My take on the presentation17 Aug 2021 15:16
Unsurprisingly im bullish so im sure the usual lot can comment for the bear case...
Financials/Forecast
PF is repeatedly bullish about not just 2021 numbers but more importantly the 2022 numbers with £23mill revs and £5.3mill profit. There was a nice table to show where the revs gap from H1 to H2 is coming from and onwards to 2022. These aren't just made up numbers. They've to show the broker, nomad etc and if they mislead the market its a big deal. Hitting 2021 numbers will be impressive but certainly that huge jump to 2022 numbers will be colossal for the SP
DRC
Its signed and can't get unsigned he says. Although cant earn us any money until ratification so you can understand why we want that. Covid, personnel changes in DRC and the bike/aircraft crash all sighted as causes of minor delay. PF says its all a formality citing all the gov agencies involved and i would tend to agree. Anyone calling this as not going to happen will have egg on their face at some point soon
Technology
PF liked the "right shifting" chat but its likely true. There seems to be a number of large tech sales in the immediate future, certainly one looks nailed on to bolster the 2021 numbers up to £15.7mill rev targets
Current MSCs
Tema working well and expanding, SL airport up at over 70% numbers now. All good things, may it continue. Tema seems more immune to coined that the airports tho.
Boarder crossings
This was one of my questions (they read out a few). Not an imminent contract but sounds like a tech sale that turns into multi year revs. Perhaps one to land in 2022. He quoted the scanners can be up to £15mill+ so certainly not going to harm a FY revenue if/when one lands
BF
Initial report sent to gov. Im sure it say "everything you have is ballix, you need xyz which we can provide for $x/passenger". If they get the same $25/passenger as DRC then that's great cash. The main International airport has about 700k passengers which would mean revs of $17.5mill/year
KSA
Again they seem bullish albeit progress is slow. Their man on the ground is on the ground in Japan. They are bringing him back to the open day to meet some folk then sending him into KSA to finalise banking arrangements etc. I hope they then don't have to start from scratch but merely conclude some of the deals. They mention the KSA 2030 project thingy again but extremely interestingly name drop Saudi Aramco for the first time to my knowledge. I wouldn't mind an RNS to say we are guarding the bank value at Aramco HQ
All in all i was happy. They didn't discount further right shifting of work meaning financial slipping but were at pains to say its not lost revs they just get booked later an boosts the next years total.
What say you bears...
