Proactive - Interviews for investors

Netcompany (OTCQX:NTCYF) chief financial officer Thomas Johansen joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more details about the Pan-European IT services firm as it starts trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker 'NTCYF.'

Johansen said the company has been listed on the Copenhagen exchange since 2018 and joined the OTCQX to broaden its shareholder base in the US, acknowledging the significance of the IT and technology sector there. Currently, approximately 10% of Netcompany's shares are held by US investors, with ambitions to increase this further. Trading on OTCQX is anticipated to facilitate easier investment by US investors and enhance the company's visibility in the US market.

The company reported a challenging yet strong performance for the fourth quarter of December 2023, showcasing double-digit growth and robust cash flow. This growth was predominantly driven by its operations outside Denmark, particularly noting that 45% of its business originates from Denmark, with the international sector experiencing over 20% growth in 2023. Although there was a temporary softness in Denmark's private sector and public spending in 2023, both sectors are showing signs of rebound in 2024.

For 2024, Netcompany projects revenue growth of 7-10% and an EBITA margin of 15-18%, expecting broad-based growth across Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, Benelux, and Greece. This optimism is backed by a 17% increase in revenue visibility at the year's start and expected tenders within the European Union.

Johansen highlighted Netcompany's investment appeal through strong organic growth, high margins, significant free cash flow, and a commitment to returning value to shareholders through buyback programs or dividends.

The FTSE 100 fell at the open on Tuesday.

In a busy day for earnings, Flutter and 888 Holdings both appeared to please the market with their updates.

Paddy Power owner Flutter hailed its first positive earnings in its US business, while 888’s news of a new strategic direction looked to overshadow a slump in profits.

Also reporting was housebuilder Bellway, which fell as reassurances that trading looked to improve over the second half of the year failed to take eyes off a 56% drop in interim profit.

Things did look better for Ocado Retail after a spat between its owners Ocado and M&S though, as it reported an increase in market share over the first quarter.

And finally, Revolution Bars plummeted after the chain confirmed the likes of a sale or restructuring were being explored after reports said job cuts were likely.

Great Boulder Resources managing director Andrew Paterson joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the promising developments at the Pollele Gold Project. The surface geochemistry review has uncovered several large, high-tenor pathfinder anomalies, suggesting potential gold mineralisation. This finding at Pollele, located near Meekatharra in Western Australia, shows similarities to the company's Mulga Bill and Side Well projects.

Great Boulder, in a joint venture with Castle Minerals, is optimistic about these initial results, with the potential to exercise a 75% acquisition option if the findings align with their strategic objectives. The limited drilling at Pollele to date points to significant untapped potential, with many targets yet to be explored.

Next steps for the project include drilling to investigate the identified 4-kilometre-long zone of pathfinder elements, paralleling the mineralised Albury Heath shear. This exploration approach, honed at Side Well, is anticipated to yield valuable insights into the gold prospects at Pollele.

Additionally, Great Boulder Resources is preparing for aircore drilling at the Side Well project.

Gold Hydrogen Ltd (ASX:GHY) managing director Neil McDonald joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the recent “amazing” findings of natural hydrogen and helium at the Ramsay Project in South Australia. With hydrogen purity reaching 86% and helium at 17.5% air-corrected purity, these results are significant not just for Gold Hydrogen but on a global scale.

McDonald emphasises the early success in recovering these gases from multiple formations at Ramsay 1 and 2 wells, highlighting the project's potential. This early testing phase is crucial, as it lays the groundwork for scaling up to commercial levels.

Further testing scheduled for April is anticipated to provide more insights, supporting the company's progression toward establishing a pilot plant. This initiative aligns with Gold Hydrogen’s strategy to leverage its significant resources of both gases within the Ramsay Project area.

The market reacted positively to these developments, with Gold Hydrogen's shares surging almost 16%. This response reflects growing investor recognition of the company's potential in the emerging hydrogen and helium markets, underpinned by the promising early results and strategic project execution.

Trust Stamp CTO Scott Francis joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the company's latest innovation: its AI-Powered Age-Estimation technology. This groundbreaking solution is designed to enable both online and offline enterprises to estimate the age range of users based on facial image capture.

According to Trust Stamp, understanding the age of online users is of paramount importance. Not only does it ensure that services and content suitable for mature audiences are not accessed by minors, but it also safeguards platforms designed for young people from infiltration by adult users.

Francis emphasized that Trust Stamp recently participated in a competition against an industry leader in the age verification field. The outstanding performance of its deep-learning technology in this test has positioned Trust Stamp to negotiate the first commercial implementation of the age-estimation technology. This success underscores the efficacy and reliability of Trust Stamp's innovative approach.

The company offers flexibility in the deployment of this technology. It can be delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) application through the Orchestration Layer, as an on-premises installation, via a Software Development Kit (SDK) for integration into mobile applications, or potentially as a stand-alone application capable of running on the edge without Internet access. This versatility ensures that enterprises can seamlessly integrate the age-estimation technology into their existing systems and workflows, catering to diverse operational requirements.

In summary, Trust Stamp's AI-Powered Age-Estimation technology represents a significant advancement in age verification solutions, providing businesses with the tools they need to ensure compliance with age-related regulations and safeguard their online platforms. With its proven performance and flexible deployment options, Trust Stamp is poised to lead the way in enabling secure and responsible interactions in the digital age.

Intra Energy Corporation Ltd (ASX:IEC) managing director Ben Dunn sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the notable and rapid progress being made at the Maggie Hays Hill Project in the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt of Western Australia. The project has been a focal point for gold and lithium exploration, with recent mapping and soil sampling programs unveiling new gold anomalies.

The proximity of this project to key mining and processing sites, like the nearby Maggie Hays mine, recently acquired by Mineral Resources to establish a regional lithium processing hub, underscores its strategic significance.

Dunn highlights the success of the current gold exploration program led by principal geologist Todd Hibberd, who has identified multiple mineralised quartz veins and a significant gold in soil anomaly. This work complements the project’s lithium prospects, with outcropping pegmatites and spodumene detections pointing to large-scale lithium anomalies.

The company is preparing for an upcoming drilling campaign in the June quarter to further explore these targets.

Nevis Brands CEO John Kueber joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's financial results for fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter ending November 30, 2023. Nevis Brands reported revenues of $671,000 for the year, with Cost of Goods Sold amounting to $278,604. For the fourth quarter alone, Nevis generated revenues of $395,876, primarily derived from royalties received from Licensees in five states, while Cost of Goods Sold stood at $134,223.

Kueber expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of the fiscal year, highlighting the significant expenses and charges incurred during the transition from Pascal Biosciences Inc., the company's previous business entity. Notably, Nevis Brands achieved growth in revenues and managed to reduce costs of goods sold in the fourth quarter, signaling positive momentum in its operations.

Furthermore, Kueber emphasized the company's ongoing efforts to expand its revenue streams, particularly in states where Nevis is currently operating. He expressed excitement about the additional revenues expected from licensees that have been secured but have yet to contribute to revenues. Notably, revenues for the fourth quarter did not include contributions from Nevada and California, both of which are now revenue-generating states. Additionally, Michigan and Missouri are anticipated to contribute to revenues in 2024, further bolstering Nevis Brands' financial performance.

Looking ahead, Nevis Brands sees significant growth opportunities for its major brand, not only through expansion into new markets but also through the introduction of new products. Kueber emphasized the potential for diversification beyond beverages into other edible products, underscoring the company's commitment to innovation and market expansion.

In summary, Nevis Brands' financial results for fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter reflect steady progress and positive momentum in its operations. With a strategic focus on revenue growth and product diversification, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the cannabis market and deliver value to its shareholders.
