Kape Technologies: Integration Update
Edison | Nov 28, 2018 05:48AM ET
Kape Technologies PLC (LON:KAPE) provided a brief update on progress integrating its recent acquisitions, Intego and ZenMate. While no numbers were given, integration is tracking ahead of plan and the company reports ‘early signs of strong traction’ promoting CyberGhost’s VPN into Intego’s customer base. This is obviously encouraging, reinforcing our view about Kape’s ability to make value-accretive deals leveraging its distribution network. At this early stage we make no change to our forecasts.
Intego and ZenMate integration ahead of plan: Acquired in July, Intego provides anti-virus software to 150,00
0 Mac users on a subscription basis. ZenMate, a VPN provider focused on Germany, was acquired in October. We estimate that these businesses will generate FY19 revenue of $10m and EBITDA of c $1.8m (13% of the group total). Management reports that integration of Intego is ahead of plan, its initiative to utilise Kape’s user acquisition platform to accelerate its growth is described as ‘extremely encouraging’ and selling VPN services (CyberGhost) into its customer base is showing ‘early signs of strong traction’. Restructuring of ZenMate is now also complete (ie in just over a month) and the business is performing ahead of expectations.
