We spoke about this share a little while ago ITM. I've had a glance through the full year figures reported some time ago which are here for those interested:
Developments In the last 12 months:
· Strategic partnership with Linde announced in October 2019 and formation of ITM Linde Electrolysis (ILE) GmbH joint venture, allowing ITM Power to focus exclusively on the manufacture of electrolysis equipment for larger scale systems
· Commercial partnership agreement with Snam S.p.A. (one of the world's leading energy infrastructure operators) announced today, including a £30m strategic equity investment in the Company, together with an initial 100MW preferred supplier indicative commitment to 2024
· Proposed equity fund raise of £150m (including the Snam investment) plus an up to £7m open offer (to existing shareholders) to accelerate the Company's development also announced today
· Record current backlog of £118.7m (previous high £55.0m) and tender opportunity pipeline of £324.9m (£263m as at June 20)
· Near completion of the worlds' first Gigafactory at Bessemer Park, Sheffield, expected to reach annual production capacity of 1,000MW per annum by end 2023
· EU funding of €150 billion announced for green hydrogen in the 10 years to 2030
· A total of five European governments have now stated explicit electrolyser targets for 2030: France 6.5GW, Germany 5GW, Spain 4GW, Holland 3-4GW and Portugal 2GW
FY2020 Financials:
· Transition year with revenues and EBITDA adversely affected by COVID-19, Brexit and the adoption of IFRS 15
· Total Revenue & Project Grant Funding of £5.4m (2019: £17.5m) down 69%, comprising:
o Sales revenue: £3.3m (2019: £4.6m) down 28%
o Collaborative grant income recognised: £2.1m (2019: £12.9m) down 84%
· Loss from operations £29.4m (2019: £9.3m),
· Adjusted EBITDA loss (see note 7) £18.1m (2019: loss £7.3m), increased 148%
· Available cash balance of £39.9m at year-end (2019: £5.2m)
Now then, just as a comparison to see how we are valued makes for interesting analysis and reading. How such stocks are valued is beyond my compression, but one has to think that See is outstandingly undervalued. Perhaps if future RNS's are drafted to capture projected earnings (pipeline) then maybe this would impact the SP?!
