the turning point of this cycle could have been the 45p support yesterday

spread 46 v 47 now on a complete change of order book, yesterday the DEPTH was about 4 trades down on the bid side
today is about 9 up

Future bid prospects

Any company trading at a 75% discount to it's peers, in a rapidly consolidating market, does not stay independent for long
-------------------------
From the 2013 consolidated accounts, intangibles including goodwill were €33m. Total shareholders’ funds were €138m so even deducting the intangibles shareholders’ funds would be €105m. That compares with a market value of about €250m, i.e. net tangible assets are about 20p per share.

Within those net assets we have net cash of €43m, gross cash of €64m and a further €20 of undrawn facilities. Since Globo generated significant free cash flow from operations (about €12m) for 2014, they really don’t need anything like that amount of cash – if anything the balance sheet is too strong to the point that it is inefficient.
Of course the cash also gives them the resources to make acquisitions although to date the acquisitions they have made have been of relatively modest “infill” nature.

the amount capitalised to-date must account for most of €48.8m (= €39.8m + 9.0m) of intangible assets + goodwill (as of HY 2014). For a company on the high end of EMM technology hoping to maintain and improve on its position among the global leaders in the sector, it is essential to spend money on R&D.
One can but compared the annual spending and amounts and spending by its competitors. Then the €49m might look modest!

BINGO

steady as she goes 48.38p +3.25p +7.20%

there was a large trade earlier 60K paying almost 49p at ISDX.............

ISDX - is having a good volume and is 30 minutes delayed... 251,368K

RESUME of various places.............

The conclusion is that GBO is investing heavily in growth. All items that diminish its cash are growth driven expenditure. ie source bits, invest in R&D and w/c impact of receivables. (the recivables are down from 160 days in 2012 to 110-117 in 2014 but notwistanding it costs cash to fund the w/c to grow.
A net Free cash flow of 10.38m (10% or revenue) is not shoddy
Strip Source bits and w/c tie up the cash would be improved to 15.13m (14%)
Now lets get real:
Globo FCF per share : 5.97% of current sp
ARM is 1.2% of current SP
RR. is 0.96% of current sp.
Admiral is 2.8%
Diagio 3.2%
------------------

Last year's increase in working capitalresulted in cash outflow of 13.5m, this year's forecast is 11.9m. EBITDA forecast is 46.8m. The Sourcebits acquisition was $12m (USD) which is 9.6m euros but there was 0.6m in H1 (deferred consideration in respect of Notify) so total acquisition costs will be 10.2m euros. Forecasting capitalised R&D of 24.6m, interest payments of 3.1m. At year end net cash was 40.3m (vs 42.7m in 2013) so free cash flow for the year will be 7.8m euros (40.3 - 42.7 +10.2 = 7.8).

EBITDA figure of 34m looks low, we're forecasting an operating profit of 35m so adding back depreciation and amortisation costs (non cash costs reported in the P+L) of 11.8m takes us to 46.8m EBITDA.

another steady rise, though not large it is better this way ahead of news of when the results are going to be announce, expectations going from previous years is before the end of this month

spread 47 v 48
a very strong order book 21 v 10

and bid/offer price 78K v 35K

not much volume on the LSE and not better on the ISDX

A long time treading water but I still think we will move materially higher at some point. When is the question! Canaccord buy rating maintained this month, tp 90p. RBC 120p from February.

Looking better this afternoon, though very volatile and the higher bid that someone is placing is being taken soon by "AT"

volume is rising also, soon should be news of when results are announce

spread 47 v 47.75p, was a bit earlier at 47.75 v 48.25p

Level2 / order book DEPTH is strong at 23 v 13

Let's hope the results will be the catalyst.

Results were 30th April last year.

finally the company has announce the date of results ............

Notice of 2014 Final Results

Globo plc (LSE-AIM: GBO), the international provider of Enterprise Mobility Management, mobile solutions and software as a service, will announce its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2014, on Thursday 30 April 2015.

A presentation to analysts and private client brokers will be held at 10.30 on that day at the MWB Business Exchange, 55 Old Broad Street, London, EC2M 1RX.

Not long to wait perhaps we'll start to see a move northwards

Isn't this based in Greece ?....

I think now it has a small percentage only in Greece now , it sold most Greek business.

spread 47.50 v 48p

Since yesterday there is some sense of fresh air on the trading front, and though the closing price yesterday was still @ 47p one could see plenty of trades well above that.

today has started where late yesterday finished and the fruit of it is showing on the share price and also on the trades and much the same on the order book, very strong on the bid side

I would hope to see us edging 50p before the results on Thursday...

Well looking good for the Thursday's results as it reaches highs not seeing for some time

the order book continues strong and glad the sell order at 48.50p was not large and now over.

order book DEPTH 29 v 21

So perhaps today then!

GBO results due on Thursday

--------------------------
Last month ST covered GBO, 2014 eps expectation in line with Arthurlys:-

This news can only underpin prospects for this year and expectations that Globo will deliver on analysts’ pre-tax profit estimates of €50.7m on revenues of €122m, up from €34.3m and €99.8m forecast for calendar 2014. On this basis, EPS are predicted to increase by 11 per cent to 8.2 cents (5.8p) in 2014, rising to 11.9 cents (8.5p) this year.
This means that even after factoring in the near 10 per cent appreciation of sterling against the euro since the start of 2015, Globo’s shares are still only priced on 10 times likely fiscal 2014 earnings, falling to 7 times 2015 estimates assuming of course it delivers the robust growth anticipated by sector analysts.
