Results where released today.

Very strong results given the current covid situation. However I think Covid has made 4Sight even more relevant and opened new growth areas and markets.

Dividend
A dividend will not be paid or considered due to planned acquisitions and to preserve cash reserves for foreseeable unfavourable market.

Company outlook
The reality for many companies and industries is that the COVID-19 pandemic has fast tracked digital transformation initiatives. Organisations that had been 'waiting' have now been forced to evolve their business operating models to cut cost, mitigate newly identified risks and make plans to sustain their businesses. Working from home, newly distributed teams and companies having to pivot and find new and innovative revenue streams has created a totally new working environment and a boardroom level urgency to digitally transform.

The 4Sight team is ready to take on this new working environment challenge with a renewed strategy, newly implemented structure and a proven track record of solid results. We continue to expand vertically to deepen our capabilities across our Operational Technology (OT), Information Technology (IT) and Business Environment (BE) focus areas. This convergence is now a reality for many of our customers and embracing it will be the only way they will continue to grow their businesse Moving into the second half of 2020, from an internal perspective, we will continue to streamline the synergies between the businesses and also build on our shared services drive to optimise and drive efficiencies. Focusing externally, we are entering H2 with good orders in hand and a strong pipeline that just needs to be converted. We will be increasing the delivery of managed services to ensure continued growth in annuity revenue across our go-to-market clusters. This will be supported by expanding our customer footprint through our channel and alliance partner network.

We anticipate further growth with an updated customer segmentation in place and the sales and marketing efforts aligned to support our customers' growth. This is coupled with the tremendous respect and credibility we gain from working with our strategic partners and vendors. We continue to work in union with our partners to deliver complex integrated solutions to the market to help our customers navigate and evolve in this new normal. Our drive for organic growth will continue and identifying and acquiring new businesses that support and strengthen our current core business value proposition will continue.

Deal now in final stages. Refer to the latest SENS. Shows the whole impact of the transaction. Also shows holding of 5% and above.

Guys be ready for a sharp demand of shares after the transaction is concluded.

They had to keep the share price low so that the transaction is fair and reasonable.

Basically 290 Million shares bought back by the company at 31 cents.

Any idea how many shares are still being dumped here?

How do you guys get this info? Curious noob investor.

 

As far as I know there is one or two previous directors who are dumping the shares because they are angry they got voted out. 

 

Once the Digitata transaction will be complete the number of shares issued will be reduced by around 260 Million shares. This will help to stabilize the share price as well. A lot of shares are hold by the current directors who will not sell at these share levels. If you look at some of the latest SENS you will see that a lot of directors have actually bought more shares.

Someone is trying to keep the price low. Dumping shares. So until this guy is done we won't see big increases I think.

 

All we can do is wait for Half year report and for the Digitata transaction to be finalized. Will reduce the Shares in issue by 250 Million.

 

Share price will go up eventually I think. Strong cash generating units, new management with a plan and no more warrants to be issued.

 

Also this year will be the first year with a clean audit opinion as Visualitics has been sold last year.

 

Cant believe what the old management has done- Internal fights, moving one business into business rescue which was not necessary, not obtaining a clean audit opinion, suspension of shares etc. They actually need to be sued for negligent behavior and not acting in the best interest of the company. Luckily thats the past and we can look forward now. Great potential here for cloud services.

Someone trying to push the share price, Two orders where placed without a limit with high volumes. Why would someone do that? that person is just burning his/her own money lol. 

 

The company has produced an EPS of around 0.18 USD cents. This is around 3 rands cents per share. Ridiculous where the share price is currently sitting.

Key points out of the AGM:

 

-They will most probably have a clean audit opinion for 2020

- They have increased revenue and EPS significantly. Future growth outlook remains very positive

- 2025 goal is to become a JSE listed company with an aim to maybe get a secondary listing on the Nasdaq.

- New multi million deals have been concluded in the past months.

- Aggressive marketing campaign has started. Just have a look at their Linked in page. They have basically daily posts about webinars etc.

 

Also great interview with the directors of 4 Sight available here:

Haha Lionelza1, I love this sentence the most:

After the initial impact of COVID-19, we immediately started gearing up our marketing and online presence with
news, webinars and other digital and remote engagements with current customers and business prospects. These
initiatives coupled with our proactive pivot in group strategy have resulted in 4Sight securing several multiple
million rand deals remotely during this time. It should be noted that the full delivery of our new deals will also be
completed remotely.


This for me is the future and the JSE has missed a share like this. Also the new management is super competent and they want this company to grow big.


Very awesome Andi! And many thanks for your posts

4SIGHT HOLDINGS LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of Mauritius)
(Registration number: C148335 C1/GBL)
JSE share code: 4SI ISIN: MU0557S00001
(“4Sight” or “the Company” or “the Group”)


UPDATE ON THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2020


THE IMPACT OF COVID-19
The impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been felt across all the Group’s affiliates and business units
in different ways. The majority of operating subsidiaries were categorised as suppliers of essential goods and
services and therefore remained “online” and open for trade, albeit under the COVID-19 lockdown regulations.
The move to lockdown level 4 allowed the Group to gradually start trading in more retail product categories, that
affected only one affiliate, AGE Technologies. All operations except for minor business units (such as training
centres) are back in full production.

From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Board of Directors (BoD) and Executive team (EXCO) held
emergency strategy sessions prioritising the management of cash flow and elimination of unnecessary costs where
possible. Our primary goal has been to protect the health and livelihoods of our people during this time. Although
salary increases were put on hold across the majority of the Company, these have now been implemented and our
headcount has increased by 6%.

During the pandemic, the health and safety of our people, our customers and all other stakeholders has been our
priority. We have refined our standard operating procedures to ensure that all operations conform to the highest
levels of hygiene and social distancing requirements. To this end, we have built our own COVID-19 scanning and
contact tracking application. This has been successfully implemented both internally as well as with several of our
customers. We have also implemented a wide range of alternate and flexible working arrangements, where possible
utilising technology to enable remote work. Approximately 99% of our workforce now work and service our
customers remotely.

After the initial impact of COVID-19, we immediately started gearing up our marketing and online presence with
news, webinars and other digital and remote engagements with current customers and business prospects. These
initiatives coupled with our proactive pivot in group strategy have resulted in 4Sight securing several multiple
million rand deals remotely during this time. It should be noted that the full delivery of our new deals will also be
completed remotely.

BUSINESS UPDATE
The last 40 years of technology advancements have led to new and exciting innovations. In the 1980s, we had big
computing and large mainframes. The 1990s saw the era of PCs, networking and data sharing. The 2000s brought
us the Internet and the sharing and connectivity of information, whilst the 2010s saw the proliferation of mobile
devices and apps. Now that we have entered the 2020s, we find ourselves in the ‘automation era’. This is
underpinned by data which is the oil of the automation era as well as any Modern Digital Enterprise’s core asset
in the 2020s.

Our EXCO team identified the Modern Digital Enterprise concept in November 2019 as our key strategy for
business growth in the modern digital economy and automation era. In our most recent annual report, our Group
CEO, Tertius Zitzke, indicated that our business opportunity resides, in taking advantage of 4IR technologies,
coupled with our proven digital transformation approach and initiatives to ultimately accelerate the convergence
between the Operational Technologies, Information Technologies and Business Environment worlds through our
integrated solutions.

We believe that the key characteristic of 4IR is the intelligent use of data to support better decision-making in near
real time. This is critically important in today’s hypercompetitive digital economy in which the ability to pivot
rapidly in response to changing market conditions (e.g. COVID-19) or customer demand is vital. To realise the
true value of 4IR technologies, organisations will need to evolve so that people and technology also converge.

This convergence of 4IR technologies and people will give rise to a new kind of business organisation, which can
be referred to as Enterprise 5.0. This can only be achieved when the technology and people are brought together
within the Enterprise 5.0 framework. We have identified a number of key pillars within 4IR (Industry 4.0) that will
accelerate customers' adoption of digital transformation initiatives and allow them to take advantage of technology
solutions that deliver meaningful business value. These include: People4.0, Customer4.0, Operation4.0, Finance4.0
and Innovation4.0.

We continue to actively manage the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our priority remains the health
and safety of our employees. We are also providing support to our customers, intermediaries and vulnerable
suppliers across our businesses.

This share will soon be moving. As mentioned before new management is pushing this to a big company. Long term goal as mentioned by the CEO is to become a JSE listed entity.


Cool Thanks. I'm hoping they succeed
