Research

We no longer hold a position in SPCB at this time. On July 13, 2015 we exited our SPCB position and removed SPCB from the GeoBargain on the radar list. Shares at their peak during its tenure as a GeoBargain on the Radar returned 197%.  We stated the company was facing tough quarterly comparisons and we were unimpressed by  management's failure to speak with us after it completed a stock offering out of the blue when it appeared that the company did not need to raise capital.  

Reported Q2 2015results:

  • Sales of $7.75 million vs $7.06 million in the prior year and below analyst estimates of $9.86 million

  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.16 vs $0.20 in prior year and below analyst estimates of $0.28

The company offered the following outlook:

“With a growing base of recurring revenues and increasing demand for our solutions, I believe we will meet the guidance previously issued, adjusted to the increased new share count as a result of the successful public offering we completed in June."

We will be on the conference call later this morning in order to gain more clarity on these comments.   The company’s previously issued 2015 guidance was for revenue growth for the full year ended December 31, 2015 to exceed 40% or $41.6 million on a year-over-year basis and non-GAAP EPS in 2015 to exceed $1.20 per share.  

Based on management's comments, the company is indicating a very strong second half of the year given that at the 6 months period ended in December,  the company is at $15.4 million in revenues and $0.38 in non-GAAP EPS.   Analyst estimates for Q3 and Q4 of 2015 are for $13.2 million and $12.3 in sales and for $0.34 and $0.28 in EPS, respectively.    We will participate in the earnings conference call slated to start at to gain clarification on management’s guidance.

Quotes from a Seeking Alpha Article by Lazarus Investment Partners


Based on the interview it sounds like SuperCom only needs to win 10% to 15% of the contracts they are bidding on to keep busy for the next 7 years. Arie, SuperCom's CEO, commented, "I do believe that, if we can make the most of having both companies combined together, that a win rate of over 10% is very, very achievable."

"In the EID market we talk about contracts that, in many cases, can be 3-times larger in size than the combined revenue of SuperCom and OTI. So investors may be surprised to see that -- maybe -- we'll announce a contract that will double our revenue in the next three years, just from one contract."
