CANCOM is scheduled to release final figures on May 13. Preliminary revenues and (adj.) EBITDA have already been announced.

  • EPS as well as IFRS-EBIT are mainly the last unknown figures and will be negatively impacted by PPA-related amortisations. We gauge that these amounted to approx. EUR 2.5m.
  • Along with the final figures, CANCOM will introduce new segment reporting which will display cloud-related revenues separately. Given the recurring nature of these revenues and their typically higher margins, investors are willing to pay higher multiples for this part of the business compared to CANCOM's original IT system house business.
  • Continued margin expansion reflects a higher share of AHP Private Cloud projects as well as more services revenues.
  • Given the intact course of growth and the promising cloud opportunities, which should receive an additional boost from the recently announced cooperation with HP, the Buy rating is being confirmed.
FY End: 31.12.

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.
