NTG Clarity Networks Offers Great Value as Company is Being Overlooked
By Paul Piotrowski
August 7, 2015

NTG Clarity Networks Inc. ($TSXV:NCI) is a global provider of telecom and IT infrastructure. The company is based in Canada and has operations in the United States, the Middle East and North Africa. NTG Clarity has seen explosive growth in recent years, tripling its top-line since 2012. The solid top line growth is largely due to NTG acquiring contracts with new customers, broadening contracts with existing customers, and their geographic expansion. I believe NTG presents a compelling investment due to:

~ Investing in geographical expansion that will drive double digit top line growth rate
~ Mitigating concentration risk โ€“ currently the companyโ€™s biggest concern
~ Trading at less than 5x annualized 2015 P/E
~ Increasingly More Equitable Product Mix
~ NTG Clarityโ€™s network, telecom, and IT business is built around two main offerings: software products, and professional services.

Software Products
NTGโ€™s core product is NTS, an on-premise Operations Support System (OSS)/Business Support System (BSS) solution. Targeting large utility companies, telecom service providers, and the oil/resource industry, NTS provides a cost-effective solution for companies looking to improve their network and service infrastructure. Given that nearly half of the BSS/OSS market is controlled by big players like IBM and Oracle, NTG is smart to focus its NTS product on markets where the large players do not have a significant advantage (the Middle East and North Africa).
NTG has also recognized that software products have consistently yielded stronger margins than their other revenue streams (60% compared to the 35% gross margins that professional services yield). As a result, the company has focused on having a more equitable revenue mix. In Q1 2015, software products made up 47% of total revenues, compared to 21% in fiscal 2014. This shift has been a driver behind NTGโ€™s improving operating income and will continue to be a tailwind to margins as the company expects the split to be 50/50 moving forward.

Professional Services
In addition to NTS, NTG Clarity offers professional consulting services. These services assist customers with the integration of NTS and provide quality insights that eliminate the customerโ€™s need for in-house engineers. While the obvious costs associated with professional services yield relatively low margins, they remain an important revenue stream for the company, due to their recurring nature. NTS may be the key driver behind NTGโ€™s top line, however, professional services provide a necessary and reliable source of recurring revenue.

NTG Clarity continued its impressive sales growth, posting Q1 2015 revenues of $5M (up 71% from the same period in 2014). Keep in mind, Q1 is typically the companyโ€™s weakest quarter due to timing of new contracts, so posting a run rate of $20M on their weakest quarter indicates that 2015 will probably exceed managementโ€™s revenue guidance of $20M. The companyโ€™s focus on improving margins along with strong top-line performance is also expected to have a positive effect on earnings with a target 20% EBIDTA margin. Annualized, Q1 EPS (above right) is projected at $0.08 which would yield over 150% of YoY growth.

NTGโ€™s geographic expansion into Qatar and Kuwait is the reason for negative FCF in 2014. As the company integrates its investment, CAPEX will continue declining and the company will have more free cash to fund short-term sales efforts and potential future growth strategies. Investing in these high ROI activities will create meaningful shareholder value in the medium term due to the added top line growth and greater client diversity.

This strategic move into new territories will support the companyโ€™s long term goals of diversifying the client base, which is currently a concern for investors. While NTG does depend on a few large customers (in 2014, 74% of revenue was from one source), the company is broadening its client mix (in Q1 2015, it was reported that a lesser amount, 61% of revenue came from one source).

Another sign of improvement is the 15% of total revenue that new markets generated in 2014. This is a huge step in the right direction for the company, seeing how as recently as 2013, they relied on Saudi Arabia to drive 89% of their top-line. This additional stream of revenue developed primarily as a result of new customers in Oman, but also due to the new offices in Qatar and Kuwait. While these new offices have yet to be fully integrated as part of NTGโ€™s global operations, ongoing sales efforts are beginning to produce top-line effects as seen with the new contract wins (examples here and here).

NTG Clarity is currently trading at 0.81x revenue and 4.38x EBITDA, well below industry comparables of 1.94x and 16.36x. Investors may be skeptical of a company that has a concentrated customer base with the majority of its operations in the Middle East and North Africa; however management is in the process of diversifying these revenue sources (explained above).

Despite the turmoil that occurred in Egypt recently, Q1 2015 revenues remained strong in the country by growing 24% over Q1 2014. Therefore, NTGโ€™s operations have proven to avoid the political unrest and instability typically associated with the regions where they conduct business.

NTG expects 2015 revenue of $20M, a figure that is conservative given the reported Q1 top line results. Q1 2015 revenues came in at $5M (or an annual run rate of $20M). As explained above though, Q1 has historically been the weakest quarter for NTG due to the timing of new contracts. As a result, expect annual revenues in the $22M range (above), a growth of 40% YoY. With EBITDA margins expected to be around 20%, 2015 should be yet another profitable year for NTG.

As shown in Figure 5, NTGโ€™s 2015 EBITDA is projected to be ~$4.2M. An average EV/EBITDA of 10x would result in an enterprise value of $42M or approximately $1.13/share. The companyโ€™s stock currently trades in the high $0.30, thereby presenting investors with upside of 200%.
The company itself has indirectly implied that its shares could be misunderstood by the market by:

1. Share Buyback Program
In November 2014, NTG announced a 1M share buybackauthorization, a rare move in the small cap space. In Q1 2015, the company repurchased 140,500 shares, leaving 859,500 shares still available. As long as the company trades at these depressed levels, I expect the buyback to continue, which will be accretive to the bottom line.

2. Funding By Using Debt Rather Than Equity
NTG has preferred to fund itself through debt rather than issue equity, given shares are trading below what the perceived fair value is. Small cap companies generally avoid debt given the financial rigidity involved and their inability to manage debt repayments. NTGโ€™s profitable and cash flow generating business, however, can manage these payments. Also, the interest rate NTG pays on its debt is bank prime (3%) + 1.85%, which is relatively low confirming the companyโ€™s stable business.

NTG is one of the most compelling value plays in the small cap space. The companyโ€™s growth- likely 30-40%- is expected to continue due to expansion efforts while their lean operating model will be further magnified by favorable revenue mix and accretive share buyback plans. Diversification risk remains a dark cloud over the company; however, management has addressed the issue and is in the process of mitigating it. Considering the low trading multiples NTG trades at, investors are given great downside protection while being exposed to 200% upside.

From QIS Capital:

NTG Clarity has successfully met every target management has made over the past several years. This significant contract is another step toward the $20 million in revenues forecast by the company for 2015. The increase to the credit facility adds further credibility to NTG Clarity and its recent growth, as RBC would have performed several criteria valuations to justify the over 150% increase to the credit facility. Congratulation to management for the continued growth in the company. NTG Clarity is trading at just 5 times earnings assuming $0.08 annualized eps. The company also has no long-term debt and has positive working capital of $0.19 per share. Adjusted for working capital, NTG Clarity would be trading at only 2.6X earnings.

Garcea's 2013 Research Report on NCI

COMPANY PROFILE
NTG Clarity provides telecom, network, IT, and infrastructure solutions to service providers, and medium and large enterprises. The Companyโ€™s core product is NTS โ€” an on- premise Operations Support System/Business Support System solution that is targeted at large utility organizations, telecom service providers, and the oil and resource industry. The Company generates revenue from three business segments: software development, professional services, and training services. NTG was founded in 1992, currently has ~200 employees and consultants, and is headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Canada.

Rating: STRONG BUY
Target Price: $1.00
Market Capitalization: $15.1M
Risk Profile: SPECULATIVE


NTG โ€“ AN EMERGING MARKET OSS/BSS PLAY

INVESTMENT THESIS: NTG Clarity Networks (โ€œNTGโ€ or โ€œthe Companyโ€) provides telecom, network, IT, and infrastructure solutions to communication service providers (โ€œCSPโ€), and medium and large enterprises. The Companyโ€™s core product is NTS โ€“ an on-premise Operations Support System/Business Support System (โ€œOSS/BSSโ€) solution. NTG provides investors an opportunity to participate in the expanding OSS/BSS industry with growth driven by increased adoption of convergent billing systems and a growing telecom sector. In the near term, emerging market CSPs will need to significantly invest in their network infrastructure, transitioning from legacy systems to an open and flexible architecture in order to lower CSP churn rates, increase ARPU, and improve the customer experience.

FINANCIAL REVIEW: NTG has been profitable in 27 of the last 33 quarters, recently reporting Q313 revenue of $3.77M, EBITDA of $1.12M, and EPS of $0.02. The Companyโ€™s cost control initiatives have led to healthy margins. We look for the Company to cross the $10M+ annual revenue milestone by year-end.

VALUATION: NTG currently trades at a 2014E EV/Sales multiple of 1.1x, and EV/EBITDA multiple of 3.8x (~5x maintenance revenue), versus industry comparables of 1.7x and 7.9x, respectively.

UPCOMING CATALYSTS NEAR TERM: Contract wins leading to a growing customer network and revenues. LONG TERM: Diversified geographical footprint and product portfolio, as well as inorganic growth.

We are initiating coverage on NTG with a STRONG BUY recommendation and 12-month target price of $1.00/share, implying a 133% upside from the current price. Given the risks associated with client concentration, geographical market instability, and sales lumpiness, we rate the risk profile as SPECULATIVE.

NTG Clarity Networks Anticipates Record Q1 Revenues

Toronto, ON / TheNewswire / April 15, 2015 / NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSX.V:NCI) is pleased to report that revenues for the first quarter of 2015 are expected to hit a Q1 record of at least $4.3 million. This compares with revenues of $2.9 million in Q1 last year and $1.5 million in Q1 2013. The first quarter has historically been NTG's weakest quarter for operating results largely due to the timing of new contracts and their corresponding billing. First quarter revenues this year were buoyed by new projects with new customers and an increase in business with existing customers. Complete financial results will be released in late May 2015.

"We are very pleased with our start to 2015," stated Ashraf Zaghloul, NTG Clarity's chairman and chief executive officer. "We expect to continue to generate record revenues during 2015 as we expand the business through our traditional sales channels as well as through our new offices opened in 2014."

NTG Clarity Networks Announces 2014 Year-End Financial Results, Record Revenues.
Wednesday, April 08, 2015

Toronto, ON / TheNewswire / April 8, 2015 / NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSX.V:NCI) , a leader in providing IT and infrastructure solutions in the telecom market, today reported its year end results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (all figures in Canadian Dollars).

Annual and quarterly highlights:

-2014 record revenues of $15.5M

-working capital of $6.2M ($0.17 per share) and no long-term debt

-opened new sales offices in Qatar and Kuwait

-strong order backlog

-targeting continuing strong revenue growth in 2015

2014 continued the positive growth for NTG Clarity as the company generated revenues of $15.5M, exceeding management's projections of $14M for the year. The Corporation reported a 47% increase in revenues for 2014 and has more than tripled revenues since 2012. The revenue increase in 2014 resulted from renewals, new orders, and contribution from our new office in Qatar. Revenue consisted of 54% professional services and 46% product related sales.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, revenue was $4,116,456, an increase of 30% over the same period in 2013. Fourth quarter revenue consisted of 41% professional services and 59% product related sales.

In 2014, we continued our focus on delivering the Network & Telecom System (NTS) - our Operations Support System/Business Support System (OSS/BSS) product, and the associated consulting services and training to implement the product.

At year-end, NTG was advised to write-down some of its receivables and business assets to reduce exposure to a customer and to improve cash flow. These write-downs included a bad debt provision of $442,788 and an impairment/loss of $119,366 for the Mi-World investment. After these items, Q4 2014 showed a loss after taxes of ($304,975) compared to a net profit of $47,492 in Q4 2013. Without these write-downs, the net income for Q4 2014 would have exceeded $200,000.The Company is working diligently to collect on the bad debt provision from these insured receivables. Also, note the impairment of Mi-World could be reversed in the future once it begins to generate revenues.

In 2014, our Gross Margin was 40% compared to 46% in 2013. The aggressive growth in 2014, start-up costs incurred during the year in Kuwait and Qatar, and the marketing and sales activities led to the decreased margin. In 2015 we plan to work on balancing between the growth and expenses to ensure increased margins.

Pre-tax net income for 2014 (after write-down and impairment) was $1.9M, which was consistent with last year. After deducting income taxes of $665K in 2014 ($84K in 2013), net income for the year was $1,241,923 ($0.034 per share) compared to $1,863,628 ($0.060 per share) in 2013. The differences are due primarily to the bad debt booked in Q4 2014, the impairment/loss on the Mi-World investment, and the additional taxes paid.

The Company was able to continue to strengthen its balance sheet during 2014 and ended the year with positive working capital of $6.2M ($0.17 per share) and no long-term debt.

Overall expenses as a percentage of revenue were fairly stable throughout 2014. Total operating expenses were $2,610,796 (16.8% of revenues) in 2014, and were $1,786,608 (16.9% of revenues) in 2013. Other expenses, which include the bad debt provision and impairment charges, were $1,632,499 (10.5% of revenues) in 2014, compared to $1,151,093 (10.9% of revenues) in 2013.

Selling expenses increased to $979,243 from $866,681 in 2013. Our selling efforts are increasing as we expand into new markets. General and administration expenses increased to $1,717,775 from $1,117,671 in 2013 due to an increase in salary and wages, new offices, and increased consulting and professional fees. Other general and administration expenses; such as rents, insurance, telecommunications, and supplies remained constant over the year. The Company reported a smaller 2014 foreign exchange gain of $86,222 compared to $197,744 in 2013. This was due mainly to the decreased value of the Egyptian pound compared to the Canadian dollar and losses incurred when converting currencies as we transfer between various branches.

Other expenses include amortization and depreciation which increased to $440,693 compared to $400,091, a bad debt expense of $442,788 compared to $6,921 in 2013, interest expense of $151,571 compared to $154,821, share based compensation of $391,832 from $513,261, impairment of $109,102 compared to nil, and foreign taxes of $86,249 from $67,426 in 2013.

NTG enters 2015 with a strong backlog of work and is targeting a continuing strong growth for the year. We remain committed to our growth strategy and continue to focus on growing organic operations, expanding our marketing reach geographically and enhancing our product offering. In addition to existing customers and projects, we will also continue to focus on our new offices in Qatar and Kuwait as well as expanding projects in Oman. We will be aggressively looking for an acquisition to increase our customer base, revenue and geographical presence. As in the past, our ability to generate positive operating cash flows, and report strong revenues and earnings are all critical to successfully executing this strategy. We are confident that we have the management team with the experience and resources to fulfill this vision.

NTG Clarity Networks could be the next market darling in this category. Also if they can corner the market in their respective regions they could be a nice acquisition target.
