Pinned straw:
Just putting some thoughts together on EVS's results now, but just wanted to note @RhinoInvestor that the goodwill is largely about the acquisition of EMS in early 2020. Right before COVID struck -- talk about bad timing!
It was really a reverse takeover, and frankly I wish they stayed focused on their Industrial solution. Covid messed things up a lot with the aviation segment, and things look to be on the up now, but not sure if it wasn't a giant distraction and pretty sure shareholders would have been better off without it. Maybe history will prove otherwise in the fullness of time.,
They paid $70 for EMS and issued 350m new shares to help fund it. Plus there were options (although cant remember if they were ever executed. the strike price was 20c)
Anyway, from their FY20 results preso:
EMS recorded $47m in revenue for 2019 calendar year of which $35m was in annuity revenues. So basically, no growth recurring revenue since then, and total trading revenue is down about 20%. I'll ask Jason more about this when we catch up with him on Thursday.
