Hansen Technologies Limited

Hansen Technologies Limited (ASX:HSN), an information technology group saw its stock losing over 26.7% in the last three months on lower than expected FY18 outlook. The group forecasts operating revenue to be over $230 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of over $58 million, giving an EBITDA margin of around 25%. The earlier estimate of operating revenue in the second half to be slightly below the $118.4 million in 1H18, and the EBITDA margin for the full FY18 to be around the mid-point of target range of 25%-30% now looks a bit different from results expected.

Pressure in EBITDA margin is on the back of the license fee which would have a restructuring charge of over $0.8 million within the Enoro operation – whilst Enoro has exceeded expectations since its acquisition in July 2017. Moreover, for fiscal year of 2019, the total revenue is expected to be slightly below FY18 due to termination of the call center contract within the Solutions business leading to a loss of over $1.8 million of revenue in FY19 against FY18. The total revenue in FY19 is expected to be subdued, while the expense base is expected to remain consistent with FY18 as the group continues to invest in their global platform to support expected future growth. It is to be seen that how the group’s long-term investments can deliver potential benefits. HSN stock fall placed them at lower levels while the stock has 1.85% dividend yield.
