Why iFast' s sell-off might be short-lived

Wed, Feb 16, 2022 - 5:50 AM
UPDATED Wed, Feb 16, 2022 - 5:50 AM
WHEN iFast Corporation' s share price tumbled below S$0.80 in March 2020, amid the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, nobody seemed to realise the wealth management platform was on the brink of becoming one of the hottest growth stocks in the local market.
Before 2020 came to an end, iFast had chalked up a gain of nearly 400 per cent. By September 2021, iFast had risen more than 11 times in value from its March 2020 lows.
What was driving these gains? Quite simply, it was the company' s massive earnings growth.
 
For FY2020, iFast reported a 122.3 per cent jump in earnings to S$21.2 million on a 31.7 per cent increase in net revenue to S$85.9 million. Earlier this week, iFast said its earnings for FY2021 rose 44.8 per cent to S$30.6 million. Its net revenue was up 31.9 per cent to S$113.2 million.
The company has attributed its strong recent growth to its past efforts in building up its wealth management platform. As its assets under administration (AUA) expanded, it benefited from increased operating leverage and sharply stronger earnings.
The company' s AUA grew 31.5 per cent in FY2021 to reach a record high of S$19 billion.

" Reflecting the positive operating leverage of the group' s business model, its profit-before-tax margin increased to 31.6 per cent for FY2021, compared to 29.6 per cent for FY2020," iFast said.
Yet, iFast' s share price has been sagging over the last 4 months. On Tuesday (Feb 15) the stock closed at S$6.09, down 39 per cent from its October 2021 highs and 28 per cent lower than it was at the beginning of this year.
Acquisition, capital raising
One reason for this correction is that iFast had garnered eye-watering valuations during its big run-up. Even at its current price, the company has a market capitalisation of nearly S$1.8 billion - about 58 times its FY2021 earnings.
The company' s quarterly financial performance has also been uneven. Its quarterly earnings over the last 2 years peaked at S$8.8 million in Q1 FY2021, while its quarterly revenue hit a high of S$30.3 million in Q3 FY2021.
For Q4 FY2021, the company reported a 6.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline in revenue to S$28.2 million, and a 5.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter fall in earnings to S$7.2 million.
The company has also begun to use its elevated market value to raise funds for strategic initiatives, raising concerns about dilution and near-term earnings risks.
On Jan 7, iFast said it would acquire 85 per cent of UK-based BFC Bank in a move to build a " truly global" business model. The plan is for iFast to use the bank as a vehicle to offer its Asia clients the concept of " banking as a service" or BaaS, and make its wealth management platform more compelling.
All in, iFast is to invest £ 40 million (approximately S$73.4 million) - comprising an acquisition amount of £ 25 million and a capital injection of £ 15 million.
The company expects the UK bank - which recorded £ 2.2 million in losses for the first 9 months of 2021 - to contribute some start-up losses in 2022 and 2023.
On Jan 10, iFast raised more than S$100 million through a placement of 14 million new shares priced at S$7.50 each to fund the acquisition of the UK bank and its own working capital needs.
Acceleration in growth?
The correction in iFast' s share price could be an opportunity for investors though. For starters, iFast has a strong track record of expanding its business into new fields. Founded in 2000, the group began by selling unit trust funds to investors via an online platform.
Today, iFast offers access to 14,000 financial products. The bulk of its AUA now comes from some 550 financial advisory firms and financial institutions that use its platform.
The group is also moving towards providing customisable fintech solutions to clients and partners.
Over the next few years, iFast is guiding for very strong growth. The group is targeting to grow its AUA to S$100 billion by 2028 - or at a compound annual rate of 27 per cent from its current AUA base.
The group also expects to dramatically expand its business in Hong Kong over the course of 2023 to 2025. A key driver of this expansion is its new ePension division, which is expected to generate a strong recurring stream of fee income from 2023.
The company said last year that its overall Hong Kong business could chalk up net revenue of HK$800 million (approximately S$138 million) in 2024, and HK$1.2 billion in 2025. To put that in context, iFast' s Hong Kong business contributed S$24.4 million to the group' s total net revenue of S$113.2 million in FY2021.
The company said in a presentation deck this week that this guidance is actually conservative as it assumes delays in the rollout of the ePension project that might not occur. It added that it will " revisit" the guidance later this year.
Much like the correction iFast suffered in March 2020, the current dip might soon come to an end as the group' s earnings continue to surge higher.

Yet, iFast' s share price has been sagging over the last 4 months. On Tuesday (Feb 15) the stock closed at S$6.09, down 39 per cent from its October 2021 highs and 28 per cent lower than it was at the beginning of this year.
Acquisition, capital raising
One reason for this correction is that iFast had garnered eye-watering valuations during its big run-up. Even at its current price, the company has a market capitalisation of nearly S$1.8 billion - about 58 times its FY2021 earnings.
The company' s quarterly financial performance has also been uneven. Its quarterly earnings over the last 2 years peaked at S$8.8 million in Q1 FY2021, while its quarterly revenue hit a high of S$30.3 million in Q3 FY2021.
For Q4 FY2021, the company reported a 6.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline in revenue to S$28.2 million, and a 5.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter fall in earnings to S$7.2 million.
The company has also begun to use its elevated market value to raise funds for strategic initiatives, raising concerns about dilution and near-term earnings risks.
On Jan 7, iFast said it would acquire 85 per cent of UK-based BFC Bank in a move to build a " truly global" business model. The plan is for iFast to use the bank as a vehicle to offer its Asia clients the concept of " banking as a service" or BaaS, and make its wealth management platform more compelling.
All in, iFast is to invest £ 40 million (approximately S$73.4 million) - comprising an acquisition amount of £ 25 million and a capital injection of £ 15 million.
The company expects the UK bank - which recorded £ 2.2 million in losses for the first 9 months of 2021 - to contribute some start-up losses in 2022 and 2023.
On Jan 10, iFast raised more than S$100 million through a placement of 14 million new shares priced at S$7.50 each to fund the acquisition of the UK bank and its own working capital needs.
Acceleration in growth?
The correction in iFast' s share price could be an opportunity for investors though. For starters, iFast has a strong track record of expanding its business into new fields. Founded in 2000, the group began by selling unit trust funds to investors via an online platform.
Today, iFast offers access to 14,000 financial products. The bulk of its AUA now comes from some 550 financial advisory firms and financial institutions that use its platform.
The group is also moving towards providing customisable fintech solutions to clients and partners.
Over the next few years, iFast is guiding for very strong growth. The group is targeting to grow its AUA to S$100 billion by 2028 - or at a compound annual rate of 27 per cent from its current AUA base.
The group also expects to dramatically expand its business in Hong Kong over the course of 2023 to 2025. A key driver of this expansion is its new ePension division, which is expected to generate a strong recurring stream of fee income from 2023.
The company said last year that its overall Hong Kong business could chalk up net revenue of HK$800 million (approximately S$138 million) in 2024, and HK$1.2 billion in 2025. To put that in context, iFast' s Hong Kong business contributed S$24.4 million to the group' s total net revenue of S$113.2 million in FY2021.
The company said in a presentation deck this week that this guidance is actually conservative as it assumes delays in the rollout of the ePension project that might not occur. It added that it will " revisit" the guidance later this year.
Much like the correction iFast suffered in March 2020, the current dip might soon come to an end as the group' s earnings continue to surge higher.
