JDC Group — Operational leverage becoming visible

14/04/2025

JDC Group’s (JDC’s) final FY24 results were in line with the preliminary numbers published on 10 March. FY24 growth was driven by the platform Advisortech division, but Advisory activities were also strong. Management provided FY25 guidance for revenue of €245–265m and EBITDA of €18.5–20.5m, along with mid-term guidance of €450–500m in turnover and EBITDA of €40–50m by 2030, which we see as both realistic and conservative. With an FY25e EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.7x, JDC’s valuation still appears undemanding, particularly compared to platform peers. Our discounted cash flow (DCF) values JDC at €34.56/share (from €34.04/share previously).

Management provided FY25 guidance of €245–265m in revenue and EBITDA of €18.5–20.5m, as well as mid-term guidance of €450–500m turnover with EBITDA of €40–50m by 2030.

JDC Group — On track to reach high-end FY24 sales guidance

18/11/2024

After two quarters of >20% y-o-y revenue growth, JDC Group (JDC) has benefited from strong tailwinds in Q324 as well. Revenue growth of 36% in the quarter was partly driven by the acquisition of Top Ten, but mostly by strong Insurance, investment and banks activities. Q424 is also expected to be strong and JDC indicated that the high end of FY24 revenue guidance of €205–220m is well within reach. FY24 EBITDA guidance is in the range of €14.5–16.0m (FY23: €11.7m). After raising our estimates with the H124 results, we make no further changes. Our discounted cash flow provides a valuation of €34.0/share.
