-levered enabling it to apply more capital to accretive opportunities that may emerge. With today's acquisition, the Group has strengthened its management team and execution capabilities to advance more rapidly both organic growth and additional acquisitions for 2025 pursuant to its previously announced capital allocation plan. Executive Chairman, Dr. Patrick DeSouza commented: "When we provided our Interim Update in September, we indicated that we were confident about the future and that our Next 50 Initiative would put an accelerated growth plan in place. Today's announcement reinforces that message because beyond the strategic nature of the Dallas reacquisition, we are advancing the execution leadership of the Group in a significant way. Congratulations to Will Knell who is an outstanding leader and a perfect fit for the future of the Group. Our entire franchise System, representing over $100 million in gross sales to customers is excited by the appointment of Will and an updated growth plan that we will be unveiling prior to year-end. Will's appointment and the move of ALD's headquarters to Dallas is a great way to kick-off our Next 50 Initiative named after our fiftieth anniversary celebration of the establishment of ALD two weeks ago at the Group's annual convention." Will Knell, CEO of American Leak Detection added: "I truly appreciate the confidence that the Board, management and our franchise System have in me. On previous occasions, including most recently at our fiftieth anniversary celebration of American Leak Detection, I have met with some of our institutional and individual investors and welcome their support and the opportunity that our team has to deliver for our shareholders. Our Dallas franchise operation and the neighboring corporate-operated location in Fort Worth have served as a model testing site for the various technology investments that the Group has made ranging from Salesforce to LeakVue. Leveraging our strong results and our operating experience as "super-users", we expect to help the Group scale with these investments and realize gains in organic growth in 2025 and beyond. It is very exciting to help the Group transform water infrastructure services as a platform or "one stop shop" across the United States and, along with my colleagues in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia." |

Posted at 26/7/2022 10:33 by adrian j boris Should You Be Adding Water Intelligence (LON:WATR) To Your Watchlist Today?Simply Wall St 11 July 2022ยท3-min read In this article: WTLLF 0.00% The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad. In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like Water Intelligence (LON:WATR), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. Check out our latest analysis for Water Intelligence How Fast Is Water Intelligence Growing? If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. Water Intelligence's shareholders have have plenty to be happy about as their annual EPS growth for the last 3 years was 51%. That sort of growth rarely ever lasts long, but it is well worth paying attention to when it happens. One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. EBIT margins for Water Intelligence remained fairly unchanged over the last year, however the company should be pleased to report its revenue growth for the period of 44% to US$55m. That's encouraging news for the company! Are Water Intelligence Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders? It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. Shareholders will be pleased by the fact that insiders own Water Intelligence shares worth a considerable sum. Indeed, they hold US$30m worth of its stock. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. As a percentage, this totals to 27% of the shares on issue for the business, an appreciable amount considering the market cap. Is Water Intelligence Worth Keeping An Eye On? Water Intelligence's earnings per share have been soaring, with growth rates sky high. That sort of growth is nothing short of eye-catching, and the large investment held by insiders should certainly brighten the view of the company. The hope is, of course, that the strong growth marks a fundamental improvement in the business economics. So at the surface level, Water Intelligence is worth putting on your watchlist; after all, shareholders do well when the market underestimates fast growing companies. We should say that we've discovered 3 warning signs for Water Intelligence that you should be aware of before investing here. There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But for those who consider these important metrics, we encourage you to check out companies that do have those features. You can access a free list of them here.
