TELIT, Could Be Worth A Speculative Punt Over The Next Few Weeks Or So. (TCM)     

goldfinger - 20 Sep 2005 12:27

Sorry havent got much information on this one yet so if you are interested please please do your own research to compliment the information I have been given. Sorry just back from holiday.

I dont think techs are in fashion at the moment but this company could just have the contracts awaiting to be announced that could really put it on the map.

Citywire yesterday gave out this news....

Telit chief executive Oozi Cats told Citywire that the company should have a dramatic announcement with one of the worlds biggest companies in the next couple of weeks for its data product business, and another with one of the biggest mobile operators in Europe for its latest branded 3G phones.

Telit has two distinct divisions, both built on its know-how and expertise in mobile communications. The first supplies non-branded handsets to mobile phone operators and retailers. The second, the data products division, supplies a radio frequency GSM engine that enables machine-to-machine communication over mobile networks. ENDS.

Well its obviously very speculative but might be just worth a punt.

More information when I recieve it.

Please DYOR.

cheers Gf.

PS, its well below its placing price aswell.

Telit Communications expects H1 revenues will be about $156.2m, an increase of 13.2% over the comparable period last year.

Revenues are expected to include $11.1 million (H1 2014: $9.2 million) generated from the Company's IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS) through its services division, which represents 20.6% year-over-year growth.

Net cash/debt as of June 30, 2015 is expected to be approximately zero (Nil) (December 31, 2014: net debt of $3.9 million).

Additionally, the Board is pleased to provide, for the first time, guidance for the full trading year of 2015, as follows:

· Revenues: $347m-$354m

· Adjusted EBITDA: $42m-$47m

Can Telit Communications recover from 44% crash? -Lee Wild | 7th August 2017

Investing successfully in Telit Communications (TCM) has always been about timing. Traders who got it right cleaned up, but holding too long was always the risk. And owning Telit over the weekend would have been expensive after the AIM techie today admitted it swung to a half-year loss and scrapped the dividend.

Brave investors could have snapped up Telit for around 8p a share in early 2009. They hit 357p in 2015 before peaking at 379p on 1 May this year. A few days later the company could only get a £39 million share placing (for acquisitions) away at 340p, and it's been downhill ever since.

Monday's 44% crash had them at just 143.25p briefly, extending the dive from its high to as much as 62%.

Revenue at Telit, whose technology connects machines to the internet via both cellular and short-range networks, grew by almost 7% in the first six months of 2017 to nearly $178 million (£136 million).

However, heavy investment in acquisitions at company, which this year received the first purchase order from Tesla (TSLA) for all Model 3 cars, wiped almost a third off adjusted cash profit to $14.7 million.

Buying Stollmann in 2016 and GainSpan this year triggered a surge in spend on both research & development and marketing, causing a plunge from $4.7 million pre-tax profit a year ago to a loss of $6.7 million this time.

We're told it will splash out less on R&D and marketing as a percentage of revenue both in the second half and in 2018. Telit's top line is also typically weighted to the second half of the year, so one would normally expect a pick-up over the next few months.

"Overall, we remain confident of a strong second half performance," writes long-serving chief executive Oozi Cats, who currently owns 12.6% of the business.

However, the gap will be far more dramatic this year, and that's a worry for investors.

There were also supplier delays in obtaining US certifications for so-called Long-Term Evolution (LTE) - a standard for high-speed wireless communication - products. Again, these should be received in "the coming weeks" and drive sales in the second half, but traders are cautious.

And it's easy to understand that nervousness given the wide range of profit outcomes indicated by latest company guidance.

Expect an increase in full-year revenue to $400-$430 million versus $370 million in 2016, says Telit. But adjusted cash profit could be anywhere between $47 million and $60 million - as much as down 13% or up 10% - compared with $54.4 million a year ago. We'll see.

Of course, a spectacular price plunge like this inevitably attracts bargain hunters. And, by lunchtime, Telit shares had bounced off their 143p low to trade at 176p, a gain of over 20%.

We've seen Telit shares recover sharply from setbacks before and, as always, the trick is to identify whether these are just one-off events, or if there's a deeper problem lurking somewhere here.

First impressions are that it's the former, but markets don't take shocks like this well, and there's a repair job to be done at Telit. To help, the company has brought in finnCap as nominated advisor and joint broker. If history is any indicator, new brokers are keen to publish their thoughts, which typically focus on the positives.

It's also worth noting here that finance director Yosi Fait last month exercised 500,000 share options at 206p, selling the resulting 173,567 shares plus another 315,000 at an average price of 310p. That's what I call good timing.

Watch to see if he and other directors are as keen to buy now that the shares are considerably cheaper.

LONDON, Aug 9 (Reuters) - The chief executive of technology
firm Telit has taken a leave of absence after the
London-listed company said it had discovered he had been
indicted in the United States 25 years ago over an alleged
mortgage fraud.

Telit said in a regulatory statement on Wednesday that it
had been made aware of the indictment against CEO Oozi Cats,
which was later dismissed, and had appointed a law firm to
review the matter, which it said was "unrelated to Telit and
significantly pre-date(s) its establishment".

Cats, who could not immediately be contacted on Wednesday,
was alleged in a Boston federal court in 1992 to have been
involved in a "land flip" scheme that bought and sold properties
at inflated prices in order to take out fraudulent mortgages,
copies of court documents reviewed by Reuters show.
An arrest warrant for Cats was issued under an alternative
spelling of his name, Uzi Katz, but he was never detained,
according to the court documents.

Although the case against Cats was dismissed in 2006, it was
not mentioned in the company's prospectus when it listed on
London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in 2005.
Telit gave no further detail, but a source close to the
company said its inquiry will focus on whether Cats' past had
been adequately disclosed to the board and investors. It is
expected to conclude within the next few weeks.

Shares in Telit fell by as much as 45 percent on Wednesday,
taking its losses for the week to 60 percent after the company
posted a shock interim loss on Monday. [nL5N1KT1A4]
Telit, whose products and services connect devices to apps
and enterprise systems, was until recently one of the largest
stocks on AIM and has a number of high profile shareholders,
including Norway's state pension fund Norges Bank Investment
Management and Allianz Global Investors.

It has also secured tens of millions of euros in
low-interest loans and grants from the Italian ministry for
economic development to run research facilities in the country,
according to Telit's latest annual report.

But Telit has also seen elevated levels of short-selling -
where investors sell borrowed shares, hoping to buy them back
later at a lower price and pocket the difference - with 13.3
percent of its shares out on loan to hedge funds, according to
regulatory filings, by far the highest on the AIM index.

Cats, who sold around a third of his shares in Telit in May
for 24 million pounds, told Reuters in March there was "not one
single economic reason" for hedge funds to bet against the firm.

On Monday Cats bought 400,000 Telit shares for 687,000
pounds.

Internet-of-things specialist Telit Communications has said its chief executive will take a leave of absence while it investigations allegations he is a fugitive from a fraud indictment in the US.

On Tuesday morning Telit said that its board of directors had “appointed independent solicitors to conduct a thorough review of this matter.” It added that the board had agreed to Oozi Cats’ own request for a leave of absence while the lawyers probe the allegations.

A report in Italy’s il Fatto Quotidiano suggested that Mr Cats was indicted by the district court in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992 on counts of wire fraud.

Shares in the company, which was valued at more than £500m on London’s junior AIM exchange earlier this year after it rode a wave of investor excitement about Iot technology, fell by a third on Wednesday morning.

Telit sells hardware that it says enables devices from concrete-mixer trucks to parking meters to communicate wirelessly. Its share price hit an all time high of 375p in April, having more than quadrupled in the preceding three years.

The stock has fallen by 54 per cent since August 4. Telit warned on revenues on August 7, saying US certification of some of its products had been delayed.

Records from the district court of Boston, Massachusetts show that an individual named Uzi Katz was indicted on January 8 1992 for wire fraud, and a warrant was put out for his arrest. The records also refer to the defendant as a “fugitive”.

It remains unclear whether the person named in the court documents is the Telit chief executive. A person close to the company confirmed the chief executive sometimes spells his name as “Uzi Katz”.

This person added that the company knew no more than what was publicly available, adding that its lawyers hoped to conclude their investigations into the matter by the end of the week.

Telit’s stock has been volatile since May, when Mr Cats sold off more than 7m shares in the company, raising in excess of £24m. A person close to the company said he had sold the shares to repay personal loans he had taken out in US dollars, following a sharp fall in the value of sterling relative to the US currency. Mr Cats could not be reached for comment.

Breaking yesterday's intraday highs and resistance since 130p........

Share magazine today's article

Connectivity kit designer Telit Communications (TCM:AIM) saw its share price smashed on a half year plunge into the red, cuts to growth targets and an axed dividend. That disappointment sent the stock crashing from 257.5p on 7 August to 150p, bouncing to 172.5p the following day.

Delays in getting appropriate certifications for new products in the US, a spike in research, development and working capital costs and hints that large scale deployments may be delayed did the damage.

Squeezed cash leaves the company with $9m of net debt versus net cash expectations. This comes just two months after the company raised $50m of new funding at 340p per share. Analysts at Canaccord believe previous acquisition plans will now have to be out on hold.

We believe serious questions about the company’s future as an independent are now likely to be asked. Telit sees its growth future in supplying high margin services to the potentially enormous internet of things connected environment. Yet around 90% of its revenue still comes from mobile, wi-fi and narrowband wireless hardware sales, according to the respected technology website TechMarketView, where sales cycles can be long and unpredictable.

Almost every large mobile network operator, telecoms supplier and IT services companies all jockeying for market share in the internet of things space, Telit may find its future may be as part of a much bigger and financially powerful organisation
