Allocate Software: A healthy cash generator - Edison
Workforce optimisation specialist Allocate Software (LON:ALL) is a "healthy cash generator" which delivered full year results ahead of Edison's expectations, the research house said today.
The firm recently revealed increased revenues and operating profits (at the EBITDA level) during the year to May 31, despite tough conditions in its key healthcare markets.
Revenue increased 37 per cent to £30.1 million, while EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) grew 57 per cent to £5.8 million.
Allocate now has a strong four-year track record of sales and earning expansion, said Edison analyst Dan Ridsdale in a note.
He added that its prospects for growth continued to look good - through both international expansion and deeper penetration of the NHS.
Cash conversion is excellent and visibility is improving as recurring revenues grow, he added. He pointed out that the firm's current rating appeared "scant reward" for all these attributes.
The firm's shares are currently trading at 77 pence but Edison said that considering the company’s considerable scope for expansion, strong track record of growth and excellent cash conversion, it felt a share price north of 90p was "perfectly justifiable".
Ridsdale said the growth prospects remained solid for this year, and within the NHS he expected the firm to continue to add new trusts while "contract extension rates should continue to grow".
"The acquisition of Zircadian should enhance prospects in doctor rostering, while Allocate’s sales leverage is now translating into better sales performance from Dynamic Change.
"The acquisition of RosterOn should shore-up expansion plans in Australia and an active pipeline in the US is also being reported," he added.
