Pureprofile (ASX: PPL): Can Global Expansion Drive Growth?

Pureprofile (PPL:ASX): Can global expansion beyond Australia drive new growth for the market research technology business?

The group needs to deliver sales closer to its global peers at A$150m to A$1bn in order to be a force. This company is a recent entrant in a growing sector and there is high risk, but also very big potential. if you see free cash flow ramping up, but that’s a big if.

We see a logical step for PPL is to make an acquisition offshore to assist in growth, and if the company continues to execute on the sales front, the share price should appreciate.

We anticipate a big valuation re-rating if the pureprofile team can deliver on sales targets, on top of which you will see earnings related price improvements.

Who is Pureprofile?

Pureprofile Ltd company profile: PPL as a global research & analytics platform with online research solutions to agencies.

Essentially the company generates revenue from the market research it does on consumers from a panel that accesses its proprietary technology platform. These insights into real human behaviour direct decision-making allowing clients to deliver more value to an advertising campaign by targeting specific audiences, while consumers are rewarded for their information and responses. The company builds and conducts its own surveys, as well as through partners, such as Flybuys in Australia (Coles).

Its first-party data with cutting-edge technology and data collection provides online research to agencies, marketers, researches and brands & businesses with direct access to millions of consumers.

How does Pureprofile make money?

The business was founded in 2000 and has been a business for over 25 years and over 850 global brands use their platform. It has built up a data base of 50 million panellists through online surveys. The company builds and conducts its own surveys, as well as through partners, such as Flybuys in (Coles). They provide software-as-a-service (SAAS)and research technology (ResTech). The three key revenue streams are from these products:

1. Insights – DIY research where clients build their own surveys

2. Raw intelligence – larger levels of data

3. Managed service – where Pure Profile builds and runs surveys

The researcher has built a technology platform, from which it automates some of its services.

What gives Pureprofile an edge?

Consumer insights allow the company’s customer base to gain valuable insights into customer and competitor behaviour.

Its competitive edge is its Australian market share through partnerships with Flybuys and we believe this can be translated in bigger regions, first the UK and then the US.

Expansion offshore is occurring, but it is necessary for the scale or sales level to reach a point that ensures that profitability is consistent and then growing.

The bedrock of the business is ANZ, where the company’s long history of surveys is complemented by the cornerstone partnerships with Coles owned Flybys and the ASX listed fintech Raiz Invest $RZI. This enables the group to obtain the data customers want – demographics, market share, consumer preferences, competitor activity.
