StatPro Group is a research client of Edison Investment Research Limited

StatPro is acquiring UBS Delta, a portfolio analysis and risk management system, from UBS for €13.05m. The acquisition significantly scales up StatPro’s business, boosting FY18 revenues by c 33% and EBITDA by c 40%. While the deal looks very cheap at less than 0.8x revenues, compared with 7.3x sales that FactSet recently paid for BISAM, a key competitor of StatPro, UBS Delta’s technology needs to be refreshed and to achieve this, its functionality, along with the customer base, will be transitioned to StatPro Revolution. If StatPro can successfully integrate UBS Delta, we believe there is strong upside potential in the shares, given the significant valuation disparity with its US-listed financial software peers.

Acquisition of UBS Delta

UBS Delta, launched in 1998, is an early-generation private cloud application used by front offices of institutional investors for portfolio management and marketing purposes. Delta has gained a strong reputation in the fixed income markets and has c 115 clients including insurance companies, asset managers and pension funds, mainly in the UK, France and Switzerland. StatPro’s traditional market is the middle office, although its Revolution cloud service has extended the market to the front office as well. As its technology is nearly 20 years old, UBS Delta is in need of a major upgrade and StatPro offers an attractive route to upgrade by transitioning the functionality to its own cloud platform. Until StatPro has fully integrated UBS Delta’s functionality in Revolution, UBS will continue to operate and support UBS Delta for its clients. However, the revenues and costs will accrue to StatPro.

Forecasts: EPS jumps 22% in FY17 and 40% in FY18

We have added UBS Delta into our forecasts for seven-and-a-half months in FY17. This boosts revenues by 22% in FY17, while FY18 revenues rise by 33%. Adjusted EBITDA rises by 20% and 40% in the respective years, and adjusted EPS goes up by 22% and by 40%. We forecast the group to end FY17 with net debt of £19.7m (previous forecast was £12.8m) falling to £17.7m a year later (previously £12.1m). There are also £3.6m of outstanding Delta acquisition liabilities, payable in FY19 and FY20.

Valuation: Highly scalable cloud computing upside

StatPro’s stock trades on c 21x our FY17e EPS, which falls to c 15x in FY18e. Alternatively, the shares trade on c 1.6x FY18e EV/sales, around one-third of the level of StatPro’s larger US peers and US-based pure SaaS companies. Our DCF model, when incorporating 10-year organic revenue growth of 4.4%, a terminal growth of 2%, a long-term margin target of 24.5% and a WACC of 9%, would value the shares at 212p, more than double the current share price.

Acquisition of UBS Delta

StatPro is acquiring UBS Delta from UBS for €13.05m in cash, spread over three years. The deal is expected to complete in mid-May. StatPro will pay an initial €8.70m on closing, with further payments of €1.74m in two years and €2.61m in three years. The attractive price reflects the fact that the software needs to be upgraded. It also reflects the fact that its owner is not a software house, and that software applications are increasingly difficult for non-software businesses to maintain.

UBS Delta is a portfolio analysis and risk management system that enables clients to measure risk and performance across fixed income, commodities, equities and FX. UBS Delta is used by front offices of institutional investors for portfolio management and marketing purposes, while StatPro’s traditional market is the middle office, largely used for internal management functions and client reporting. UBS Delta’s roots are in fixed income and consequently it has established a special focus on fixed income attribution and risk. It is reputed to have the best fixed income analytics in the European market. UBS Delta has 115 clients of which c 100 are new to StatPro, including UBS. This will take StatPro’s total client base to c 550, including 105 of the world’s top 500 asset managers.

UBS Delta is an early generation private cloud application, developed on a Sybase platform. As such, it is multi-tenant, meaning that all its users share the same instance of the software, in the same way that we use Google, for example. However, it is nearly 20 years old and therefore needs either a major upgrade or to be transitioned to a new platform. StatPro is ideally positioned to offer the latter option, as it has its own multi-tenant cloud platform, StatPro Revolution, to which UBS Delta can be transitioned. UBS Delta has 24 full-time employees, including 4-5 in sales, and c 30 contractors.

UBS Delta’s functionality will be incorporated into StatPro Revolution, with the help of UBS Delta’s developers, and its customer base transitioned to Revolution within three to five years. Once transitioned, the customers will benefit from a modern cloud platform and greater functionality. StatPro Revolution will benefit from the additional fixed income and risk functionality that can be offered to its existing clients, creating cross-selling opportunities. In the meantime, UBS Delta’s clients will continue to be offered support for five years.

UBS Delta has c £14.5m in recurring revenues, growing gently. StatPro expects these revenues to remain broadly unchanged in FY17 and this will take StatPro’s annualised recurring revenue run-rate to c £53m. StatPro says adjusted EBITDA from the acquisition is expected to be £2.0m to £2.5m in the first 12 months of ownership. UBS Delta’s revenue model is based on number of users, and this will transition to StatPro’s model, which is based on number of portfolios.

Competing solutions include Barclays Point (legacy of Lehman Brothers and recently sold to Bloomberg), Yield Book (owned by Citi) and BondEdge (acquired by ICE when it purchased Interactive Data).

In order to finance the deal, StatPro has increased its debt facilities with Wells Fargo by £15.9m to £41.1m, of which £33.6m is committed.

Forecasts: FY18 sales up 33%, EBITDA & EPS up 40%

We have incorporated UBS Delta into our forecasts, conservatively assuming a revenue run-rate of £14m in FY17 (£8.8m in seven-and-a-half months), rising by 2% in FY18. We have maintained all our operating assumptions for the rest of the business. Our adjusted EBITDA forecasts rise by £1.2m in FY17 (ie, £1.9m annualised) and by £2.5m in FY18. We note that there will not be any additional costs in transitioning UBS Delta to StatPro Revolution, as UBS Delta’s developers will shift their focus on to this task, and once the process is completed, the group R&D in relation to sales is expected to decline.

We have also significantly increased the interest charge in both years, to reflect the higher debt levels, and we have eased our tax charge forecasts from 23% to 21%, given the favourable corporate tax environment. In all, group revenue rises by 22% in FY17 and by 33% in FY18, while adjusted EBITDA rises by 20% and 40% in the respective years, and adjusted EPS goes up by 22% and 40% respectively. We now forecast the group to end FY17 with net debt of £19.7m (previous forecast was £12.8m) falling to £17.7m a year later (previously £12.1m). There are also £3.6m of outstanding UBS Delta acquisition liabilities, payable in FY19 and FY20.

We have assumed that costs relating to the transaction are included in the adjusted EBITDA. We have also ignored amortisation of acquired intangibles, which have no impact on cash flows.

Peer analysis

StatPro’s stock trades on c 21x our FY17e EPS, which falls to c 15x in FY18e, putting it at a significant discount to its UK-quoted peers. Alternatively, the shares trade on c 1.6x FY18e EV/sales, less than one-third of the level of StatPro’s larger US peers, which mostly trade above 5x EV/sales, and less than one-third of the level of US-based pure SaaS companies. Additionally, the P/E ratio discounts have increased, despite the share price gains, given the acquisition and falling tax assumptions. We are confident that StatPro will show healthy margin progression as its ARR book continues to grow, which will lead to sharply declining P/S ratios.
