Q: Your thoughts and opinion on iFabric given Q1 results and outlook.
5i Research Answer:
IFA is a very small company ($36.7M market cap), and for Q1 it reported sales of $6.8M, representing a growth of 2% year-over-year, and EPS of $0.018 compared to $0.015 in the prior year, representing a 20% increase. Management noted it remains on track to meet its recently announced revenue target of $28 to $32M for FY2024, and its margins increased, benefiting from new programs and a higher gross margin for the quarter. It trades at a 1.6X price-to-sales ratio, although, profitability and cash flows have been lumpy. These were decent results, but the company is small and needs to be considered very high risk.
