    DNB Markets: Strongest ever quarter

    IAR’s Q4 results were strong across the board despite tough YOY comparables, with encouraging early signals of commercial traction for its SaaS offering and long-awaited milestone deals in security. As IAR launches its long-awaited SaaS transition in 2025e, we expect earnings to come under pressure short-term, but its defensive recurring revenues, strong balance sheet and share buybacks should mitigate share-price volatility. We have raised our 2025e adj. EPS by 2% and reiterate our fair value of SEK160–265Broad-based Q4 beat. Organic sales growth was 5% YOY (11% net sales beat versus our

    DNB Markets - IAR Systems: Potential for share buy backs

    The modernisation of IAR Systems continues in full force. Having laid off 11% of its employees, launched its new integrated safety, security, and compliance solution in Q2, and planned broader SaaS transformation. With a leaner cost structure into 2024e, we believe operating leverage could surprise on the upside. Given its net cash position (8% of its market cap) and decade-low valuation multiples, we see potential for it to utilise its share buyback mandate. We have raised our 2023–2024e adj. EBIT by 10–7%, and in turn our fair value to SEK130–200 (120–200).Solid Q2 against low

    DNB Markets - IAR Systems: fair value cut to SEK120-200

    Amid 1) a hiccup in its turnaround; 2) a shift in the investor base; and 3) low liquidity in the shares, IAR Systems’ share price is back at 2015 levels. We have educed our 2023–2024e EPS by 33–20% to factor in slower organic growth (with high drop-through). Although 2023 seems to be a difficult year, we appreciate the combination of profitable growth, being net cash positive, defensive elements from c40% recurring revenues, and optionality from its embedded security offering. We note insiders have accumulated shares above current share-price levels recently. We have lowered our fair value to

    DNB Markets - IAR Systems: Dent in turnaround trajectory

    IAR Systems’ Q4 report was a slight hiccup in its accelerated profitable growth turnaround, but we still expect it to see 45%+ EBIT growth YOY in 2023e with relative insulation from support and updates at ~40% of net sales, and durable design activity as developers choose IAR’s tools to boost productivity and the cost of ownership. We reiterate our SEK140–250 fair value.Q4 sales in line with our forecast but operating leverage declined to 7%. IAR reported Q4 organic sales growth of 7% YOY (from 11% YOY in Q3 and 14% in Q2), which led to net sales 1% above our forecasts. We expected SEK2.1m

    DNB Markets - IAR Systems: First glimpse of security traction

    Delving into the Q3 results, we note adj. EBIT grew 41% YOY (in line with our forecast), lending credence to our case that IAR is three quarters into a profitable growth turnaround. Although perpetual licence sales are not immune to weakening IT spend, we are encouraged that its long-awaited security offering is starting to ramp up, suggesting leverage to 10–15% organic sales growth ambitions. We reiterate our fair value of SEK140–250 on broadly unchanged 2023–2024 forecasts, on which IAR is trading at an EV/EBIT of 13–10x.A look beyond the headline results revealed: 1) organic sales growth

    A quality Q2 beat reinforces our view that IAR Systems is gradually coming back to an accelerated profitable growth trajectory after a long negative EPS revisions trend.
