1Spatial losses deepen for the full year

Mon, 01 July 2013


Data handling group 1Spatial said full year losses widened after it booked impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of 3.5m pounds.

Loss before tax widened to £4.8m in the year ended January 31st 2013 compared to a loss of £1.6m a year earlier. Revenue jumped to £12.1m during the year from £5.2m before.

CEO Marcus Hanke said the group's restructuring would enable execution of its new growth strategy

"1Spatial is entering an exciting growth phase following a successful placing to raise funds for a highly complementary acquisition as well as the future strategic development and expansion of the business."

"The company has an impressive and growing customer base and a healthy pipeline of opportunities including National Mapping Agencies and blue-chip companies. The addition of Star-Apic gives increased scale to the business as well as future growth opportunities with management will be working over the next six months to integrate the two businesses."

1Spatial said it is encouraged by the progress made during the start of the current financial year, and looks forward to the future with confidence.

A buy in this weeks IC - Save some portfolio space for 1Spatial.

Data analysis is increasingly big business and that's potentially great news for 1Spatial - which is focused on the spatial big data market. Don't worry to much about the hefty reported loss, either 1Spatial's trading businesses all made positive cash profit contributions.
1Spatial's focus is on managing data sets, accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, that are too large and complex for traditional data processing applications.
And progress looks good. Having acquired the 1Spatial business in late 2011, the new management team spent much of 2012restructuring and working on products that utilise the group's capabilities . This has culminated in the development of a new flagship geospatial product suite, 1SMS to be launched imminently.
Moreover, revenue from the 1Spatial division reached £9.7m - well up from 2011's £7.3m - and included some strategically important contract wins with major data players, such as the US Census . Broker N+1 Singer expects underlying 1Spatial revenues to increase another 20% in the current year. Operating margins should rise, too, given the group's largely fixed cost base.
N+1 Singer forecasts group-wide revenues of £18.6m for 2014, but a mere £0.1m of adjusted pre-tax profit , rising to £1.6m in 2015, giving EPS of 0.2p.


Flush with cash following May's £17m financing , and in a sub-sector with considerable growth appeal, 1Spatial has potential. Granted some of that's already priced in after a share price hike of over 300% in the past 12 months. But N+1 Singer's discounted cash-flow valuation implies fair value at 11.3p- suggesting more longer-term upside ahead.

Trading update



1Spatial, the Spatial Big Data Company which manages the world's largest spatial data, is pleased to provide a trading update for the 12 months ended 31 January 2014 ahead of its full year results to be announced on 13 May 2014.



The Company produced a solid performance over the year and confirms that Adjusted* EBITDA and overall results for the year will be in line with market expectations.

Following the placing and the acquisition of Star-Apic in June 2013, the company maintains a strong balance sheet position with year-end cash at 31 January 2014 of £11.1m, following the payment of £0.6m to purchase the final 10% of Star-Apic in January 2014, which was acquired ahead of plan.



Key events that took place during the year ended 31 January 2014 were as follows:



- Raised £17.1m through an over-subscribed placing of shares to fund future growth

- Completed the strategically important acquisition of Star-Apic

- Established a world-wide organisational infrastructure

*Adjusted refers to before integration, strategic and other one-off items





Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive of 1Spatial said:

We have a strong team in place and an exceptional product offering. The Company has an impressive and growing customer base and a healthy pipeline of opportunities. The Board looks forward to the future with confidence."

Shares - 1Spatial’s time is coming


It’s been said in the past that 1Spatial (SPA:AIM) was too early to the Big Data space. It struggled simply because many customers and potential clients assumed the theme was for the future, not the present. But this seems to be changing and today’s confirmation of in-line results for the year to January 2014 underscores the rapid growth potentially capable by this £44 million business.

Today’s announcement was relatively short, but sweet too. This line is encouraging: ‘The Company produced a solid performance over the year and confirms that adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) and overall results for the year will be in line with market expectations.’

Yet this bit is more important for the future: ‘The Company enters the new financial year with a strong order back-log in excess of £7 million and a significant pipeline of opportunities.’ Investors certainly like the cut of 1Spatial’s jib, the shares jumping 8% to 6.75p. This, however, remains way down on the 10.5p levels seen at the start of the year, the shares slumping as part of a wider technology sell-off.


To re-cap, 1Spatial’s software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. Customerso includes Unilever (ULVR), Unisys, US Census, Ordnance Survey GB, the Brazilian Army, and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Tapping investors for £18 million last year to buy a 75% stake in Star-Apic, a Belgium-based provider of Geographic Information Systems software and solutions specialising in land and infrastructure management, it significantly bolster 1Spatial’s scope and scale, with sales and support teams bolstered in new Middle East offices. It also helps ongoing R&D and provides the firepower for more acquisitions down the line. It’s worth noting that the business now owns all of Star-Apic after buying the last 10% slug of the company in January this year.

Interestingly, 1Spatial is not burning cash as fast as it might, or was expected to. With £11.1 million on its books, or 25% of its market value, that’s more than the £10.8 million analysts at N+1 Singer anticipated at this stage. And that’s after the spending £600,000 for that last Star-Apic stake not expected by the City, equating to nearly £1 million cash better off.

Singer forecasts revenue of £18.6 million for the year to January, from which investors can expected rough £1.1 million of adjusted EBITDA. For the financial year to January 2015 the company is forecast to produce £24.2 million revenue and £2.8 million EBITDA.

Seem to have hit the bottom and now rebounding.

The recovery continues
