Rovio - Write-up
By: Jesper Henrikson
Investment thesis:
- EV/fcf 7 and p/e 13 for e2020
- Profitability improvements in 2020 come from unchanged revenues with significantly lower UA costs
- The view of the market is that revenues are boosted by Covid and that increased UA is needed to maintain revenue level, which will then reduce profits
- The investment case is based on UA investments in 2019 instead were undisciplined, and that higher payback requirements will help to maintain revenue despite lower UA investments
- According to outlook statements, Rovio seems to have become more careful with UA and started milking the cash-cow games
- In 2020, the company has made buy-backs of almost 10% of the company – which is likely to continue 2021
- A low valuation combined with several optionalities to surprise on the upside makes the investment appealing
