Nucleus Software reported good results for the quarter ended September 2005. The products business maintained its strong growth momentum contributing to 36% of total sales revenues. Client addition remained healthy with the company adding 6 new clients (5 new product orders for its flagship product FinnOne and Cash management) and total order book of around Rs 1100 mn. Nucleus’ operating margins declined sequentially to 30% from 32.8% on account of salary hikes during the quarter. Going forward, we expect products business to be the main growth driver for the company. At CMP of Rs 280, the stock trades at 13.3x FY06E EPS of Rs 21.1 and 10x FY07E EPS of Rs 27.9. We remain positive on Nucleus business prospects and maintain our ‘Accumulate’ rating on the stock.
Products drive growth
Nucleus reported good 2Q FY06 performance with 8.8% q-o-q growth in sales revenues to Rs 357.3 mn and 2.4% growth in net profit to Rs 87.9 mn. Product segment reported healthy 13.3% q-o-q growth in sales revenues to Rs 128.3 mn and contributed to 35.9% of sales as against 34.5% in the previous quarter. Projects business remained almost flat at Rs 194.6 mn and contributed to 54.5% of sales, while professional services contributed to 9.6% of total sales.
Salary hike restricts margin expansion
Nucleus’ gross margins during the quarter declined from 48.8% to 44% amid salary hikes during the quarter. However flat selling and marketing and lower general and administrative expenses resulted in operating margin decline to 30% from 32.8% in the previous quarter.
Other result highlights:
With good 1H FY06 performance, we believe Nucleus is on track to achieve our FY06E estimates of Rs 1363.4 mn sales revenues and net profit of Rs 340.1 mn. At CMP of Rs 280, the stock trades at 13.3x FY06E EPS of Rs 21.1 and 10x FY07E EPS of Rs 27.9. We maintain our ‘Accumulate’ rating on the stock.
