Claranova — Growth targets maintained

Claranova reported Q323 revenue of €91m, which was 2% higher y-o-y on a constant currency organic basis. PlanetArt revenue was lower than expected due to a focus on profitability versus growth, while Avanquest and myDevices both grew at double-digit rates in the quarter. Management has maintained its FY23 guidance for revenue and EBITDA growth. We have revised down our revenue forecasts to reflect lower growth for PlanetArt but we maintain our EBITDA forecasts for FY23 and FY24.

Q323 underlying revenue growth 2% y-o-y

Claranova reported Q323 revenue of €91m, flat y-o-y and up 2% on a constant currency (cc) organic basis. For the nine months to 31 March (9M23), Claranova reported revenue of €405m, up 9% on a reported basis and 2% on a cc organic basis. For Q323, PlanetArt revenue of €60m was down 6% y-o-y or 2% on a cc basis. The company noted that the focus in the quarter was on profitability rather than growth, including stabilising customer acquisition costs and focusing on higher margin products. Avanquest Q3 revenue of €29m was 13% higher y-o-y or 8% on a cc organic basis, with acquisitions contributing 6% of growth. The company noted that lower margin non-core revenues had declined to 17% of divisional revenue by the end of Q323. myDevices revenue of €2m was 53% higher y-o-y or 44% cc with annual recurring revenue of €3m at quarter-end (+37% y-o-y cc).

Reducing revenue but maintaining EBITDA forecasts

The company reiterated its guidance for revenue growth of 10% and EBITDA growth of 25–30% for FY23. We have revised down our revenue forecasts for PlanetArt to reflect the focus on profitable growth but overall we maintain our EBITDA forecasts for FY23 and FY24.

Valuation: Sustained profitable growth is key

Reflecting the different business models for each division, we continue to use a sum-of-the-parts approach to valuation. Using EV/sales multiples that reflect our views on divisional growth and profitability and are conservative compared to the peer group averages, we maintain our €7.4 per share valuation. In our view, consistent growth in revenues and margins towards Claranova’s FY24 targets will be fundamental to reducing the discount to peers. In the near term, sustained growth in PlanetArt (while balancing profitability) will be the key trigger.
