Pinned valuation:
Updating my pricing on this one following the recent FY update.
Key updates from the slide deck and investor call.
The call on this one was quite informative as Jumbo have provided some good information. Learning from their recent acquisitions and market growth, they are looking to focus more on B2Customer space as this allows them to better scale with the solutions they have.
Saturday lotto price increases will be coming in May 2025, and JIN are looking to increase their price over and above by 5c, which is expected to deliver contribute an additional revenue of $300k per annum. This is likely to be the same when Powerball changes in 2026.
Once the pricing is updated, the premium above the regular TLC page is now moving to approximately 20%, which is partially offset by the daily winners giveaways. Will be monitoring the active user count, especially with the current cost of living crunch.
Marketing is being targeted to bigger jackpots, and focussed the new cost per lead of 29.49 also incorporates the cost of returning customers coming back to buy tickets which aren't classified as a new lead, and the significant reduction in new players (down to 81,200)
Overall
The sell down of this one hurts but I'm confident with the mean reversion nature of lottery retailing + price increases will get the NPAT fairly close to where things were last year.
Hoping that they can find some good acquisition opportunities in the B2C space, which will help them to increase geographical reach.
They are continuing to stand up new customers in the SAAS space, and with the renewals of Endeavour and Deaf lottery my thesis of growth opportunities in this space has not yet been busted.
Will continue to monitor the free cash flow situation as the continued trend could ultimately lead to more dilution/debt for any future acquisitions.
If the continued jackpots continue, I think this one sits somewhere between the $12 and $13.5 range. The expected PE is between 17- 19 for now which is well below the historic average of mid-high 20s and reflects the current growth opportunities.

After my review yesterday I thought I would put the numbers through the McNiven formula and revisit some of my old notes on the company to see where this one landed.
Doing some reverse engineering and using NPAT circa $40m, expected dividend of 26c for final year and expected ROE of 33% (which is at the lower end of the analyst target range of 34-37) the current share price equates to a return of 9.4% and further justified my price target around $12.50 for JIN.
