DELLING, Boring Miserable Swedo Company, But is it Cheap?. (DLG)     

goldfinger - 25 Oct 2006 17:02

The answer to that I believe is...

Its going cheap at the moment and there looks to be considerable upside from its present price of circa 10p. Ive had it on the watchlist for the last 6 months and it continues to do deal after deal but nobody notices .

Plenty more room for acqusitions aswell which will see growth booming.

The company is valued at less than 15 million. By the financial year 2007/8 sales will be 40 million and profits after tax at least 4 million I reckon.

House broker Seymour Pierce have the following forecasts on the company but these I beleive will be smashed.....

To 31-Dec-06 EPS 1.00p P/E 10.0 PEG n/a EPS Growth n/a
To 31-Dec-07 EPS 1.50p P/E 6.7 PEG 0.1 EPS Growth +50%

If the present momentum in the markets goes forward this company on fundies should at least double within a year.

Heres a bit of background on the companys operations......

Delling Group is a leading supplier of marketing support services for marketing
and communication departments throughout The Nordic countries.


Delling manages all fields of graphic support in many different forms and
formats including trade fairs, exhibitions and interactive digital solutions for
the web, mobile telephone marketing solutions, motion media for flat screens,
plasma or LCD.


It also supplies IT solutions which support and increase the efficiency of both
marketing and information departments. However, its major strength is that the
Group can deliver complete turnkey solutions, tailor-made for its customers'
every need. Delling also offers outsourcing solutions that can substantially
save costs and improve efficiency.


The Group's major activities are today concentrated in the Norwegian and Swedish
markets, however, it is quickly expanding into other Nordic areas, as well as
having customers and production facilities in Eastern Europe. It also has well
respected suppliers as far afield as China and Thailand.


Delling Group has today 80 employees. It is rapidly developing its organisation
by focusing on supplying its customers with the quality they demand, delivered
on time at the right price. Central to its philosophy lies the fact that its
customers will obtain greater effects and efficiency for every pound they invest
in marketing and information. The Group has strong growth, both through further
development of existing clients and establishment of many new relationships,
together with acquiring companies that enhance and further develop our business
concept.


Delling's goal is within the course of the next two years, through both
satisfied customers and recommendations, to be the largest and most profitable
company in the field of marketing support services within the Nordic countries,
and a significant player within Eastern Europe. In October 2004, Delling was the
first Scandinavian business to be listed on the Alternative Investment Market
('AIM'), the London Stock Exchange's international market for smaller growing
companies. This has given Delling access to capital funds for the further
development of the Group.

Lifted this from another board, Luke Heron of Watshot.com commentating on DLG late last week.

I do not own this stock, but it is most definetely on my list of temptations. I continue to be very impressed at the speed at which the company is moving its acquisition pipeline forward. In particular, I was very impressed with recent deal to acquire Scandinavian Exhibition Group, a privately owned and profitable exhibition company with offices and operations across Scandinavia. SEG has annual turnover of 3.5 million and enjoys a gross profit margin of 54%. The current share price does not reflect the significant progress made this year, especially over the summer - the low PE, strong growth, low price to sales ratio, which in turn is backed up by a very strong acquisition pipeline, certainly supports a case for strong share price growth.

goldfinger - 06 Nov 2006 08:25 - 39 of 86

Off to a bright start, a 10,000 buy already in the bag.

goldfinger - 10 Nov 2006 12:34 - 40 of 86

For Release 7:00 am 13 December 2006




DELLING GROUP PLC (DLG.L)

The AIM-listed marketing support services group


Contract Gain


'Scandinavian retailer Expert adds revenues

of approx £3.6 million p.a.'


'New mobile marketing contract'


Delling Group PLC ('Delling'), the only listed marketing support services group
on AIM whose principal assets are in Scandinavia, announces that it has agreed a
new contract with Expert Invest AB ('Expert') in which Delling will be responsib
le during 2007 for the production and delivery of all graphical material to
Expert's 300 shops in Sweden. This new contract is in addition to the roll out
and development of the previously announced two year contract with Expert for
the implementation of graphic and motion media and screen installations in
Expert's recently acquired 'Power' shopping chain.


Delling anticipates that revenues from this new contract, when added to the
previously announced improved expected revenues from Expert (announced 04/10/
06), should result in Delling receiving revenues from Expert in the region of
£3.6 million per annum. With the contribution from the first Expert deal only
taking effect from August 2006, this new contract should represent a significant
increase to Delling's expected organic growth in 2007/2008.


Delling is also pleased to confirm that other contracts announced in 2006
continue to develop according to expectations.


On a separate matter, as previously announced, Delling considers that mobile
marketing is an increasingly important area of its services and its now working
on securing services from firms with advanced and accepted technology with a
view to generating an income stream from them as quickly as possible. To this
end, an agreement has been signed with Mobtopia AS which provides Delling with
the rights to offer Mobtopia's technology under Delling's own brand name to
Delling's customers in Scandinavia. Discussions are now being held with a number
of Delling's customers about such projects.


Commenting, Geir Lolleng, Chief Executive of Delling, said:


'The development of a number of smaller, but still significant contracts,
especially in the exhibition arena, make 2007 the first full year that Delling
can really benefit from the effects of economies of scale. We are also pleased a
bout the prospect of starting to generate income in the mobile marketing area
from January 2007, an area from which we are expecting a strong growth in the
coming years.'

Yet again patience.

Looks interesting I will be researching this one with a view to buy in.

lol.. nice to hear from you all again!!
How is other stock doing gf? WNG is doing very well!!
I guess DLG would not start rising until late this year, so I left quite a long term for it, how ever it is a good stock, willing to pay my patience and got in at this price, looking forward seeing this to double!!! could be more than double!!

Checked a few figures for profit forecast for 2006 and 2007, it's very hard to work with so many contract wins and acquistions in last 6 months. I can't see how the broker is forcasting profit of 1.0m and EPS of 1p for 2006, my figure comes out as a loss of -0.350m. But my 2007 profit figure comes out much higher than forecast at a profit of 5.0m, so if I'm close I would think the shares will start to perform some time after the results are published in June.

Must admit it's very hard to work out, have either of you made any calculations re-results.

goldfinger - 10 Mar 2007 23:30 - 52 of 86

Hi SF,

the group should deliver earnings of 0.7p for the year to 31st December 2007, climbing to circa 1.8p next year. At 10p, the shares thus trade on 14.3 times earnings falling to just 5.5 for 2008.

Over the past year AIM-listed Scandinavian based, marketing services group, Delling, has completed four acquisitions, a 5.3 million pounds placing and has taken steps to improve margins within the business. The company has also started to deliver clear organic growth that is sustainable. We believe that our forecasts for the group for 2007 are too low by a material order and feel confident of introducing new forecasts for 2008. It would appear the City has not totally forgiven Delling for a profits warning more than a year ago, and it has failed to take on board the progress made since that event and the profits potential of the group. Despite this, we believe the shares are materially undervalued and rate the shares as a buy at 10p with a new 12 month price target of 35p.

Delling is a market support services company. It provides out-sourced services to the marketing department 'back offices' of companies predominantly operating in Scandinavia. Established under the name Depicta in 1998, the company changed its name whilst embarking on its current strategy of aggressive bolt-on acquisitions to complement its own organic growth in March 2004. It listed on AIM in the autumn of that year, and now has an impressive client list of over 300 companies, including such giants as Statoil, Norsk HydroABB, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Ericsson. It is a pioneer in the application of the latest IT technology in the creation and efficient management of new and developing marketing channels.

In June of 2006, the company undertook a 5.3 million pounds fund-raising at 8p, and used this finance to handle its balance sheet problems, which had clearly been a concern of both investors and potential customers. The company now has net debt of 2 million pounds. However, if our forecasts are reached, it is possible that banks would lend it up to 20 million pounds to support further acquisitions. The purchases this year have been funded by a cash and shares mix, which typically involves Delling paying 5 times historic pre-tax profits. In a fragmented Scandinavian market, Delling feels it has a long list of profitable, privately owned target companies which can be bought on similar terms.

In the past three months Delling has made three acquisitions. On 22nd August, it paid 1.5 million pounds (5.6 times pre-tax profits) to buy Eckerud, which has annual sales of 4.4 million pounds. On 31st August, it bought Printcenter, which has annual sales of 1 million pounds for 5 times profits, or 370,000 pounds. And on 16th October, it paid 1.18 million pounds (5 times profits) for SEG, which has annual sales of 3.5 million pounds. These three deals alone add 9 million pounds to annualised sales, before cross-selling.

Our assumption is that the group will achieve a pre-tax margin of c10% in 2007, but once the synergy between the acquired companies is realised the margin will increase to 12% by 2008. We also assume (in our 2008 numbers) that another 5 million pounds of sales will be generated via acquisition. However, there is scope for Delling to significantly exceed our forecasts in that respect. The tax charge will due to historic losses remain at 0% in 2006 and 2007 but, as those losses are exhausted, it should increase to 10% in 2008 and will remain at 20% thereafter.

We regard the risks to our forecasts as being on the upside since Delling has the appetite, balance sheet strength and opportunities to accelerate its acquisition programme. Our 12 month target prices would put the stock on a prospective price earnings ratio of 12, which for a company growing its earnings and sales at this rate is not demanding. At 10p we rate the shares as a buy with a one-year target of 35p.

Thankyou for the figures I will print these out for some light Sunday Afternoon reading, and try and make sense of my calculations.

Madison - 20 Mar 2007 21:55 - 57 of 86

From ii, Rebecca Turner targets sp 35p for 2008:

Delling (DLG) is an interesting story of acquisitive growth,
having made seven deals last year and with no signs of stopping this year. Yet the valuation fails to discount this progress, with the shares trading on a December 2008 multiple of just 3.7 times earnings. With a strong balance sheet and management with a knack for targeting the right businesses, the company is set to expand rapidly over the next few years.

Delling is a marketing support services operator which went on a brake-neck acquisition spree last year. It now manages all fields of graphic support in many different formats, including trade fairs, exhibitions and interactive digital solutions for the web, mobiletelephone marketing, and motion media for flat screens, plasma and LCD. The company also provides IT solutions to support and increase the efficiency of both marketing and information departments. The business' major strength is that it delivers complete tailor-made turnkey solutions, as well as outsourcing.

In the main, Delling's activities are concentrated in the Norwegian and Swedish markets (although it is expanding into other Nordic areas), as well as having some customers and production facilities in Eastern Europe, the UK, China, and Thailand. It now has 80 employees, having grown rapidly in recent times through the development of existing clients, the establishment of new relationships, and the acquisition of new businesses.


Strategy

The strategy for the next two years is to become the largest and most profitable Nordic marketing support group, as well as a significant player within Eastern Europe and the UK. In October 2004, Delling became the first Scandinavian firm to list on AIM, giving it access to raise new funds specifically for this expansion.

During the first half to 30 June 2006 the group delivered a 110% rise in turnover to 5 million, of which 1.5 million was won from new annual contracts, and the remainder from acquisitive growth. A fundraising for 7.5 million strengthened the balance sheet, providing the group with access to bank financing for further value-enhancing deals.

In January this year, Delling won a major outsourcing contract with Swedish grocery chain, Vi-Butikerna, worth 1.1 million per year. Under the deal, Delling will handle the production of graphical material to 90 food malls across Sweden. It will also include the production of advertisements, weekly direct-mail activities, production of brochures, and project management. Vi-Butikerna was high on Delling's list of target clients, and the deal will boost earnings forecasts.

Delling's most recent acquisition was made in February - that of Sandbergs Exhibition Group, the only listed marketing support services group in Scandinavia. Delling issued 1.48 million worth of new shares to fund the deal, bringing new institutional and retail investors to the shareholder list. Sandbergs will also have an immediate impact on the bottom line.


Driving forward

Since 2004, Delling has bought seven businesses and has increased its turnover tenfold through acquisitions and organic growth. The rate at which targets present themselves continues to rise and Delling plans to invest heavily in investigating these opportunities and ensure their smooth integration for optimum returns. Delling remains an ambitious company with growth plans to completely transform its scale and reach over the next few years. We expect the acquisition trail to continue this year, with perhaps another 5 million generated in sales as a direct result of the strategy. The focused management team and strong balance sheet will drive this process forward. If we assume a one-year multiple of 12 times earnings for the shares, we reach a 2008 target price of 35p. This valuation is not demanding for a business growing its top and bottom line at such a rate. So, with the shares now at 10.5p, there is tremendous upside. A speculative buy.

Ends

Cheers, Madison
