Expecting top- and bottom-line growth in 2023
On our largely unchanged estimates, we expect revenue growth of 6.4% in 2023, driven by the weak comparison H1 and a continued modest growth outlook. Innofactor has not noted any demand issues but the prevailing economic uncertainty in our view is nonetheless not to be disregarded. We expect EBITDA to improve to EUR 9.7m (2022: 7.8m) supported by the improved operational efficiency after H1/22 challenges, topline growth and improved sales mix, with the SaaS+license share of revenue up 3%p by year-end. The deduced revenue in Q4 can still materialize in 2023, providing some further potential improvement to figures.
BUY with a target price of EUR 1.5 (1.25)
Current valuation levels in our view price in a flat earnings development at best, with implied 2022 P/E of ~13x, still clearly below peer 2022 and 2023e multiples. Some caution is however warranted, with Innofactor now having posted only two solid quarters after challenges before that. We adjust our TP to EUR 1.5 (1.25) and retain our BUY-rating.
