Solid 3Q result impresses investors
M7T posted a solid 3QFY21 cashflow report which has impressed the market.
Following a subdued 2Q report which was impacted by some timing issues, the 3Q report reversed this with cash receipts of A$8.4m and net operating cash inflow of A$3.3m.
This leaves M7T with cash on hand of A$18.0m and year-to-date positive net operating cashflow of A$1.2m.
New and existing customers step up
M7T generated A$12.8m (total contract value) of new sales orders for the quarter (up from A$7.6m in 2Q), taking total year-to-date orders to A$23.6m, including A$2.8m in annual recurring revenue (ARR).
Pleasingly, sales orders have been signed with both new customers (Metro Health) and existing customers (Adventist Health, Ambra Health and Hospital Authority of Hong Kong).
Of significance, the Adventist Health contract has already generated 8 new orders this quarter with more orders expected to be executed. M7T also noted its reseller partners are continuing to have success, calling out Allscripts closing two additional deals (Mercy Iowa City and Ascension Health).
Further comments were made around a number of contract renewals with three existing customers (Marshfield Clinic, Uni of California San Francisco and Duke University). Customer feedback suggests flexibility, scalability and deployment speed are key selling points.
No changes to forecasts
We have made no changes to our forecasts. Importantly, management has guided to positive net operating cashflow for FY21.
Investment view – Add recommendation maintained
Given we have made no changes to forecasts our DCF valuation remains unchanged. We have set our target price at the same level (login to view).
The downside risk is delays in securing contracts given the COVID-19 situation in the US. We maintain our Add recommendation.
