The investment Case for EML Feb 2024:

tamim_australia_all_cap_february_2024.pdf

EML Payments (ASX: EML) continued to progress with its simplification strategy and delivered a strong result benefitting from rising interest rates. Now that management has put the Irish subsidiary into liquidation, more granularity was provided to the remaining core business. Management guided to improving Ebitda margins towards 30% by FY26 through further cost cutting and new business growth. In addition the removal of the growth cap from the UK PFS subsidiary is imminent, and so is the sale of Sentenial being pursued. A new CEO will be appointed shortly and more likely will be Australian based.

We estimate the core biz will deliver $50M of Ebitda next year with strong cashflows and growing to $60M in FY26 with $30M of free cashflows.

We value the stock around $1.50 with a high likelihood of a takeover once the above catalysts are finalised. We believe a takeover of EML in time, will be closer to $2.00

thesis notions.

EML is trading at around 40 times earnings, but we think that will fall as structural growth once again takes centre stage. 

Boasting a capital-light business model, sticky customers, rapid organic growth rates, $140m in cash and a share price 40% below all-time highs, we think we’re being well rewarded for the risks. We'd note the stock's 'high' risk ratings and our 3% recommended maximum weighting, but we're going with SPECULATIVE BUY.
