Company Name: Aspermont Ltd. ISIN: AU000000ASP3 Reason for the research: Research Report (Anno) Recommendation: Buy Target price: 0.03 AUD Target price on sight of: 31.12.2025 Last rating change: Analyst: Julien Desrosiers, Matthias Greiffenberger Resilient Subscriptions and Strategic Focus. Strong Foundation for Growth: Cash Stability and continued innovation. FY2025e Return to profitability. Revenue Decline Amid Market Headwinds: Aspermont reported FY2024 revenues of AUD 17.49M, reflecting a 9.2% YoY decline, primarily driven by volatility in Events and Nexus segments due to challenging market conditions. However, revenues are forecasted to rebound 13% to AUD 19.76M in FY2025, supported by growth in subscription services and new product expansion. Strength in Recurring Revenue: The company's core subscription business maintained its resilience, delivering its 33rd consecutive quarter of growth and contributing over 50% of total revenue. This reflects Aspermont's ability to scale high-margin, recurring income streams despite cyclical market pressures. Cash Liquidity Amid Strategic Investments: Despite strategic investments, Aspermont preserved a stable cash position of AUD 1.4M as of FY2024. Funds were allocated to expanding the DataWorks platform, upgrading the Horizon V5 system, and enhancing the Data & Intelligence division, positioning the company for future growth. Operational Optimization: The company continued to optimize its operations by discontinuing low-margin legacy products, reallocating resources toward scalable digital offerings, and enhancing senior leadership to drive execution and innovation. This has strengthened operational efficiency and revenue quality. FY2025 Outlook: Aspermont is well-positioned to return to profitability in FY2025. The recovery is expected to be fueled by a rebound in Events, continued data services growth, and ongoing cost optimization efforts. Valuation and Recommendation: Based on our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, we maintain a Buy rating with a target price of AUD 0.03 (EUR 0.02) per share, reflecting upside potential as growth strategies yield results.
