So once TAP and RTHM the combined company
will have had 2018 earnings of roughly $700m revenue and $100m Ebitda. This has been announced by Taptica management and also fits consensus figures for both companies. The market cap for both companies is $169m and $176m respectively. So on today's stock prices the combined company should have a market cap of c. $345m.
So based on those figures, I have done some comparisons with three other publicly listed ad-tech companies, The Trade Desk (TTD), Criteo (CRTO) and S4 Capital (SFOR). The first two on NASDAQ, the last on AIM. CRTO have just released their 2018 results this week, TTD are due to release on 21/2 so figures are estimates, SFOR figures are those quoted by their CEO in a recent interview based on current trading. Figures are in USD. Market Cap based on today's stock prices. TTD do not seem to report EBITDA figures as far as I can tell.
Market Cap/Revenue
TTD 6,635m/465m = 14.3
SFOR 614m/150m = 4.1
CRTO 1,848m/2297m = 0.8
TAP/RTHM 345m/700m = 0.49
Market Cap/EBITDA
SFOR 614m/30m = 20.5
CRTO 1,848m/321m = 5.75
TAP/RTHM 345m/100m = 3.45
So whilst this is slightly simplistic, it shows how undervalued TAP/RTHM are at today's share prices compared with its rivals.
Once combined I think on current performance of the two companies, £3.50 - £4 will be a realistic valuation. I am hoping that the buyback which is due to start as soon as the deal is completed, will quickly push the SP over £3 .
