Investing.com -- Shares of Temenos Group AG (SIX:TEMN) dipped 1.6% as the market digested the company’s fourth-quarter results and the impact of the Multifonds disposal.
Despite the company’s total software licensing rising by 10% and total revenues increasing by 8% year-on-year (YoY), which were ahead of consensus by 2%, the sale of Multifonds led to a reevaluation by investors.
The financial contribution of Multifonds, with an EBIT of $50 million, was likely higher than market expectations, as management highlighted its strong performance at the end of the year. Adjusted cash EBITDA for Multifonds stood at approximately $17 million, with free cash flow (FCF) at around $20 million.
The disposal of Multifonds for an enterprise value of $400 million necessitates a shift to pro forma financial numbers, requiring consensus to account for a full 12 months post-disposal.
Temenos provided solid underlying guidance, forecasting 5-7% growth in Subscription and SaaS, at least 5% EBIT growth, and a minimum of 12% FCF growth. However, the guidance, when combined with the Multifonds transaction, implies that headline consensus EBIT will need to decrease by approximately 12%, with EPS and FCF expected to drop by about 5%.
Jefferies analysts commented on the company’s guidance and the Multifonds sale, stating: "We think underlying guidance metrics are fine, although complicated by the disposal of Multifonds. There’re lots of moving parts, but assuming a $200m future buyback, we think headline FY25 consensus earnings and FCF per share (which still includes Multifonds) will probably come down by 2-3%, a modest price to dispose of a noncore asset."
