EBIT adjusted 7.2 7.0 5.1 40.8% 42.4 22.6 87.0% segment), on line Datensysteme and HPM contributed to top-line growth.

EPS 0.21 0.17 0.28 -25.0% 1.38 1.23 12.2% Thus, adj. EBITDA was EUR 10.6m. Further adjustments at EBIT level

CANCOM has released final Q1 figures, confirming preliminaries.

Along with the figures, the company also introduced a new segment structure. CANCOM now reports the cloud computing business separately, which soared by more than 90% yoy. This increase was supported by Pironet's Cloud Computing segment which recorded revenues of EUR 9.6m (+13% yoy) in Q1. We assume that HPM Networks figures are also included in the Q1 2014 figures as the company has been consolidated since March. Adjusting the figures for Pironet raises the question of CANCOM's organic growth in the cloud which needs further clarification.

CANCOM is among the early movers in the cloud computing market for mid-sized enterprises. Via the Pironet acquisition, CANCOM has strengthened its position in order to monetise its cloud portfolio, which is composed of its proprietary cloud architecture software AHP Private Cloud as well as its data centres which have become part of the CANCOM group since the acquisition of Pironet. The acquisition of HPM Networks in the U.S., a value-added reseller in the area of cloud infrastructure, will serve as a hub in order to expand in the U.S. market. HP will also play a role in CANCOM's German operations in the context of a cooperation agreement: The IT giant will market CANCOM's proprietary AHP Private Cloud solution to mid-sized companies with 500-7,000 PC seats. The Buy rating as well as the PT of EUR 43 are reiterated.

Free Cash Flow Value Potential

Warburg Research's valuation tool "FCF Value Potential" reflects the ability of the company to generate sustainable free cash flows. It is based on the "FCF potential" - a FCF "ex growth" figure - which assumes unchanged working capital and pure maintenance capex. A value indication is derived by discounting the "FCF potential" of a given year with the weighted costs of capital. The fluctuating value indications over time add a timing element to the DCF model (our preferred valuation tool).

DISCLOSURE ACCORDING TO §34B (1) OF THE GERMAN SECURITIES TRADING ACT (WHPG) AND THE ORDINANCE ON THE ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (FINANV)

The valuation underlying the investment recommendation for the company analysed here is based on generally accepted and widely used methods of fundamental analysis, such as e.g. DCF Model, Free Cash Flow Potential, Peer Group Comparison or Sum of the Parts Model. The result of this fundamental valuation is modified to take into consideration the analyst's assessment as regards the expected development of investor sentiment and its impact on the share price.

Independent of the applied valuation methods, there is the risk that the price target will not be met, for instance because of unforeseen changes in demand for the company's products, changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rate, tax rate etc. For investments in foreign markets and instruments there are further risks, generally based on exchange rate changes or changes in political and social conditions.

This commentary reflects the opinion of the relevant author at the point in time of its compilation. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the valuation can mean that the valuation is subsequently no longer accurate. Whether, or in what time frame, an update of this commentary follows is not determined in advance.

In accordance with § 5 (4) of the Ordinance on the Analysis of Financial Instruments (FinAnV) Warburg Research GmbH has implemented additional internal and organisational arrangements to prevent or to deal with conflicts of interest. Among these are the spatial separation of Warburg Research GmbH from M.M.Warburg & CO KGaA and the creation of areas of confidentiality. This prevents the exchange of information, which could form the basis of conflicts of interest for Warburg Research in terms of the analysed issuers or their financial instruments.

The analysts of Warburg Research GmbH do not receive a gratuity – directly or indirectly – from the investment banking activities of M.M.Warburg & CO KGaA or of any company within the Warburg Group.

All prices of financial instruments given in this financial analysis are the closing prices on the last stock-market trading day before the publication date stated, unless another point in time is explicitly stated.

M.M.Warburg & CO KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH are subject to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, BaFin.
