Strong growth across the board, some margin erosion but this is the trade off for growth.
Organic metrics grow double digit, margins remain super healthy, even on a reported basis with Net Income margin coming at 18%! Cash conversion reduced a bit to 79% but still remains very strong imo.
Outlook is strong, FY 22 momentum “has accelerated during Q1 2023”, with three record revenue months, absolute revenue growth of 52% and underlying organic revenue growth of 19%, a “Strong pipeline for the remainder of FY 23”. Management note they are upgrading FY23 expectations to £85m-£90m revenue (FactSet consensus yesterday was £86m) at an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28-30%.
Valuation: undemanding with 15x fwd P/E, EV/EBITDA 9x ; uwarranted discount to peer group, it's a bout time this stock rerate... STRONG BUY
