Posted on Friday, May 13 at 3:20pm in Blog, VelocityEHS News by skenemore
As mobile access to EHS applications gains ground across industries, the call for both online and offline access to critical information — like chemical safety data sheets — is growing louder among those who work in areas that lack Internet connectivity or need faster, more direct access to their EHS tools.
Analysis by Verdantix – a leading independent research and consulting firm with expertise in EHS, energy, and sustainability markets – suggests that offline access is now a must have for today’s safety professionals, and that EHS software vendors will struggle to compete in the marketplace if they continue to only provide basic mobile apps. Safety professionals want solutions that change the game by offering a wider range of safety options for areas where traditional systems are unable to reach.
Vedantix recognizes the VelocityEHS eBinder app as one of these game changers. The firm applauded the eBinder app’s versatility in a recent blog post, titled “VelocityEHS Hits the Nail on the Head With its Mobile Solution to Improve Chemical Management with Offline SDS Access.”
The eBinder app enables users of the company’s MSDSonline brand chemical management solution to search and save safety data sheets to their mobile devices, making the information accessible both online and off. The app streamlines the ability of all employees, including those working in remote areas with limited or no Internet connectivity, to consult safe handling and storage requirements, identify necessary protective equipment, and have instant access to emergency procedures that keep them safe while on the job.
The VelocityEHS eBinder app is available for iPad and iPhone (iOS 8 and later) and Android smartphones and tablets (4.4 and later).
To provide a little more color, the vast majority of our customer renewals occurred late in the third quarter or in the fourth quarter and we worked hard to improve the cash collection timeframe and as a result, most cash collections now occur in the fourth quarter which negatively impacts the first quarter.
We expected operating cash flow for the last nine months of 2016 will be reflecting these renewal related cash collections. We ended the quarter at over $53 million of cash reflecting the operating cash flow as well as capital deployed to increase our ownership in the businesses.

In Bolt wird dagegen massiv investiert - Erfolge sind da, aber riskant ist das schon. und m.E. nur vor dem Hintergrund der drei anderen sehr viel konservativeren und größeren Beteiligungen aus meiner Sicht tolerierbar.
Hauptursachen für den negativen operativen Cash Flow in der US-Version in Q1/16 waren eine Zunahme der Forderungen gegenüber Kunden Accounts receivable, net (8,659) und eine Abbau von Lieferantenverbindlichkeiten Accounts payable (2,452), die sich zusammen auf 11,111 ;Millionen Dollar beliefen. In der Deutschland gebräuchlichen Definition des Cash Flows aus der betrieblichen Tätigkeit wären diese 11,111 Millionen übrigens nicht in die Berechnung eingeflosssen, sondern dem Finanzierungssektor zugeordnet worden.

Actua
Cash flows from operations was a use of $(13.2) million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to a use of $(4.4) million for the first quarter of 2015. This was in line with our expectations. As the cycle of our cash collections activity has shifted to the fourth quarter, we expect significant positive cash flows for the last nine months of the year that will result in annual non-GAAP cash flows from operations within our guidance range.

We are off to a solid start for the year. We are especially pleased with the bookings momentum we saw during the quarter, particularly at Bolt. This momentum reaffirms the value we deliver to our customers and positions us well for future revenue and earnings growth.

"2016 Guidance
Actua continues to expect (1) annual GAAP revenue in the range of between $155.0 million and $160.0 million, representing growth in the range of between 16% and 20% compared to 2015, (2) positive annual non-GAAP cash flows from operations in the range of between $3.0 million and $8.0 Million

Das heißt nichts anderes - und wie man meinen letzten Postings entnehmen kann, wurde das auch noch einmal ausdrücklich in mehreren Äußerungen vom Actua-Management betont -, dass in den nächsten neun Monaten bei einem Defizit von 13,2 Millionen in Q1 ein positiver Cash Flow aus betrieblicher Tätigkeit zwischen 15 und 20 Millionen anfallen wird.
Aber wo große Chancen sind, ist man nun einmal nicht allein.

He said that when disruptors come in to a market, it can take time for a new way of doing things to take hold, offering Uber as an example. “They didn’t come in and just take over the taxi industry,” he said, adding that it took years for Uber to overcome laws and regulations and catch on.
He said he believes it’s just a matter of time before Google returns. “They’ll still be involved in this industry in one form or another,” Weismantel said.

Through the first quarter of 2016:
� Bolt's revenue grew approximately 10% in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2016 from the corresponding prior year period. During the
three months ended March 31, 2016, Bolt served approximately 2,065
independent commercial and personal property and casualty insurance
agent customers, seven large commercial and personal property and
casualty insurance carrier-agency customers, six customers who are
non-traditional sellers of commercial and personal property and casualty
insurance products and one state commercial and personal property and
casualty insurance exchange customer;
� FolioDynamix's revenue was essentially flat from the corresponding
three-month prior year period, and, during the three months ended March
31, 2016, it served over 91 direct financial services organizations,
such as brokerage firms, banks (trust and retail), large registered
investment advisors ("RIAs") and RIA networks and other fee-based
managed account providers;
� GovDelivery's revenue grew approximately 20% from the corresponding
three-month prior year period, and, during the three months ended March
31, 2016, it served over 1,200 government entities, agencies and
organizations at the national, state and local levels in both the United
States and Europe; and
� VelocityEHS' revenue grew approximately 23% from the corresponding
three-month prior year period. During the three months ended March 31,
2016, VelocityEHS served around 12,000 customers; approximately 75% are
platform customers, consisting of large and mid-market North American
businesses in a wide variety of industries.
With a multiple of the revenues of 2.1 is Actua extreme undervalued
The market-cap of today is about 345 Million. The guidance for the revenues in 2016 was 160 million.
The Competitor ServceNow has near the 5-fold multiple with about 10-times-revenues.
Competitor Workday has with 11-times-revenues the 5-fold multiple.
"Turning to Slide 9, VelocityEHS grew revenues 23% in Q1 2016 over the prior year period. Service revenue was lower than a year ago, as we push more customers towards preconfigured implementations which ultimately lowers cost and timeframe and expands Velocity’s SaaS recurring revenue.
The company grew recurring SaaS bookings 27% in the quarter compared to Q1 2015 and added almost 700 customers bringing the total customer count to approximately 12,000. Velocity continues to add features to its core products that enable it to sell more functionality to both new and existing customers. And as a result their pipeline growth continues to accelerate quarter after quarter with strong representation from both mid-market and large global 1000 organizations. Additionally, we are seeing early but strong interest in Velocity’s new ergonomics offerings."

Velocity is ready for a 400 million-IPO in 2017 or a sale in 2016 or 2017
I believe, that revenues between 75 million and 80 million in 2017 are realistic numbers (inclue some small aquisitions like ever in the past). That are by 5-times-revenues, which are lower than by competitors, a valuation between 375 and 400 Million - about equal the complete market-cap of Actua today. Revenues of VelocityEHS in 2016 will reach about 60 million
"Revenue has increased about 35 percent annually in recent years and was more than $32 million in 2014, CEO Trout said. He declined to provide estimated 2015 revenue."

But we know the growth-rate of revenues of 36% in 2015 from last presentation – and the result will be revenues of about 43.5 million in 2015. And by the same growth-rate in 2017 = 59.1 Million without any additional aquisitions.
The Year 2015 for VelocityEHS (from last presentation)
Environmental, Health and Safety compliance platform that enables organizations to meet stringent and costly OSHA requirements
Important Metrics:*
• Revenue Growth: 36% for 2015 compared to 2014
• New Signings: Added 2,200 customers; More than 11,500 companies, representing over half of the Fortune 1000: Protecting more than 8 million employees in U.S. and Canada
• Pipeline: Growth is slightly ahead of revenue growth and is skewed towards large platform customers; seeing significant pipeline momentum across the board, with cross-sell team seeing increased activity
• TAM: $3 billion
• Competitive Moat: Database of more than 9 million material safety data sheets is a comprehensive web-based library that ensures 100% compliance for companies and continues to expand as new customers come onto the platform
• Operating cash flow positive for 2015
That’s likely to inspire a consolidation wave in the months to come, as specialists seek scale and as software giants including IBM ( IBM 0.25% ) , Oracle ( ORCL 0.45% ) , and SAP ( SAP 2.18% ) reconsider their own cloud-relevant pitches for specific industries.
Watch this space
Market-cap of today are only 307.82M - market-cap only 90% of the book-value.
Im Verhältnis zur heutigen Marktkapitalisierung von 494 Millionen sind das 943% - 10,5 mal soviel wie bei Acuta.
Selbst wenn derartige Vergleiche problematisch sind, ist eine derartige Diskrepanz krass und könnte m.E. jemanden dazu anregen, bei Hyopoport aus- und bei Actua einzusteigen.
Ein richtiges Schnäppchen, an deinen Ansprüchen gemessen.
