I like the story here and have taken a position. The company seems to have a lot going for it. Sounds like they could be ripe for a takeover at some point, too.

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Profits flow at Waterlogic as water purifiers blast bugsBy Joanne Hart
PUBLISHED: 22:09, 5 May 2012 | UPDATED: 09:55, 6 May 2012

Waterlogic has pioneered a way to make tap water free from germs. Its unique process works all over the world, even in countries where tap water is normally dangerous to drink.

The company listed on the Alternative Investment Market last July and brokers believe profits will soar over the next three years, making the shares worth a look.

Traditional water coolers – free-standing machines with large bottles of water upended on top of them – are a feature of offices, hospitals, shopping malls and leisure centres.

Fresh idea: Waterlogic is in talks with fridge makers over using its technology
Recently, however, dispensers that filter water directly from the mains have been developed. These point-of-use machines have numerous advantages over bottled water coolers so the market is growing fast and Waterlogic is a recognised leader in the field.
Customers include Google, the Bank of England and Network Rail. Even Chancellor George Osborne has one at 11 Downing Street. In Europe and America there are about two million point-of-use dispensers, about a quarter of which have been sold by Waterlogic.

The company is best known in the US, Scandinavia, Germany and France but it sells dispensers worldwide. Companies – and politicians – are attracted to point-of-use dispensers for various reasons.

First, large firms can save thousands of pounds a year by switching to this type of unit because there is no need to keep buying replacement bottles. Second, they are more environmentally sound because there is no need to transport the bottles.

They even reduce security risks because unknown workers are not regularly lugging bottles in and out of offices. Waterlogic prides itself on making top-of-the-range dispensers that are attractive and reliable.

Now it has created a way of making water germ-free, using ultraviolet light to kill 99.9999 per cent of micro-organisms. The process has been approved by the international trade body, the Water Quality Association, and it is so effective it is even said to make water from the Ganges drinkable.
Known as Firewall, the UV light treats the water at the point at which it is dispensed, and silver technology helps to keep the spout germ-free. Firewall products are already being used in offices. Now Waterlogic is hoping to roll out the technology to homes.

The company has designed a selection of domestic products, ranging from toaster-size machines that sit on kitchen worktops to an extra tap that fits over the kitchen sink, dispensing cold water, piping hot water and sparkling water.

The group has already signed a contract with one leading company to produce these gadgets on a large scale and it is in talks with several others, including a number of fridge makers. Many top fridges have water dispensers that produce filtered water.

But if filters are not changed regularly, bacteria build up within them, so they dispense germs. Similarly, water that sits in the fridge in jugs after filtration becomes more susceptible to microbes than tap water because the chlorine has been removed.

Waterlogic's Firewall system removes all germs. The technology is expected to be especially popular in the US, where many drinking water pipes are both extremely old and often laid next to sewers.

If corrosion occurs, there can be leakage from one pipe to another and whole areas of the country are sometimes told they need to boil water before drinking it while pipes are repaired.

In the first half of last year, this happened more than 500 times, often lasting for at least a week and sometimes much longer. If homeowners had Firewall technology installed, they could continue to drink the water in the knowledge that it would be safe to consume.

Clearly there is huge potential in emerging markets too and Waterlogic chief executive Jeremy Ben David is talking to potential partners around the world.
The group reports in dollars because America is its biggest market and last year it made profits of $6.8million (£4.2million). This year, they are forecast to double to $13.7million and by 2014, $30.3million is expected.

Midas verdict: Waterlogic is at an interesting stage. Its technology has been approved by international bodies and it is in talks with leading companies worldwide. Investors do not yet know the precise nature of the agreements Waterlogic will reach, but Ben David is a shrewd operator and he owns 25 per cent of the shares, so he is deeply committed to the firm's success. Waterlogic has a unique product and the outlook is bright. The shares are trading at 1771⁄2p and should rise. Buy

thanks, rivaldo

i agree with your figures. WTL does look expensive.
from the website, they appear to be mostly in developed countries, with a start up in manufacturing planned for china.in developed countries they aim to replace the bottled supply.

i don't think the product/concept will prevent others competing easily. mains connected water dispensers are in many "mom and pop" stores and at road junctions in thailand. and are labelled "UV" and "reverse osmosis". the water quality provided is very good, machines are coin operated, cost about 400 pounds each.

i will follow but no plans to invest in WTL at this time

i am interested in following water stocks, and hold AFS and HALO

Hi cnx, I saw your post on the PIM thread.

The interims were reasonably good, especially given the comments I noted in the thread header post. However....

Take the £140m m/cap and strip out say £30m net cash post-IPO gives you £110m EV.

WTL made $5.6m EBITDA in H1, so double that up and you get $11.2m, or around £7m EBITDA for the year.

On £110m that's a ratio of 15.7 - pretty expensive in this market, and certainly a premium rating.

Net income for H1 was just £1.5m....

WTL looks a quality business, but I just can't bring myself to invest at these ratings! Certainly until it's proved itself properly anyway. Or until it makes a large and heavily earnings-enhancing acquisition from its cash pile.

This is a thread to enable me to keep an eye on this new IPO.

It looks too expensive for me to invest in, but is still an interesting company.

WTL floated on AIM on Monday 11th July at 145p. At 170p it now has a m/cap of £130m or so, but it only made £7.1m EBITDA last year to 31/12/10, and a PAT of just £2.17m.

It has high depreciation and amortisation charges, but also high capital expenditure of course on new water coolers.

Crucially, there is this interesting paragraph in the full prospectus which somehow got missed out of the AIM listing RNS:

"11. Current Trading and Prospects

Relative to the last financial year, revenues and gross profit have grown since the year end and the Group's inventory has increased to reflect increased sales expectations for the current financial year. Since year end, earnings have been lower than the prior year, principally due to an increase in costs relating primarily to investment in staffing. However, taking into account this result, and the prospects for the Group for the second half of the current financial year, the business is currently trading broadly in line with the Directors' expectations for the financial year ending 31 December 2011."

Here's the AIM admission RNS:



And an earlier, more complete RNS:



Web site:



"To be a leading international manufacturer and distributor of superior quality point of use water dispensers, and to lead our chosen markets by providing drinking water expertise, innovation, excellent service and customer support."

I put an order in to my Broker this morning to buy me 50K.

I spoke to him at 3.30 and he had not been able to get any, other than in 2,500 lots which we considered not worth the effort.

Another 33k deal gone through at 3p so why the big jump? I have no idea.

I see that today there has been a sale at 2p.

At that price it hardly seems worth the effort.

If anyone else is tempted to sell at that level let me know. I will buy them at a higher price.

I am quite prepared to sit on them.
