32RED (LON:TTR)

32RED, the online casino operator, has announced that following a hearing held before the High Court on 10 June 2013, a costs order has now been made in 32RED's favour in respect of its trade mark action against members of the William Hill Group. Along with the damages award itself, 32RED expects to receive payment of approximately £1.1m from William Hill. William Hill have made an interim payment of £0.8m and the balance (plus interest) will be due once the precise amount has been determined in an assessment. This award marks the end of four years of litigation that has seen all of 32RED's trade marks validated in the High Court and the removal of an infringing site from the market. The Board has also approved a special dividend of 2.5p per share.

IC view of this share - 'Strip out the current cash pile, and that earnings multiple falls to just 8.4 times this year's forecasts, dropping to a bargain basement 6.6 times 2014 earnings estimates. That valuation is not only anomalous, but with an upbeat pre-close trading update likely later this month, there is an obvious catalyst for an immediate re-rating.'

Simon T - From IC today -



Game on

Aim-traded online casino operator 32Red

(TTR: 55p) delivered a robust trading update last week ahead of interim results on Thursday 12 September. The Gibraltar-based company operates eight websites including casino sites 32red.com; nedplay.com, goldenlounge.com and dashcasino.com.

In the six-month period, 32Red’s casino revenues rose 14 per cent to £16.5m, total revenues hit a record of £19m, and active casino accounts increased a third to 42,500 customers after 32Red recruited 17,500 new players. Importantly, acquisition costs for these new recruits were kept in check at £159 per player which is easily covered by a casino yield of almost £400 per player. And this momentum shows little sign of waning as gross win is up 12 per cent since the start of July.

As I pointed out ahead of the trading update, this type of business is highly cash generative which is good news for income seekers (‘Game on’, 8 July 2013). In fact, when the company issues its interim results, the cash pile at the end of June could be as high as £7.4m, or the equivalent of 10p a share. This has already enabled the board to pay a special dividend of 2.5p a share since the period end which we have banked (ex-dividend: 10 July). And expect further good news as analysts predict the interim and final dividend’s payout will both be raised by around 17 per cent to 0.7p and 0.94p, respectively, to produce an attractive forward yield of 3 per cent.

I also believe that analysts are bang on the money with their forecast that revenues will rise from £32.1m last year to £39.2m in 2013. On this basis, cash profits jump from £3.4m to £4m, pre-tax profits rise from £3.2m to £3.8m and underlying EPS increase by over a fifth from 4.1p to 5p. For the year after, the respective forecasts are for revenues of £45.6m, cash profits of £5m, pre-tax profits of £4.8m and EPS of 6.3p. To put the modest valuation into perspective, that’s less than 10 times this year’s earnings net of cash, falling to a bargain basement 7.5 times 2014 earnings estimates. In my opinion, a rating of around 11 times 2013 earnings estimates net of cash is more appropriate.

So, ahead of what is going to be an impressive set of half year numbers in seven weeks time, and most likely another upbeat trading update, 32Red shares continue to rate a value buy on a bid-offer spread of 53.5p to 55p. My three-month fair value target price is 66p. Trading buy.

Finally, 32Red (LON:TTR) , an online casino, poker and bingo operator ranks in the top 1% of the market for its quality credentials. In 2012 the company notched up its third consecutive year of revenue growth (£32.1 million) although net profits dipped slightly to £1.9 million as it channelled funds into launching its services in Italy, where progress has been slower than expected. Even so, brokers have been upgrading their forecasts for 32Red recently (see below) and the shares have risen by 47% to 59p so far in 2013. Despite that rise, the company’s forward dividend yield is a sector-beating 4.5%. at the moment, particularly for smaller operators. Post-tax profits rose by 146% to US$14.2 million last year, 50% of which will be distributed as dividends (on top of a special payout), with the forward yield standing at an impressive 6.8% (see below). MDM scores an impressive nine out of nine on the Piotroski F-Score of balance sheet health and even looks reasonably priced, with a ValueRank of 94.

IC today - Bet on re-rating of 32Red -

At a forward PE ratio of 7, 32Red's shares are well below a two-year historic average rating of closer to 12 and look extremely cheap compared with the rest of the gaming sector, especially peers with more widely extending operations in markets such as the US and Australia. However, there is enough room for smaller operators to grow in the market and, in the final analysis, smaller scale often means shareholders see the benefits from operational gains far more quickly. Buy.

The naked trader - As you may know I like to add to the winners and 32 Red (LON:TTR) has been a real winner with excellent profits since I bought them earlier in the year.

I bought an extra 9,000 shares at 55. It's a nice one, rising profits and cash - but in the end the main thing with this one is it would make a lovely buy for any number of bigger bookie rivals. I've also bought some on the spreads at 60.

So it's quite an easy top up and I intend to hold onto them till I think an inevitable bid will come in somewhere between 80 and 100p hopefully.

Proactive investors -32Red sets new revenue record in 2014

By Jamie Ashcroft

January 22 2015, 10:33am
32Red sets new revenue record in 2014

Online casino operator 32RED (LON:TTR) told investors revenues rose 26% in 2014 to set a new company record of £32.1mln.

It marks a fifth consecutive year of double digit percentage growth, the company said.

"We performed well throughout the year with an accelerating performance in the second half following increased investment in our business,” said chief executive Ed Ware.

"Our marketing and operations have never been in better shape,” he added.

A total of 44,385 new players signed up to 32RED during 2014, up 17% on the prior year, and at 82,155 the number of active users increased 15%.

32RED generated some £510 per active user in 2014, which is 5% more than 2013.

More than half of all new players were ‘recruited’ via smartphones and tablets, the company said, while the overall ‘cost of acquisition’ equated to £184 per user, 18% more than the year before.

Michael Campbell, analyst at Northland Capital, said 32RED continues to show “healthy” top-line growth and added that the Italian business is showing particularly high growth albeit from a lower base.

The analyst, in a note, however, also highlighted that the UK’s new Point Of Consumption tax on gambling activities is a threat to the company’s margins though he says 32RED is doing well to diversify into other markets.

GAMBLING SUMMARY


We don’t like the traditional bookmakers but investors can get both value and income from stocks at the lower end of the spectrum. Smaller online gambling companies like GVC and 32Red continue to offer good growth prospects and attractive dividends.

Despite the doom and gloom this isn’t the time to turn our backs on the sector in its entirety. There are some very attractive gambling stocks out there – such as GVC (GVC:AIM), 32Red (TTR:AIM) and Betfair (BET) – which offer good value and growth prospects.

HARRYCAT - 05 Mar 2015 08:06 - 49 of 101

StockMarketWire.com
32Red has booked a FY pretax profit up 49% to £3.4m, from £2.3m. Total net gaming revenue was £32.1m, up 26% from £25.4m. The gaming revenue was heavily weighted to its underlying business.

It proposed a final dividend of 1.4p a share, up 40%, taking the total to 2.4p, up 33%.

CEO Ed Ware said:

"32Red has achieved another excellent performance and continues to go from strength to strength. Our increased marketing investment during the period has proved very successful and driven the Company to its fifth consecutive year of revenue and profit growth.

"The successful integration of Go Wild UK demonstrates our ability to source and integrate earnings enhancing acquisitions, which build upon our second to none customer service offering.

"32Red is a highly cash generative business with a strong balance sheet and I believe there are significant growth opportunities that we are well-placed to take advantage of in the market.

"Despite the recent introduction of a new UK regulatory environment, we have achieved a strong start to the new financial year and I am confident in our ability to continue to grow the business for the long term and look forward to the future with confidence."

Key highlights:
· Fifth consecutive year of double digit growth in organic revenues, accelerating in H2

Founded in 2002, the Business offers more than 500 online casino games including slots, blackjack, video poker and roulette, and benefits from a database containing 230,000 registered players. The Business reported Net Gaming Revenue (''NGR'') of £10.1m and Gross Profit (NGR less variable costs) of £3.4m for the year ended 31 December 2014. After fixed costs, estimated Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (''EBITDA'') totalled £1.6m for the year.*



Consideration



The consideration comprises the issuance to the Sellers of, in aggregate, 10,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.02p each (the "Consideration Shares") and, in aggregate, £2m in cash. Application has been made for the Consideration Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings in the Consideration Shares are expected to commence on 17 July 2015, although the Consideration Shares are subject to a twelve-month lock-in period. Following the issue of the Consideration Shares, the Company will have 83,680,056 shares in issue. The cash consideration is payable in instalments as follows: £1m on Completion; £0.5m six months thereafter and the remaining £0.5m on 31 December 2016, provided there has been no warranty or other claim in that period.



Ed Ware, CEO, 32Red Plc, commented:



"We are delighted to have acquired Roxy Palace and we believe this is very beneficial for both our existing and new shareholders. We have known and respected the business for many years, and share a number of common values. Like 32Red, Roxy Palace is also based on the Microgaming platform which will aid in making for a smooth integration.



This acquisition fits well with our regulated markets growth strategy and will allow us to leverage the expertise that the Roxy Palace team has built up over many years in international markets to the combined benefit of the enlarged business. To that end we will continue to support the Roxy Palace brand along with maximizing synergies where appropriate."

Furthermore, 32 Red has net funds of £5.7m, or 6.5p a share, on its balance sheet after factoring in the summer acquisition of remote online gaming operator Roxy Palace. So with cash available for further earnings-accretive acquisitions, and underpinned by a prospective dividend yield of 2.8 per cent, I would run your 100 per cent gains.

32Red delivers record annual gaming revenues
StockMarketWire.com
32Red has delivered record annual net gaming revenues in 2015 of GBP48.6m, up 51% from GBP32.1m a year ago. This very strong performance was driven by a combination of accelerated organic growth in its core business and a contribution from the Roxy Palace business acquired on July 14.

Early trading in 2016 has been strong across the company's products with revenues for the first nineteen days in January up 27% on the corresponding period in 2015 and up 54% including contribution from Roxy Palace.

CEO Ed Ware said:

"This excellent outcome is a reflection of the strength of the 32Red business, our talented and dedicated team, as well as our first class marketing and appealing brands.

"As a result of the strong organic growth delivered throughout the year as well as the smooth integration of the Roxy Palace business, the Company expects to report EBITDA slightly ahead of expectations for 2015 when it announces its preliminary results on Thursday 10 March 2016."

That valuation still doesn't look too punchy to me and neither does it to Mr Jones who has a new target price of 200p, up from 160p previously. So with 32Red clearly thriving in the post-Point of Consumption duty gaming market, winning customers from operators unable to compete in the more onerous tax environment, and the Roxy Palace acquisition delivering, I feel it's worth running your hefty gains ahead of the next trading update on Thursday, 10 March 2016.

If achieved it would price the shares on a more reasonable 13 times next year’s earnings estimates, a fair rating in my view given the EPS growth profile.

UPDATE ON OFFER CONDITIONS

1. Introduction
On 23 February 2017, the boards of directors of 32Red and Kindred announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of 32Red, to be implemented by way of a takeover offer in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar (the "Offer").
An offer document setting out the full terms and conditions of the Offer was published on 3 March 2017 (the "Offer Document").
Terms and expressions used in this announcement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings as given to them in the Offer Document.
 
2. Offer unconditional as to acceptances
The board of directors of Kindred is pleased to announce that, by virtue of the level of acceptances received as described below, the Offer has become unconditional as to acceptances.
The Offer will remain open for acceptance until further notice.
 
3. Level of acceptances and share purchases
As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 24 March 2017, valid acceptances had been received from 32Red Shareholders in respect of 77,978,301 32Red Shares (representing approximately 91.4 per cent. of the issued share capital of 32Red), which Kindred may count towards the satisfaction of the acceptance condition of the Offer.
 
These acceptances include:
·    36,993,281 32Red Shares, representing approximately 43.3 per cent. of the issued share capital of 32Red, received from the 32Red Directors who had given Kindred irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure the acceptance of) the Offer; and
·    23,582,110 32Red Shares, representing approximately 27.6 per cent. of the issued share capital of 32Red, received from the non-director 32Red Shareholders who had given Kindred irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure the acceptance of) the Offer.
 
None of the acceptances of the Offer received have been from persons acting in concert with Kindred. 
 
In addition, Kindred has acquired 3,320,233 32Red Shares, representing approximately 3.9 per cent. of the issued share capital of 32Red, through market purchases as announced on 24 February 2017, 27 February 2017, 28 February 2017 and 1 March 2017 respectively.
 
In total, Kindred has therefore received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of, or has acquired, 81,298,534 32Red Shares, representing approximately 95.3 per cent. of the issued share capital of 32Red.
 
The percentage holdings of 32Red Shares referred to in this announcement are based on there being a total of 85,347,528 32Red Shares in issue on 23 March 2017.
 
4. Approval by the Licensing Authority of Gibraltar
On 23 March 2017, Kindred received approval from the Licensing Authority (Gambling Division) of HM Government of Gibraltar to the acquisition by Kindred of 32Red Shares representing more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights carried by the 32Red Shares and any matters pursuant to such acquisition which relate to the control, management and operation of 32Red such that the Condition set out in  paragraph 2(a) of Part A of Section III (Conditions to and further terms of the Offer) of the Offer Document has been satisfied.
 
5. Continuation of the Offer
The Offer remains subject to the satisfaction of the remaining outstanding Conditions set out in the Offer Document, and will remain open for acceptance until further notice. At least 14 days' notice will be given by an announcement before the Offer is closed.
 
If the UKGC does not make a determination pursuant to section 102(4)(a) of the UK Gambling Act that all relevant operating licenses held by the Wider 32Red Group shall continue to have effect following the completion of the Transaction (as set out in Condition 2(b) of Part A of Section III (Conditions to and further terms of the Offer) of the Offer Document) (the "Determination") by 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 14 April 2017, 32Red and Kindred have agreed that the Offer timetable will be extended such that the final date for the fulfilment of the Conditions will be the earlier of (i) the Business Day following the date upon which the UKGC makes the Determination or (as the case may be) Kindred receives comfort to its reasonable satisfaction that the UKGC does not object to the Transaction and that the Determination will be made, and (ii) 7 June 2017 (being the date falling 12 weeks after the date on which an application was submitted by 32Red to the UKGC pursuant to section 102(2)(b) of the UK Gambling Act requesting the Determination).
 
32Red Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so as soon as possible.
 
To accept the Offer in respect of 32Red Shares held in certificated form (that is, not in CREST), 32Red Shareholders should complete and return the Form of Acceptance accompanying the Offer Document (together with the relevant share certificates and any other documents of title) so as to be received by the Receiving Agent, Capita Asset Services, as soon as possible. Acceptance of the Offer for 32Red Shares held in uncertificated form (that is, shares held in CREST) should be made electronically through CREST so that settlement occurs as soon as possible. If you are a CREST sponsored member, you should refer to your CREST sponsor as only your CREST sponsor will be able to send the necessary TTE instruction to Euroclear.
 
6. Compulsory acquisition, delisting and cancellation of trading
If the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional in all respects, Kindred intends to procure that 32Red will make an application for the cancellation of the admission to trading of 32Red Shares on AIM and Kindred will seek to re-register 32Red as a private limited company.
A notice period of not less than 20 Business Days before the cancellation will commence on the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.
Cancellation of admission to trading would significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any 32Red Shares not assented to the Offer.
Given that Kindred has received acceptances for the Offer in respect of more than 90 per cent. of the 32Red Shares to which the Offer relates by nominal value and voting rights attaching to such shares, if the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional in all respects, Kindred intends to exercise its rights under applicable Gibraltar law to acquire compulsorily, on the same terms as the Offer, the remaining 32Red Shares not assented to the Offer.
 
7. Disclosure of interests
Save as disclosed in this announcement, neither Kindred nor the directors of Kindred nor any person acting, or deemed to be acting, in concert with Kindred for the purposes of the Offer has any interest in relevant securities of 32Red or a right to subscribe for or any short positions (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short positions under a derivative, any agreement to sell or delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase or take delivery in respect of any relevant securities of 32Red or has during the Offer Period borrowed or lent any relevant securities of 32Red.
 
8. 32Red Shareholder enquiries
Subject to certain restrictions relating to persons in Restricted Jurisdictions, the Offer Document, together with those documents listed in paragraph 15 of Section V (Additional Information) of the Offer Document, are available on the Kindred website at www.kindredplc.com and on the 32Red website at www.32redplc.com.

Please note that Capita Asset Services cannot provide any financial, legal or tax advice (in relation to the Offer or otherwise) and calls may be recorded and monitored for security and training purposes.
