FY22A Results
In the 2022 financial year, Mexedia Group generated consolidated revenues amounting to € 140.90 million, up 6.9% compared to the FY21A figure. EBITDA, equal to € 8.37 mil- lion, saw an increase of 18.7%, compared to € 7.05 million in the previous year. The EBITDA Margin, equal to 5.9%, was also higher than the previous year's figure of 5.3%. EBIT, after amortization and depreciation of € 0.01 million, came in at € 8.36 million (€ 6.89 million in FY21A). Finally, the NFP came in at a debt value of € 26.38 million, worsening compared to the previous year's value (€ 18.40 million of debt).
Estimates Update
In light of the results published in the annual report for FY22A, and the recent acquisitions of PhoneTime Inc. and Matchcom Inc., we have revised our estimates for both the current year and the coming years. In particular, we now estimate an FY23E value of production of € 310.00 million, and an EBITDA of € 15.60 million, corresponding to a margin of 5.0%. In the following years, we expect the value of production to rise to € 490.00 million (CAGR 22Y-27E: 28.3%) in FY27E, with EBITDA equal to € 37.90 million (corresponding to a margin of 7.7%), up from € 8.37 million in FY22A (corresponding to an EBITDA Margin of 5.9%).
Valuation Update
We conducted our valuation of the equity value of Mexedia based on the DCF method. The DCF method (including, for prudential purposes, a specific risk of 2.50% in the calculation of the WACC) returned an equity value of € 262.2 million. The target price is € 46.00, with a BUY rating, and MEDIUM risk.

Company Overview
Mexedia, formerly known as Airtime Partecipazioni, is an Italian company active in the technology sector, and has been listed in France on the Euronext Growth Paris market since September 2021.

Commenting on the annual results in a press release, Orlando Taddeo, CEO of Mexedia SpA SB, stated: "It has been a very positive year for Mexedia Group. The 2022 Annual Financial Report and the 2022 Annual Non-FinancialReport were approved today by the board of directors of Mexedia SpA Società Benefit [Italian Benefit Corp.]. The results obtained are sati- sfactory, and show increases in terms of margins and EBITDA. The development of Mexedia continued in 2022, and the consolidated results confirm the correct strategic vision and the validity of the activities carried out. All this allows us to look to the future with confidence, and aim for ambitious goals."
In the 2022 financial year, Mexedia Group generated consolidated revenues amounting to
- 140.90 million, up 6.9% compared to the FY21A figure, thanks to the consolidation of cu- stomer relationships and an increase in telephone traffic volumes. Furthermore, in 2022, the SMS traffic service was launched by the Group, which still has limited subscriber numbers but significant growth prospects.
EBITDA, equal to € 8.37 million, saw an increase of 18.7%, compared to € 7.05 million in the previous year. The EBITDA Margin, equal to 5.9%, was also higher than the previous year's figure of 5.3%. Margins were positively influenced by the optimization of procurement costs resulting from a series of negotiations with suppliers, particularly in relation to traffic routing with strategic countries such as Africa and Latin America.
EBIT, after amortization and depreciation of € 0.01 million, came in at € 8.36 million (€ 6.89 million in FY21A). The EBIT Margin came in at 5.9%, compared to an FY21A figure of 5.2%. Net Income was € 4.43 million, also up from € 2.96 million in FY21A.
Finally, the NFP came in at a debt value of € 26.38 million, worsening compared to the previous year's value (€ 18.40 million of debt). We note that the NFP was influenced by financial requirements related to the change in working capital, connected to the increase in turnover and consequent greater use of financial disinvestment instruments.
