StatPro Group - StatPro Revolution ARR up 13% organically

StatPro has released an in-line trading update for FY17. Annualised recurring revenue (ARR) for StatPro Revolution grew by 13% organically. Statutory revenues, EBITDA and cash were broadly in line with our forecasts and we are maintaining our FY18 forecasts. Given the busy M&A backdrop, which saw competitor BISAM sold for 7.3x sales earlier in the year, and the significant valuation disparity between StatPro and its US-listed financial software peers, we continue to see strong upside potential in the shares.
