At a first look I'm happy with this update due to the huge investment in tutorfly disguising that profit figure, though I'm disappointed at the franchise fee revenue figures. Stripping out tutorfly I get an adjusted NPAT of ~ 2.55m.

Based on the previous update, I had thought the kip results were in line with my base case assumptions (I've reincluded these below - wondering if I must have deleted them or something). I'm having a rethink of whether I should be on my base case at the moment.


  • Most metrics have improved on last year generally. 
  • The revenue figures for the franchise fees were not stronger than the first half, which I was hoping for. The increase in revenue from the first half was mostly to do with the higher corporate incoming (inc. tutorfly) in the second half. 
  • Tutorfly revenue of 1.2million, with loss of 0.9 million, BUT 2.6 million contracted work secured in FY24. This is nice, but I wouldn’t necessarily expect it to show next half due to American holidays. 
  • Stripping tutorfly out, I have an NPAT of 2.55 mil. This has Kip on an adjusted PE of ~ 12.2. 
  • Recovery in UK pound may be a hidden hand helping. 1.71 aud per UKP compared to 1.98 now. My guesstimate is around a 600k increase in revenue - theoretically this should also impact UK expenses.  
  • Software depreciation continues to be high. Effectively a cost. 
  • New sales of franchises remain slow.
  • Now 29 corporate centres. This is up from 24 Corporate centres last year. (With ~ 20% increase in total corporate centre revenue exc. tutorfly by my count)
  • Decreased marketing spend of -2967 compared to -3543 this year might have increased profit.
  • Franchise support (merchandise?) has increased a lot. This might indicate investment.  




OLD NOTES

Base Case assumptions:

Starting 1.8m annual npat stripping tutorfly out.

Growth of 4% compounded + 200k per year (Compounded after added)


This generates a value of 42m after 30 years.


Bull Case assumptions:

Starting 2.8m annual npat stripping tutorfly out.  

6% growth + 400k fixed growth (corporate) per year


This generates a value of 73m after 30 years.


Taking the average of these two results we get a value of 115/2 = 57.5m


There are 56 519 331 shares on issue, so this gives a target price of $1.017

@Hackofalltrades You are correct the "Franchise support costs" (previously "Merchandising costs") is the line item that raises the biggest questions. Here is the cost line from the last few reports: FY19 $809k, FY20 $935k, FY21 $719k, FY22 $639k and now FY23 $1.7m.

That is a very large jump, in particular against a trend downwards over the last few years. Will try and get an answer to this, but if that increase is a one off it lends more confidence to the idea we should see good profit growth into FY24 and beyond.
