Revenue grew by 10% to $63.5 million, fueled by a 13% increase in U.S. corporate sales and a 26% rise in international corporate sales. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 11% to $11.9 million, maintaining a solid 19% margin, while statutory PBT rose 7% to $6.1 million. The company’s financial position remains strong, with $12.7 million in cash and a low net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.84.

The company is advancing its four-pronged capital allocation plan, focusing on organic growth, proprietary technology, strategic acquisitions, and share buybacks. Key achievements include the opening of a new training center in Connecticut to scale technician capacity and the planned 2025 U.S. rollout of Pulse, a patented sewer diagnostic device that has already boosted the U.K. municipal business.

Strategic acquisitions in 2024 included a fast-growing Irish plumbing company and the ALD Dallas franchise, bolstering American Leak Detection’s (ALD) market presence. The Dallas-Fort Worth hub is set to become ALD’s national headquarters, streamlining operations and enhancing scalability. Additionally, share buybacks commenced following shareholder authorization, aligning with the company's commitment to delivering shareholder value.

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."

Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not to count the b shares in a calculation of market cap?

On the one hand they are voting shares, but, on the other they have no economic rights. If the reason we own shares is to share in the profits of the company and the b shares do not then should they be discounted?

Are they not essentially treasury shares with a vote?

It seems that BUYBACKS give at best a temporary floor or support

profits with future cash flows

happy to see a share price rise however

Great results - eps 14% ahead of forecast. Forecasts for 2024 likely to be raised to around 40c putting this on a forward p/e of 13 which is bottom of its trading range over the last five years. Much too cheap given the clear strategy, the alignment between management and shareholders and now net cash. I would think a forward p/e of 18 could be justified implying a price of around 550.

Current Resistence seems be around 4.17gbp so might be a risk of topping out thereabouts
