Posted at 08/12/2023 08:22 by lord orphan WHI note out todayStrong order book conversions lift FY24E; significantly increased visibilityThis morning's update from WPHO reflects a year in which the company grew sales by 163% YoY and engineered a 1.6m EBITDA turnaround into profitability. Supply chain issues have caused a shift of a portion of our anticipated revenues into FY24E; however we now have significantly increased visibility for the coming year, with c.34% of our raised FY24E sales forecast covered by forward orders disclosed today, expected to grow to 47% in the near future. WPHO is a leading innovator in the wind turbine optimisation market whose products are able measurably to enhance wind generating efficiency. The coming year is also expected to benefit from further bid pipeline conversions in respect of North America, Australia and Japan, where prospects for WPHO's products are bright. WPHO's consultancy activities, announced in September, are a genuine differentiator, and are well aligned to the market's requirement for highly accurate information, which WPHO's systems are able to provide. Given strong momentum, while the mix of our forecasts between FY23E and FY24E changes to a degree, FY24E is also upgraded on an absolute basis, all in all prompting our fair value assessment to increase in turn, to 58p (was: 47p). |

Posted at 19/6/2023 11:38 by lord orphan Last week's FY results announcement from WPHO highlights a positive outlook for FY23E based on an order book which strengthened significantly during H2-22A, and which has continued its momentum since then, now offering as much as 78% CY revenue cover. The company is a pioneer in the field of wind turbine optimisation and a home of innovative IP. Our visit to its HQ in Taastrup, Copenhagen, highlighted the quality of its LiDAR product, which has been verified by major OEM's and also by Independent Power Providers (IPP's). We view the company as a market leader in a sizeable potential market which includes a significant retrofit opportunity, and we note progress during the second half of '22E highlighted in WPHO's recent results statement. Beyond this, we assess the company's competitive position as being positive while there are competing LiDAR products, we believe that WPHO is the established market leader on the basis of price, ease of use and compatibility, including its highly distinctive / unique "plug and play" turbine integration functionality. Taking all of this together, we see a positive trajectory for FY23E and initiate with a current fair value assessment of 39p. |
Posted at 13/1/2021 12:45 by bdbd11 Hi Lord Orphan. Yes I think you're right, I've got a target of 39 to sell a few. No surprise to see the small pull back today, as we know nothing goes up in a straight line, and i'd see anything in the high teens again as a top up opportunity. On a broader note, I keep getting offered opportunities to invest in 'sustainable energy' type funds. They will likely raise a lot of money and that has to go somewhere! Whether wpho is too much of a minnow though, I don't know. |

Posted at 01/6/2015 16:32 by lord orphan Back from the dead. Tipped in the Investors ChronicleWINDAR PHOTONICS Windar Photonics’ (WPHO) business also concerns the movement of air, although it is unlikely you will be familiar with its main product: a sensor placed on top of wind turbines which measures the direction and speed of the wind using a laser beam. But Windar’s LiDAR system – which reduces stress on the turbines’ components and can help generate an extra 4 per cent increase in power – will certainly be on the radar of all wind energy companies and their financiers. Sales are expected to significantly ramp up next year, when broker Edison estimates pre-tax profits will hit €12.7m (£9.1m), translating to 26¢ (19p) earnings per share. At 123.5p, that puts the shares on 7 times 2016 forecast earnings. It’s early days, but such a clearly disruptive (and patented) technology offers huge upside, beyond the early gains on the 100p listing price. Buy. Windar’s LiDAR system will certainly be on the radar of all wind energy companies and their financiers” |

"The Board considers that the primary method for distributing profits to its shareholders will be by way of dividends. The Company does not expect to be in a position to declare a dividend in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2015. Following such period, the current intention of the Directors is that the Group’s dividend policy will be to pay at least 50 per cent. of its annual net distributable profits (to the extent that any such profits are available for distribution) by way of ordinary dividends on an annual basis as a final dividend." |
