SUMMARY

FY17 was a transformative year for Keywords with revenues growing by 57% and EPS by 52%. Like-for-like revenue growth accelerated to 15.1% (we estimate 18% stripping out recent acquisitions) highlighting the company’s strengthened position in the supply chain. With an expanded debt facility, we believe the company potentially has the acquisition firepower to more than double its EPS run rate exiting FY18, and see no obvious reason why the cycle should not repeat in FY19. The shares price in further strong progress, but nothing is new there, and sustained execution should continue to drive strong returns.
