One operates in 3 main areas: software services consultancy, IT infrastructure, and business process outsourcing, which produce 55%, 35% and 10% of revenue in 2022.
2022 was a good year, with 18% growth in revenue, 21.6% in net earnings. From the company’s presentation to investors, the last four years have been very good for the company with revenue growth of 224%
Gross profit growth of 209%
Operating income growth of 252%
And net income growth of 249%
The company’s board of directors declared that the company has a dividend policy of distributing up to 66% of the net earnings to shareholders. This policy is still in place.
Looking at some longer-term financials, One Software Technologies has been able to grow its revenue per share from 15.86 IL 44.85 IL in the last 10 years, which is an absolute growth of 182.75% and an average yearly growth rate of 10.95%.
Earning have grown in parallel to revenue, slower initially, and accelerating in the last 4 years. In the last 10 years, earnings per share have grown from 0.76 ILS to 2.28 ILS, a total growth of 218.44% and an average yearly growth rate of 12.28%.
Two things are of interest in this chart. First, the latest growth streak started before the COVID pandemic, which is a good sign that there is not only pandemic-related growth that we must be aware (and beware) of. At the same time, there is a LOT of growth in the years of the pandemic, in which companies had to invest large amounts of money to update their systems and infrastructures to support a secure “hybrid” work model, and a “hybrid” customer model – government offices and healthcare providers in Israel stared serving customers through the internet, and this required investment in the creation of new apps, and modernization to support these apps. I think this growth trend will slow in the coming years, especially if we enter a recession as many economists are predicting of late.
Dividends distributed by One Software Technologies have grown in parallel to the growth in revenue and earnings. In the last 10 years, the company has grown its dividend per share from 0.349 ILS in 2012 to 1.445 ILS in 2020, total growth of 314% and a average yearly growth rate of 15.27%. As I wrote previously., I expect this growth to slow down in the incoming years.
One Software Technologies has a good cash flow to support paying these dividends in the short-term future. And even if there is a slowdown in the economy, many of the contracts that the company has are mid to long term contracts that are expensive to break, so it will take time for this to filter down into the company’s bottom line.
One Software Technologies is currently trading at 37.70 ILS, which gives it a P/E of 16.54 and a trailing dividend yield of 3.8%. If the company can maintain its growth rate, even partially, it looks like a good investment for the future.
