EMIS Group — Strong FY21 drives upgrades

EMIS’s FY21 revenue and operating profit came in ahead of the top end of consensus, reflecting a year of growth for EMIS Enterprise and more normal trading in EMIS Health after a year helping the NHS to deal with the pandemic. Post year-end, the company bolstered its analytics business with the acquisition of GP practice business intelligence tools provider Edenbridge Healthcare for £4m. We have upgraded our normalised diluted EPS forecasts by 2% in FY21 and 1% in FY22 and FY23.

FY21 results ahead; small analytics acquisition

EMIS reported that FY21 revenue and adjusted operating profit were ahead of FY20 and slightly above the top end of consensus (which stood at £166.1m and £41.6m respectively). Business in the EMIS Health division normalised in the year compared to COVID-focused trading in FY20. The EMIS Enterprise business continues to drive double-digit growth in patient-facing services, analytics and pharmacy. Post year-end, the company acquired business intelligence tools software provider, Edenbridge Healthcare, for £4m in cash (with a further £6m in contingent consideration). Edenbridge's software provides real-time insight to support GP practice access, efficiency, transformation and workforce planning, and will join EMIS Enterprise’s analytics business. EMIS closed the year with net cash of £64m and secured a £60m replacement three-year revolving credit facility, highlighting the availability of cash for further M&A.

Modest EPS upgrades

We have revised our forecasts to reflect stronger than expected FY21 performance and the Edenbridge acquisition. We assume that the high year-end net cash balance (£9m higher than our forecast) resulted from good working capital management. Our normalised diluted EPS forecasts increase by 2.1% in FY21, 1.2% in FY22 and 1.3% in FY23.

Valuation: Earnings growth to drive upside

Compared to a global group of healthcare software peers, EMIS trades at a discount on all profitability valuation metrics. EMIS generates significantly higher operating profit margins but, with slightly slower revenue growth, generates lower earnings growth. Its dividend yield is significantly ahead of the group. Key to closing the discount will be evidence that revenue growth is returning to the company’s medium-term goal of mid- to high single digits, in turn driving stronger earnings growth. We note that EMIS has good visibility (recurring revenue was 79% in H121) and a strong balance sheet with no debt.
