Partnership with BVB to increase reach
Topic: NAGA recently entered into a sponsoring partnership with Borussia
Dortmund for the current and upcoming Bundesliga season. In detail:
Having entered into this cooperation, NAGA is now one of the official
partner of BVB. With that, NAGA received exclusive rights to use the team's
BVB partner logo on multiple markets, and the rights to use club players'
image in branding materials. Additionally, NAGA's brand will be present on
the LED advertising boards at home matches on Borussia's stadium Signal
Iduna Park. With that, NAGA intends to power-up its brand awareness in
Germany, which is it most important core market and attract new target
groups. As BVB is also playing Champions League, the cooperation should
additionally increase brand awareness in other important global regions.
In our view, this is a sensible sponsoring partnership as BVB has not only a
huge global fan community but is also enjoying high sympathy ratings from
fans of other clubs. The price per year is expected to be rather moderate
with below EUR 1m (eNuW) and should be already considered in the marketing
budget for this and next year.
In a bigger picture, the cooperation with BVB is just another piece that is
paving the way towards the vision for 2026 of USD 250m in sales and 40%
EBITDA. While we consider this vision as rather optimistic, the past has
already shown that an incremental positive change in the sentiment could
have an enormous effect on the P&L of NAGA. The leverage of the joint Group
could even scale this effect. Still, in our base case scenario we
conservatively only anticipating EUR 90m in sales and an EBITDA of EUR 19m (22%
EBITDA margin), leaving room for positive surprises. Looking into 2024,
estimated 15.9m transactions on the back of a slowly revitalizing retail
brokerage space should lift sales to EUR 71.8m, assuming an avg revenue per
trade of EUR 5.0. Synergy effects and ongoing disciplined spending are
expected to additionally drive EBITDA that we see at EUR 11.5m.
Overall, the revitalization of customer activity in the brokerage space,
paired with cross-selling and synergy effects arising from the merger should
fuel NAGAŽs growth. Details on the growth plan will be presented during our
roundtable, today at 10am CEST.
BUY with an unchanged PT of EUR 1.20 based on DCF
