SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner - Positioning the business for growth

2017 has been a year of major change for SNP, including two major acquisitions, debt and equity capital raisings, corporate restructurings, new product offerings launched and new training centres established. This has involved significant cost in both financial terms and management time. There has been €4m in one off costs, and management expects to report break-even at the EBIT level in FY17. Excluding one-off costs, the FY17 EBIT margin is expected be c 3.3%. Following the acquisitions, the group now has a presence in most major regions globally. Hence, SNP now looks better positioned to deliver on its goal to be the global leader in software-based transformation projects. Following the recent correction, we believe the shares look increasingly attractive on c 18x our FY19e EPS.
