Adjustment of NAV due to market conditions; Still very high upside
potential; Very promising investment Apotekamo executes financing round and
significantly increases valuation; Target price SEK 9.16 / EUR 0.85;
Rating: Buy
 
In the first half of 2022, consolidated sales increased by 489.6% to SEK
101.46 million (PY: SEK 17.21 million). With its own work capitalized and
the low level of other operating income, total operating performance
increased by 348.7% to SEK 117.19 million (PY: SEK 26.12 million).
 
However, EBITDA decreased to SEK -11.46 million (PY: SEK -0.66 million) due
to the Talnox Group AB acquisition. This investment contributes a high
share of sales, but has comparatively lower margins. In total, operating
costs increased to SEK 128.65 million (PY: SEK 26.78 million).
Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses from the reverse
acquisition reduced EBIT to SEK -54.24 million (PY: SEK -3.53 million).
Write-downs on investments amounting to SEK -6.2 million (PY: 0) were also
made. As a result, net income amounted to SEK -62.87 million (previous
year: SEK -3.55 million) and was, thus, significantly below the previous
year's figure.
 
The second quarter, viewed in isolation, already shows a significantly more
positive picture again with a positive EBITDA. In the second quarter, total
operating performance increased to 349.8% to SEK 54.6 million (PY: SEK
12.14 million) and EBITDA increased to SEK 0.55 million (PY: SEK -2.77
million). On the one hand, the improvement in earnings is due to the fact
that it is no longer necessary to consolidate the investments in Bruger,
Workamo, Apotekamo and D1: these investments are growing strongly, but also
require high marketing budgets. On the other hand, EPTI Services achieved
significant improvements in earnings.
 
According to our revaluation of EPTI Services and Apotekamo as well as the
warrants, we have determined a positive valuation discrepancy (hidden
reserves) amounting to SEK 226.67 million. The valuation discrepancy, in
addition to the NAV of SEK 726 million determined after June 30, 2022,
results in a total NAV, according to the GBC approach, of SEK 952.67
million.
 
This corresponds to a NAV per share of SEK 9.16 or EUR 0.85.
 
At the current price of EUR 0.23 (Xetra, 02.09.22 17:38), this means a
significant upside potential of 269.6% and therefore we assign a BUY
rating.
 
Even if we only consider the NAV on a K3 basis of SEK 726 million, this
would result in a NAV per share of SEK 6.98, or EUR 0.65 per share, which
also represents an enormous upside potential to the current share price of
182.6%.
