Commissioned Research: New strategy, new segments, new targets
The Q4 results fell short of our expectations, with net sales of SEK 27.5m (7% below our estimate) and EBITDA of SEK 4.1m versus our estimate of SEK 6.3m. Speqta announced ambitious new targets, however, aiming for net sales of SEK 600m in 2022 (with organic growth exceeding a 20% CAGR) and an EBITDA margin above 20%. We argue that these targets are reachable and that the margin target is cautious – we model an EBITDA margin of 25.7% for 2020-22, reaching 24.4% as early as 2020. On net sales, we believe the company needs to add SEK ~200m through M&A to reach its target, which is possible given its strong cash generation. We make major estimate revisions to reflect a change of analyst and new targets. Our updated 50/50 DCF- and peer-based fair value range stands at SEK 6.9-14.5.

Commissioned Research: Speqta doubles sales through acquisition
Speqta is expanding its reach into the finance value chain through the acquisition of Finnish Rahalaitos, a market leading online loan broker, and doubling its revenues at the same time. The acquisition involves an upfront payment of 4.5x EV/EBIT and an additional earn-out of up to 3.5x EV/EBIT. It is strategically positive and confirms our view on Speqta. We reiterate our fair value range of SEK 6.3-16.5 per fully diluted share.

Commissioned Research: Speqta's best Q3 yet
Speqta posted sales growth of 98%, 12 pp ahead of our estimates, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17%, 2 pp better than anticipated. Organic growth accelerated to 72% y/y, mainly thanks to the well-performing shopping segment, and Shopello in particular. We slightly upgrade our sales estimates and fair equity value range to SEK 6.3-16.5 per share to reflect the somewhat improved outlook.

Commissioned Research: Magnetising customers through affiliation
Speqta is a leading Nordic affiliate marketing platform with more than 2,680 connected stores and operations in 17 European countries. It operates in a market with strong underlying growth, and especially since it became a Google premium CSS partner in 2018, we see several more years of organic market share gains and margin expansion ahead for the company. Using a combination of DCF and relative valuation, we estimate a fair equity range of SEK 6.5-16.1 per share. Our valuation does not include any acquisitions that could lift this range higher.
