UPDATE
TOMTOM
- " the orders are there, but so are the costs "
- " outlook for 2018 disappoints "
FY17 results in short
- adj eps came in @ 26 cts , abt in line with consensus
- gross margins and EBIT were distorted by one-off's
- consumer yoy - 40%
- sports completely out
- automotive strong plus 44%
- enterprise below ( due to USD)
- Telematics softer growth, due to lower revenue per subscription
FY18
outlook disappoints, revenue 800m range ( Sports - out)
gross margin is guided at 70%
opex is guided at 545 m
EBIT guidance @ 15m
this implies negative operational leverage for 2018 ( 2017 23,5 m ex one off's)
surge in OPEX for investments in automotive/licensing , order intake and in order to remain on the forefront of HAD
guidance for adj EPS is set @ 25 ct ( new definition including def revenue correction and if adj for amortisation @ 41 ct ) vs precious consensus 'old'-reporting of 29 ct
EPS def is too complicated , better look at to EBITDA/FCF metrics
Automotive has potential, but near-term below due to OPEX and revenue phasing
revenue growth @ 15% is less than expected
longer term upside potential:
- strong order intake
- contract(s) with North American OEM
- higher prices for HAD and transition to a subscription model vs a license model, which might imply that the biz becomes more recurring on higher ASPs
- operational leverage is again postponed and visibility remains low when it comes
( LT potential might well be higher, but the investments also )
Enterprise and Telematics for outlook 2018 also weaker
- weaker USD impact, Enterprise guided to decline by some 10% yoy
- despite a nice client with leaseplan , Telematics saw 16% growth in subscibers, but revenue was down 7% for FY17
hardware sales are phasing out
USD impact on licensing is a concern, the rest is according to expectations
deferred revenue:
def rev surges: 204 to 244 , a significant increase, as such this has a negative impact on the gross margin
growth in Automotive will increase the def rev position for 2018
the impact from IFRS15 ( revenue recognition) in 2018 is yet uncertain
key for the investment vase is the FCF generation as it is not impacted by accounting noise
FCF 2017 : 50
FCF 2018 : 75 ( from Automotive)
FCF beyond 2018 and 2019 to accelerate ( Automotive)
- Valuation remains attractive
a SOTP valuation based on no value for consumer , but valuing the ALT biz at an average of 12 x EBITDA 2020F brings us to 11,20 euro a share
our LT fair value based on a DCF analysis of a successful roll-out of HAD with a 40% market share makes us arrive at 18 euro
taking the average of both we come to abt 14 euro a share for period 2018-2020
short term catalysts for a re-rating of the stock lack
ps: Morgan , heb het nog niet officieel van hen vernomen, maar ze hebben TT blijkbaar van hun te volgen lijst afgehaald.
conclusie: erg onwaarschijnlijk dat er nu grote investerings fondsen in TT gaan stappen op de outlook voor de komende 2 jaar, maar des te meer interesse voor raiders om de toko uit elkaar te willen trekken
we gaan het zien
zie net nog een lijstje met cijfers binnen komen, zal het later melden, moet nu wat anders gaan doen
succes - ik blijf zitten , maar koop niet bij, heb er zat.
