Description
Finsur provides independent analysis of European and international device lifecycle companies using filed accounts and primary research. This report is based on the FY2025 accounts of Alchemy Telco Solutions, one of the largest private operators in smart device trading and collections globally, with processing facilities across five continents and a Macquarie Capital-backed ownership structure.
FY2025 was a year in which operating leverage arrived at the bottom line in textbook fashion. The more instructive question is what the balance sheet, the auditor change and the capital structure evolution signal about what comes next. This report works through both, and the valuation and strategic outlook section addresses the exit optionality directly.
Key findings from the Company Analysis: Alchemy Telco Solutions FY2025 include:
- Revenue growth was double-digit, but the more significant story is what happened below the top line. Gross profit, EBITDA and net profit all grew at multiples of the revenue rate, with profit for the year achieving a figure that would not have looked credible two years ago.
- The inventory position that dominated the FY2024 analysis unwound in FY2025 without margin penalty. The report examines the provision rate movement and what it implies about stock quality through the cycle.
- The balance sheet closed the year debt-free with cash at a level that makes it structurally M&A-ready without external capital. The report identifies the specific transactions that drove the transformation.
- KPMG replacing BDO as auditor, an active employee share option plan and a multi-class share structure are three data points that, taken together, point in a consistent direction.
- Valuation analysis suggesting $400m to $500m implied equity value at a central case of $450m, anchored on Genstar’s entry multiple at Likewize and cross-referenced against adjacent transaction comparables.
- The strategic outlook section identifies three distinct exit or acceleration paths, names the specific operators whose situations intersect most directly with Alchemy’s current position, and assesses which path is most internally consistent with the FY2025 signals.
