Trackwise Designs — Open offer oversubscribed

Trackwise has confirmed the results of its open offer, which was oversubscribed and, together with a placing, has raised £12.6m (gross). This will fund a new manufacturing facility that will quadruple IHT production capacity. The additional capacity is required to support the up to £38m electric vehicle (EV) contract announced in September and potential volume orders from electrosurgical catheter manufacturers and aerospace OEMs and suppliers. It will also support future production for nuclear fusion, pipe-leak detection and micromotor winding applications.

Fundraising to support IHT expansion

The placing raised £11.0m and the open offer, which was originally intended to raise up to £1.0m, raised £1.6m, both at 200p/share. In total, £4.2m of the funds raised will be spent on plant and machinery for the new facility, £0.7m to fit out the new facility and the rest to satisfy working capital requirements. The new facility is scheduled to start production in Q421. Although we do not present detailed FY22 estimates, we provisionally estimate that expansion could support FY22 revenues of at least £24m. At present, we reduce our FY21 EPS estimate by 22% to reflect share dilution.

Second IHT facility needed to support EV contract

This additional IHT capacity is needed to support the three-year manufacturing agreement with a UK EV OEM, worth up to £38m. Deliveries under this contract are expected to reach full rate in Q421, stretching existing capacity. The new facility will also support medical customers. Trackwise has recently delivered samples to its lead electro-surgical catheter customer, a large US medical OEM. The samples are working as specified in trials, so management anticipates further orders in 2021 and is targeting early 2022 for production revenues. The additional capacity may also be useful for Trackwise’s 30+ aerospace customers. For example, Trackwise is working with GKN Aerospace on the industrialisation of an ice protection system, which could potentially move to volume production in 2023.

Valuation: Addressing several high-potential sectors

While our peer multiples-based analysis shows Trackwise trading at a premium to its peers on all metrics, this approach fails to recognise the potential of the IHT business so we have augmented it with a scenario analysis, which is presented in our September note. This explores how the three key segments in which Trackwise has developed prototype IHT products for customers (EVs, medical devices and aerospace) each have the potential to generate revenues of at least £100m at even relatively modest levels of market penetration.

Trackwise’s share price has doubled since the announcement of the series production order for the EV manufacturer in September. At current levels, our peer multiples-based analysis shows Trackwise’s shares trading at a premium to the sample means on all metrics. However, Trackwise is expected to grow revenues much more strongly than any of the sample over the next two years. Moreover, the IHT business has the potential to deliver growth that is faster than the average for our sample not just for the period covered by our estimates, but for several years beyond that, so the peers multiple-based approach fails to recognise the potential of the IHT activity longer term. We therefore supplement the peer multiples approach with a scenario analysis.

Scenario analysis

In our September note, we presented a scenario analysis that looked at the potential revenues achievable if the company was successful in penetrating specific target markets. This approach showed the three key segments in which Trackwise has developed prototype IHT products for customers (EV, medical devices and aerospace) have the potential to generate revenues of at least £100m at relatively modest levels of market penetration. The contract with the EV manufacturer announced in September is the first demonstration of uptake of the technology at scale.
