Imagination Technologies rises as investors welcome cost base guidance

Tue, 30th Jun 2015 07:53

Shares in chipmaker Imagination Technologies rose 3% on Tuesday after the company said it expects to see an increase in profitability in 2016, despite posting a wider loss for year to April 30.The company, whose chips are used in Apple devices, reported a pre-tax loss of £11.95m, up from £314,000 last year. However, total revenue rose to £177.02m from £170.84m.The results were slightly below consensus expectations.Royalty revenue from sales of devices containing the company's technology was up 9% at £118.9m, while licensing revenue was up 2% at £39m.Chief executive Hossein Yassaie said: "We have seen robust licensing and royalty revenues across all three IP families whilst continuing to tightly control our costs. Significantly we have secured major design wins for our graphics and processor IP with new high volume mobile players - these multi-year agreements will further drive unit shipments in the medium term. Our connectivity IP continues to gain momentum. "The established strengths and comprehensive nature of our three key IP families have enabled our unique platform capability which has significantly contributed to licensing revenues this year." Imagination Technologies said it continues to tightly manage the investment across the group and as a result, it expects the increase in adjusted operating costs to be lower than previous years and between 5% - 10%. The company said that progress made to date in the product lines and their exploitation combined with the effective operating cost management gives it confidence that it will be able to also make significant financial progress over the next few years with an expected rise in profitability in full-year 2016."We continue to believe a 30% - 40% operating margin range is a realistic target for the longer-term," said the company.Investec said: "The main positive likely to be picked up by the market is the improved operating cost base guidance, pointing to more financial discipline."The brokerage kept its 'hold' rating on the stock with an unchanged price target of 220p. "On balance expect a positive reaction today on signs of greater bottom-line discipline," it said.
