Sale of stake in HawkEye 360 for $65.6m

Following HawkEye 360’s recent Series B funding round with Airbus Industries and Esri (an international supplier of mapping software), Allied Minds has announced the sale of its stake in HawkEye 360 for $65.6m to Advance Publications, a US family office. Subject to shareholder approval, the deal is expected to complete in Q419. Gross cash proceeds from the disposal total $65.6m (21.9pps). Stripping out Allied Minds’ $5m participation in the Series B round (valued as cash), the deal represents a 5.6x ROI on Allied Minds’ investment and an IRR of 96%. Irrevocable undertakings or letters of support in favour of the transaction have been received from shareholders representing 58% of Allied Minds issued share capital.

Use of proceeds

Allied Minds intends to initially return $32.8m (11pps), 50% of the gross proceeds, to shareholders via a special dividend, share buyback or other method subject to market conditions. The remaining $32.8m should allow Allied Minds to continue to participate in future fund raisings within its existing technology portfolio to maximise long-term shareholder value.

Valuation: 35–38% discount to a de-risked NAV

This proposed disposal goes some way to validate Allied Minds’ strategy. Over the summer, Allied Minds delivered additional validation for two of its three principal portfolio companies and has now (subject to the shareholder vote) effected a material return of capital to shareholders. Allied Minds shares trade at a 35% discount to our estimated FY18 NAV of 92.7p or at a 38% discount to our estimated adjusted NAV of 96.3p (adjusted for HawkEye 360, Federated Wireless and cash).

Valuation: Material 35–38% discount to a de-risked NAV

Although Advance Publications’ offer is struck at a discount to the valuation of the latest funding round for HawkEye 360, the investment still promises very good returns for Allied Minds

After stripping out Allied Minds’ $5m participation in the Series B round (valued as cash), the gross cash proceeds from the disposal total $65.6m (21.9pps), representing a 5.6x ROI on Allied Minds’ investment and an IRR of 96% over the four-year investment life.

Based on the fully diluted valuation, the offer has been made at a c 13% discount to the valuation of the Series B round, of which only the first $35m tranche (of a $70m total round in total) has closed.

The proposed disposal goes some way to validate Allied Minds’ strategy. Over the summer, Allied Minds delivered additional validation for two of its three principal portfolio companies and has now (subject to the shareholder vote) effected a material return of capital to shareholders.

Based on our calculations, Allied Minds shares trade at a 35% discount to our estimated FY18 NAV of 92.7p or a 38% discount to our estimated adjusted NAV of 96.3p (adjusted for the anticipated cash proceeds from HawkEye 360, taking the valuation from the latest 4 September 2019 funding round for Federated Wireless, the cash invested in the HawkEye 360 and Federated Wireless funding rounds, as well as a nominal cash burn of $5m for H119).
