Investment summary
Esker’s FY17 results confirmed that the company has maintained its double-digit revenue growth rate. While investment in R&D and consulting capacity held back the rate of profit growth in FY17, this highlights the company’s focus on driving multi-year revenue growth. We have revised our forecasts to take account of the higher cost base, which is more than offset by the reduction in the group tax rate. We increase our normalised EPS forecast by 0.6% in FY18 and forecast EPS growth of 19.5% in FY19.

Customers move to using DPA software to reduce paper-related costs and errors in processing, to speed up the cash conversion cycle, to improve process visibility within the enterprise and to improve customer service.
