CoreCard Corp: Confidently Befitting A 'Five Year Double'
Summary CoreCard Corp's (CCRD) partnership with Goldman Sachs for Apple Card processing continues until 2029, despite Goldman's consumer credit retreat. Market undervalues CCRD's extended cash flow from Goldman, reflecting inefficiency in recognizing the company's true worth. CCRD's strong financial health, including no debt and ongoing stock buybacks, positions it well despite potential revenue shifts. Future growth prospects remain robust, with non-Goldman revenue nearing $25M and potential for high-margin expansion and new client enrollments. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Rebooting CoreCard
Summary CoreCard's future is uncertain due to Goldman Sachs ending its Apple Card partnership, which significantly impacts CoreCard's revenue and growth prospects. Despite losing major clients, CoreCard's technology remains robust, and it is actively seeking new strategic customers to mitigate revenue decline. The company remains profitable, generates cash, and is reducing its share count, but faces challenges with declining revenue and potential loss of the GM card business. Analysts project earnings growth and some revenue increase by 2025, but the transition period and client uncertainties pose significant risks.

CoreCard Corporation: Poor Execution And Uncertainty Over The Turnaround
Summary Although CoreCard has solid technology—which is further supported by the clients they serve—my primary worries are with the poor execution of the management and the uncertainty around the turnaround. Because of its reliance on Goldman Sachs, CoreCard has experienced revenue concentration risk, which has resulted in diminishing revenue and profitability. Apart from the above reasons, I am uncomfortable with the 21x EV/EBIT multiple that the company is currently trading at. I rate the company as a hold.

CoreCard: Investing For The Future
Summary CoreCard has made investments to boost growth in the coming years. The company is currently undervalued by approximately 10%. There are some risks to take into account, such as the reliance on Goldman Sachs. At the end of 2021, I wrote an article on CoreCard (CCRD) in which I stated that the company is undervalued and that the company is poised for long-term growth. Since then the stock price (as well as the major indices) has fallen significantly. Recently, I did another deep dive into the company and what I read made me even more confident in the company's growth prospects. In this article, I will explain why I think that the company has positioned itself well for the coming years. The company For people that are unfamiliar with the company, CoreCard is an issuer-processor in the payment network space. An issuer-processor manages card issuance, systems of record, authorize transactions among other things. There are many legacy companies that focus on these tasks but CoreCard's software allows for more customization and is able to process more complicated accounts, for example, it is able to combine multiple loans on one statement, while it is also able to process transactions in various currencies. Key players fintech industry (CoreCard investor presentation) The company sells its solutions in two ways. The first is to get a license and pay for managed services, implementation fees, license tiers (based on the number of accounts), professional services (including customization and operational support), maintenance, and license support. The second option is to become a processing customer. If a customer becomes a processing customer, CoreCard will do the processing for transactions and customers pay for implementation, processing, other services (such as monthly statements), and professional services. Currently, the majority of the company's revenue comes from license customers as the largest program, the Goldman Sachs (GS) Apple (AAPL) credit card, is a license customer. What is refreshing about CoreCard in comparison to other growth stocks is that the company is actually cash flow and EPS positive. The company uses the free cash flow to invest in its business and as I will elaborate on later, hire a substantial amount of new employees. The company needs the majority of these new employees to attract new large programs such as the aforementioned Apple Credit Card. As a result of prudent management and the ability to use its free cash flow for investments the company's debt levels are low with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of -1.8 at the end of Q3 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 7.3%. CCRD Net debt-to-EBITDA (Tikr.com) Another thing that I like about the company is its management team. Leland Strange the CEO of the company has been with the company since 1985, although truth be told the company was focusing on different markets at the time and only made CoreCard the primary business in 2015. Nevertheless, Mr. Strange runs the company responsibly, as the company focuses on delivering a quality service to its shareholders and sometimes has to deny new clients in order to not jeopardize its operation. Additionally, his interests are aligned with shareholders as he owns a significant amount of the outstanding shares (approximately 18%). What has the company been doing over the past year(s)? If you listen to the CoreCard earning calls you hear CEO Leland Strange mention that the company needs to invest significant amounts of capital in order to attract a new large client. He also mentions that they will not take on large clients if they feel that they are not ready, or in other words, they will not add a new large client if they cannot deliver the quality that they are aiming for. For this reason, the company hasn't taken in new large clients but invested a significant amount of money for a company that is the size of CoreCard. They used most of the money to buy new equipment and hire additional employees in their offices abroad located in India, Romania, Colombia, and Dubai. Unfortunately, most of these employees are currently not generating revenue but are merely learning the process from more experienced employees. The company expects that they will be able to add one or two new large programs by fall next year as mentioned in their Q3 earnings call: What about larger opportunities? We fully expect by this time next fall to have either announced or be working on 1 or 2 large programs. They'll either be direct CoreCard, or through current partners such as Goldman, or through new ones currently in discussion stages, brought to us by other current program managers. Headcount CCRD (10Q 2022 Q3, 10K 2021, 10K 2020) Another thing that the company worked on was the American Express (AXP) certification process, which it completed in October of 2022. Later that month the company launched the Simon (SPG) Amex credit card. This gives the company a direct link with the AMEX network and gives it the possibility to also work together on future projects with American Express. While we're on the topic of AMEX, the company was also able to finalize a contract with AMEX to process AMEX Kabbage loans. AMEX Kabbage focuses on providing working capital to (small) businesses. At the Goldman Sachs U.S. Financial Services Conference AMEX mentioned that small business formations were up 23%, which increases the TAM of Kabbage. If AMEX is successful with Kabbage, this will increase the revenues of CoreCard going forward. Valuation Before investing in a stock, it is important to have a general idea about its valuation. Although a company's valuation shouldn't be the only reason that investors invest in a company, valuation can serve as a guideline for when to invest in or divest shares of the company. I prefer to use multiple methods which include a DCF model based on a perpetual growth rate and an exit multiple, as well as a multiples analysis. Discounted cash flows When I make a DCF I like to use multiple scenarios. I use scenarios because making a DCF requires a lot of assumptions. By using scenarios, you can see how the inputs would affect the share price. I use revenue growth as estimated by analysts (data from TIKR) and COGS based on the COGS over the past three years, slightly adjusted based on my expectations. For CoreCard this leads to the following assumptions: DCF inputs (Author) To get the present value, we need to discount the future cash flows to today. To do this, I like to use the weighted average cost of capital ((WACC)) method, which is based on the company's beta, my minimum required rate of return, a risk-free rate (in this case the treasury rates), the company's cost of equity (based on the CAPM), and cost of debt (based on interest payments and value of debt). This leads to the following WACC estimation for CoreCard: WACC estimate (Author) For the perpetuity growth method, I use a perpetual growth rate of 3%. The reason for this is that a company cannot grow faster than GDP in the long run, and over the past decade, the GDP growth rate has averaged 3%. This assumption is important as the majority of the valuation is calculated past the 5-year estimation window. This leads to a target price of $37.17. For the exit multiple, I like to use the average EV/EBITDA of the company. For CoreCard, I used an exit multiple of 10, which is significantly lower than its average of 31 over the past 5 years. I think 10 is a reasonable estimate as the market has significantly changed, the cost of capital has increased and wages (an important input cost for CoreCard), have also increased substantially. This leads to a price target of $42.46. Multiples For the multiples, I like to use the price-to-earnings multiple, as well as the EV/Revenue multiple. In terms of the price-to-earnings multiple, the company's multiple has been very volatile over the past 5 years. The average since going public is 18.22, but I think that this is slightly too low based on the growth prospects of the company. Based on that, I adjusted it upwards to 30, leading to a price target of $30.90 based on 2021's earnings. If we take a look at the company's EV/Revenue, we see that the average over the past 5 years was 7.7x. I think this is slightly on the higher side given that over the past year, the average was closer to 3-4. Based on that I adjust it slightly downward to 5, leading to a price target of $34.03.Seeking Alpha • Jan 23
CoreCard: Potential Buyout
Summary Potential acquisition in the fintech space. Late last year, media reports appeared that Goldman Sachs has expressed interest in acquiring credit card issuance software provider CoreCard. Goldman Sachs, which manages Apple Card, has been CoreCard’s largest customer, accounting for over 70% of the company’s revenues. A buyout might be likely given CoreCard’s relative cheapness amid a substantial growth runway and GS’ continuing focus on card partnerships. Meanwhile, CoreCard’s CEO/founder might be a willing seller here given his large ownership stake. CoreCard (CCRD) is a $279m market cap company providing software, consulting and processing services to credit card issuers. In 2018, the company struck a deal to license its software to Goldman Sachs (GS) which manages the Apple Card. GS has been CCRD’s major customer since then, accounting for over 70% of revenues. In November ’22, WSJ reported that GS expressed interest in acquiring CCRD, among a couple of other fintech software companies. I subsequently highlighted the idea to Special Situation Investing members, noting that an acquisition might be likely. CCRD's share price has jumped 14% since, however, I think the situation is still interesting. Aside from the already existing tight cooperation between GS and CCRD, there are a number of aspects suggesting both sides might potentially come to terms on an acquisition: CCRD seems to be cheap trading at 10x EBITDA. While this is quite a sizable multiple, the company’s current EBITDA is likely significantly below the company’s true earnings power in the long-term. CCRD is a fast-growing company which has compounded its topline at 34% CAGR since 2018 driven by an increase in the number of Apple Card users from 3.3m in 2020 to 6.7m as of early 2022. An increasing growth contribution has come from CCRD’s other partnerships, including the agreement with Cardless to launch a co-branded card with American Express and another partnership to process American Express’ Kabbage loans. It seems, however, that there is substantial further growth runway ahead. CCRD’s management has projected a 20-25% growth rate going forward. This estimate seems reasonable, if not conservative, given several points: Penetration of the Apple Card is still low. For reference, largest credit card provider Chase recorded 149m holders in 2021. The Apple Card - which is currently limited to the US - likely has a TAM north of 50m individuals. The management expects to land 1-2 large customers by the end of 2023 and 3-4 by late 2024. The new customers are expected to come either through Goldman or new partnerships which are apparently already in discussion stages. The American Express partnership will give CCRD direct connection to the American Express network (in addition to Visa and Mastercard). This means that CCRD will be able to process other customers using the American Express network. Likewise, the company does not seem expensive on a relative valuation basis. CCRD currently trades at 3.7x TTM revenues. In comparison, peer Galileo Financial Technologies was acquired by SoFi in 2020 at a 6x revenue multiple. The only publicly-listed competitor Marqeta (MQ) is currently valued at 2.7x TTM revenue. Both companies seem somewhat comparable - not unlike CCRD, MQ has a high customer concentration risk, with 70% of revenues coming from Square. It is worth highlighting, however, that MQ primarily operates in the debit card issuing space as opposed to credit card issuing which is CCRD’s focus. As noted by CCRD’s founder/CEO, credit card issuing is much more sophisticated and less commoditized given tougher regulatory scrutiny and the need for a ledger to keep up with interest charges - CCRD’s CEO during the investor conference in August ’22: I think credit is probably, oh, exponentially 20 times, 30 times more difficult than credit. When you go to the issuing space, you really can talk about three things. You talk about stored value; that's a prepaid card. It can have all kinds of names. It can be a gift card. It can be all sorts of things. But it means the money's in the bank somewhere. And we're simply using a card to allocate the money that's in the bank in some way. […] The interest complexity and the regulatory make it just totally different. It is easy. It's relatively easy to build a software platform that can process stored value or that can process debit. I mean, debit is probably the simplest of all. I think the big difference that we see and the CoreCard takes advantage of is that credit is where people make money. Debit and stored value, you pay money to somebody to keep up with that credit. You've got interest being earned. So therefore, you have a source of funds to pay for the complexity of credit, as opposed to just kind of keeping up with a very simple ledger. Worth noting that MQ has recently entered into the credit card issuing space, however, as noted by CCRD’s CEO, given the complexity inherent in credit card issuance MQ might very well need a number of years to provide offerings on par with those of CCRD. Given CCRD’s highly sophisticated service offering in a market with relatively few suppliers, the business might warrant a significant premium versus the competitor MQ. Aside from MQ and Galileo, the other competitor in the space is i2c.Seeking Alpha • Nov 08
