CityFibre IPO: Telecoms firm to float in London


Liberum Capital and FinnCap appointed to lead £25 million fundraising

CityFibre IPO: Telecoms firm to float in London

After trading lower for most of Thursday’s session in New York, the Gafisa share price ended the day higher.

iNVEZZ.com, Tuesday, November 26: CityFibre, a UK-based fibre-optic infrastructure business, is preparing to float on London’s AIM market which is expected to value the company at between £50 million and £55 million, the Times has reported.

The telecoms company, which claims to be “the largest provider of fibre infrastructure to the UK’s second tier cities” with a network of 30,000 km of cable covering 50 towns and cities across the UK, is looking to raise the stakes in its competition with BT for business in areas underserved by the nation’s telecoms companies. The debate around the digital divide in Britain has focused on users in rural areas but many consumers and businesses in second-tier cities also suffer from low broadband speeds and a reliance on BT to upgrade networks.

According to The Telegraph, CityFibre “is believed to be about to begin a fundraising road show with potential investors to raise as much as £25 million ahead of a listing on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM”, the market for smaller, growing companies. It is understood that ahead of the initial public offering (IPO), the company has raised approximately £11 million from its board as well as private investors.

CityFibre was founded by  Greg Mesch who has built up five companies from start-up enterprises over the past 25 years, including Irish alternative telecoms company ESAT and Versatel, which built a network in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. ESAT was sold to BT for €1 billion (£837.7 million) and Versatel was sold to Sweden’s Tele2 for €2 billion (£1.67 billion).

The company is backed by the private equity investor Jon Moulton, who will keep a substantial stake after the float. CityFibre’s founders, directors and staff own half of the company shares.

The Times noted that North American private equity funds had shown interest in CityFibre but the company’s “management believes a British listing will strengthen its hand in bidding for public sector contracts.”

CityFibre is targeting locations including York, Bournemouth and Peterborough by building dense metropolitan networks in cities across the UK, aiming to turn them into ‘gigabit’ cities by delivering download speeds of up to 1Gbps to homes and offices.


The most recent development was the signing of a contract with the Peterborough City Council on November 13 to transform Peterborough into a ‘gigabit’ city. CityFibre had previously announced that it was to invest £30 million into the city to create a fibre network. The first services will go live in summer 2014, and the network is due for completion by April 2015.

The company will offer a business broadband package with speeds of between 500Mbps and 1Gbps at a cost of £50 to £100 per month, while the consumer fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband package will cost £25 to £50 a month for the same speeds.

CityFibre believes there are 100 such cities in Britain where it can expand to, that will cover roughly 10 percent of the population. The company hopes to build a credible third-placed infrastructure player that can compete with BT and Virgin Media.

SafeCharge, an online payments processor, has applied to float its shares on London's AIM market.

The company intends to raise $100m as part of its initial public offering.

The firm, which is 90% owned by Israeli entrepreneur Teddy Sagi, said net proceeds from the offer will be used to drive revenue growth, including acquisitions particularly in the Asia Pacific and the Americas.

No shares will be sold by existing shareholders or Chief Executive Officer David Avgi.

"We're very excited by the prospect of listing in London, which will improve the group's profile amongst prospective clients and should enable us to grow both organically and through acquisitions,” Avgi said.

In the year through December 2013, the group recorded turnover of $43.2m and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $11.3m.

Rosslyn Data Technologies plc AIM 30/04/2014 TBC :-)) PDYOR


Location of address at which admission document will be available: The admission document containing full details about Rosslyn Data Technologies plc and the admission of ordinary shares will be available from the offices of the Company at 25 Eccleston Place, London, SW1W 9NF.


Rosslyn Data Technologies Limited was incorporated on 7 February 2014 and has been established as the new holding company of Rosslyn Analytics Limited and its subsidiary, Rosslyn Analytics, Inc (together the "Group" or "Rosslyn"). Founded in 2005, with headquarters in London and offices in both New York and Colorado, USA Rosslyn is focused on serving the global business intelligence marketplace in relation to the Big Data challenge. Business intelligence aims to improve business insight to support better decision-making by increasing the quality, reliability and visibility of information available to management. Rosslyn provides analytical services to its clients by combining four key technologies: data extraction; cleansing; enrichment; and visualisation through a single cloud platform enabling users with detailed data to make more informed decisions. Rosslyn's proprietary RAPid platform delivers cloud technology to customers and is the Group's primary product available to its customers. The Group's main country of operation is the UK.

There is a bubble in initial public offerings (IPOs) that will cause awful losses for investors, the Sunday Telegraph's Questor column said. Royal Mail, with its monopoly on mail and parcel delivery and prime London property holdings, was the exception to an IPO boom that has seen companies such as Just Eat, AO World and Boohoo.com valued at 100 to 200 times profits. Investors should ask if owners are investing for growth or cashing in and whether the business has a dominant market position or protected technology. Ignore most IPOs and the shares will probably be cheaper six months later.

Backing the right horse in the IPO race and making sense of Quindell

Round the desk at Shard has been discussing IPOs over the last week. There have been 31 on AIM since January and with this frenzy investors need to be selective about which ones they go for – and as important, which they avoid.

Shard supported the Bagir Group’s (LON:BAGR) floatation on Tuesday April 15, dodged the Haydale Graphene Industries (LON:HAYD) and will be participating in the Rosslyn Data Technologies listing on the April 29. Below Gareth Burchell gives us his thoughts on our AIM debutants.

Bagir Group

Bagir has been around since the 60s and has been supplying tailoring to the likes Marks & Spencer since the early 70s. Bagir account for at least 40% of Marks’ and Arcadia’s formalwear business and also works with John Lewis, Austin Reed, Moss and House of Fraser.

The next step is to carve out this sort of market share in ladieswear market. The house broker thinks revenues of $100m could be more like $300m over time. Any loss of a major client would be a big blow and the sector is competitive. But with an anticipated yield in 2014 of 5.3%, it provides income and growth.

Haydale Graphene Industries

It seemed to us that the Graphene space could have been a bit of a bubble. We were fearful that the hype surrounding Graphene plays could have led to an inflated valuation and at £23mln we thought it was a bit too expensive. The broker forecasts did not excite us and lacked revenue visibility. Graphene undoubtedly has a lot of potential but we just felt the valuation of this particular company was a tad toppy. The price has been hit quite hard since its float at 210p, with shares currently around 141p.

Rosslyn Data technologies

Rosslyn is a “big data” play and a leader in cloud based analytics. The company takes all of its existing data from internal systems through to social media, tidy it all up and use the data to provide important analytics back to the client. It delivered £10mln of savings for one blue chip client for just a £60,000 spend and have an impressive list of over 50 multi-national customers including the likes of Coca Cola, Sony, Diageo, Xerox and GE.

Cenkos is bringing the stock to the market on the next week and we are looking forward to its debut. Although its revenues are early stage, the management have spent £5mln developing the technology and With any share in this space there is the chance that someone comes along with better technology, so Rosslyn will need to turn its potential into revenue. But, with a pre-money valuation of £15mln, we think there is upside from here.

And finally…Quindell

It has been a rollercoaster week for Quindell (LON:QPP) with the shares hitting a high of 40p and a low of 18.5p on the back of a report that all is not quite as it seems with the business. We at Shard like the shares and supported them in the 16p fundraise last year. At the time of writing we were expecting a detailed RNS either Friday or early next week to respond to this speculation and hopefully put the market straight. To me this moves seems overdone considering the company behind the report has made no secret of the fact it is short of the stock. What has probably made things worse is a series of stops being hit and people trading on leverage being closed out, making the decline much worse. If this Quindell’s response lays these allegations to bed, this could give believers a chance to top up at lower levels.
