Transformation fully on track - Initiate with BUY

Following the appointment of Ralf Thomas as CEO in 2022, mVISE performed a

remarkable transformation, in which the company restructured into a

manufactory with a focus on software development while significantly

reducing workforce to improve utilization and thus efficiency. Here,

management has implemented a one-stop-shop experience for customers,

catering the entire value chain from the initial development until the

operation of the software. On top of this, mVISE acquired Workforce

Management (WFM) expert opcyc GmbH in late 2023, a company with a staggering

60% EBITDA margin and 90+% recurring revenue ratio.

The general beauty of the transformation lies in the positive impact on

visibility and profitability (EBITDA margin +20.7pp from 2023'-27) as both

the development business as well as the WFM software are yielding scalable

and recurring revenues (70% by FY '27e) thanks to long-term contracts with

customers.

In our view, the secret of success going forward lies in the company's

holistic development approach, offering numerous advantages for customers as

it focusses on the entire software lifecycle, allowing for a more efficient,

user-oriented and flexible process, ultimately improving quality and thus

driving customers value. In addition, mVISE has a proven sector expertise,

especially in the telecommunication and industrial segment, which marks a

competitive edge compared to larger, more sector-agnostic peers, in our

view.

Going forward, mVISE is further seen to benefit from several structural

growth trends regarding both software development and WFM. Here, especially

the ongoing digitalization of German SMEs as well as the increasing

cloudification should enhance the prospects of custom software developers

like mVISE.Moreover, the intensifying labour shortage as well as flexible

work models are seen to drive demand for WFM solutions. Thanks to probably

the most configurable tool in the market, opcyc should be able to even

compete with larger peers, in our view.

Along with several growth opportunities and operating a highly scalable

business model, the stock looks undervalued trading at 5.8x EV/EBITDA 2024e

(4.1x '26e). We hence initiate with BUY and a EUR 1.40 PT

based on DCF.
