Sg Company Initiation of Coverage - Oct-2018 (ValueTrack)Paolo Cirani
SG Company provides to more than 140 corporate clients services such as B2B events organization & management and solutions / support in terms of offline and online communication. The company has organized 365 events in 2017 in Italy and abroad, including incentive trips, company’s kick-off or product launches. Furthermore, the Group is also entering the live communication B2C segment and reinforcing its digital communication services offer.
In our view, the key success factor of SG Company vs. its competitors is its extremely well structured and “industrialized” attitude, coupled with a full coverage of corporate needs in this segment. The result is that SG Company is extremely resilient to market downturns, indeed its revenues always grew since foundation (but for two years) with a 2009A-’17A CAGR standing at ca. 17%.
In 2018E-20E, SG Company is expected to increase its Revenues at 14% CAGR and to maintain its EBIT margin stable at ca. 10%. The Company generates cash and is cash positive. Therefore, we expect SG Company in the whole period to maintain its extremely high ROE.
At current market price the stock is trading at 9.0x EV/EBIT’18E and – 15.5x PE’18E respectively. We believe that the strong equity story (relentless growth) would deserve higher multiples. Indeed, our valuation analysis leads to €3.10 fair value per share, which implies more than 20% potential upside.

Нативная реклама и специальные редакционные проекты в MAXIMAnton Gorodetsky
Когда мы с организаторами только обсуждали возможные темы моего выступления, мне предложили несколько возможных вариантов — и среди прочих был такой: «Монетизация „горячего“ контента». На что я говорю:
— Вот конкретно этот вариант не подходит, потому что, раз, там много всякой внутренней информации, про которые я не могу говорить, и, два, монетизация «горячего» контента по сути своей ничем не отличается от монетизации любого другого контента: просто когда кого-то из клиентов смущают, извините, сиськи в каком-то из разделов (слайд 2) — что мы делаем? — мы просто выключаем эти материалы (слайд 3). И сайт с горячим контентом превращается в просто развлекательный мужской сайт.
Но зато этим вариантом они подкинули мне идею для другой темы — собственно, заявленной: нативная реклама и специальные редакционные проекты в MAXIM. Потому что монетизировать мужской контент не сложно: взяли да запилили красивый баннер (вот хоть такой — слайд 4).
Куда сложнее — рассказать о клиенте, о рекламодателе так, что читатель, потенциальный покупатель, который уже успел выработать иммунитет, баннерную слепоту к всевозможной прямой рекламе, вдруг проникся идеей, захотел их продукт — ну или как минимум, не раздражался, а с интересом изучил то, что ему предлагают.
Один из патриархов рекламной индустрии Дэвид Огилви тут все уже сказал (слайд 5). Что такое плохая реклама? Это та, которая бесит, вызывает не желание купить продукт или воспользоваться услугой, а раздражение.
