FinLab AG significantly improved the results for 2015 and expects to
con-tinue this positive trend in 2016 - Target price increase to 16.70 EUR
 
Yesterday, FinLab AG published its preliminary results for FY 2015. The
company con-tinues the positive trend from last year and total results
pursuant to IFRS increased by 46.7 % to EUR 15.4m, in comparison to EUR 10.5m
last year. Accordingly, we estimate an increase of equity up to EUR 54.9m.
The positive development is also driven by the good performance of Heliad
Equity Partners share. FinLab owns 47.04 % of Heliad Equity Partners and
therefore realized gains from the appreciation of the share. Last year,
FinLab also acquired the crowd funding platform 'Venturate' and the deposit
platform 'Deposit Solutions' as well as the e-learning/trading platform
'nextmarkets'. Hence, FinLab greater focus on financial service technology
is further backed up by these successful investments.
 
Heliad increased its net asset value (NAV) from EUR 8.53 to EUR 10.87 per share
on the 31/12/2015. Therefore, the discount from the NAV to the share price
is still 43.0 % and shows substantial appreciation potential. Based on the
share price of Heliad on the 31/12/2015 of EUR 6.20, we estimate FinLab AGs
hidden reserves to around EUR 20.9m.
 
We estimate the fair value per FinLab-share to be no less than EUR 16.70,
based on the preliminary results. We will review our findings and may
adjust the target price with the publication of the annual report 2015 on
the 29/04/2016. FinLab is optimis-tic for the current FY16 and reports a
very good start to the year. Furthermore, FinLab expects positive results
for FY16, especially due to the upcoming rounds of financing for its
investments with an expected increase in valuation. Furthermore, new
investments are expected to contribute to the corporate success. Hence, we
reiterate our BUY recommendation for FinLab AG.
