12 July 2016 Special Situations Pure Technologies Ltd. Introducing Pure as Top Pick for H216 PUR-TSX: $5.95 Buy $7.25 Target We are pleased to introduce Pure Technologies ( PUR, Pure, or the Company ) as one of Echelon Wealth Partners research top picks for H216. Investment Thesis: As we expanded in our initiation note (initiating note - April 12, 2016), we see the recent share price weakness (down 31% from its March 2015 high) as an opportunity to consolidate a position in a dominant player supported by industry tailwinds. We attribute the underperformance to lacklustre results through 2015 marked by various concerns, namely the postponement of several anticipated large projects, combined with a temporary slowdown in the recently acquired Wachs Water Services ( WWS or Wachs ) core business, resulting in revenue that was below expectations with consequent margin compression; we view these as short-term and non-recurring issues that have no bearing on our long-term bullish thesis. We urge investors to shrug off the short-term disappointments in favour of the long-term business fundamentals. Given the lumpy nature of the business quarter to quarter, we take a longer-term view when evaluating the merits of an investment in Pure. Namely, in our Target Scenario we see revenue CAGR of 21.4% through 2018 together with considerable operating leverage, driving an impressive 38.8% EBITDA CAGR during the same period. We believe that the Company has a dominant position in a high barrier to entry business, helping sustain its revenue growth and margin profile going forward. Catalysts and Drivers: We believe share performance will be driven by the Company s quarterly execution in light of last year s missteps. Specifically, we look for: Strong organic growth performance, specifically in Q316 and Q416: We look for 20%+ organic growth rates in the latter quarters of the year (5% ahead of Street estimates) confirming continued traction at PureHM and a turnaround of WWS performance. Q116 sales at PureHM were $4.7M, up from $1.4M last year driven by increased work in the US and increased product acceptance for both the Spectrum XLI and SmartBall technologies for the oil and gas sector. Wachs performance seems to have stabilized in Q116 with revenues coming in at $4.2M ($4.3M in Q415), which should come as a relief to investors. We now look for Wachs to contribute to growth. Considerable margin expansion from current levels: Given the high fixed structure, the second half of the year seasonality imbedded in the business, and good cost control, we see considerable operating leverage going forward. Namely, our Adjusted EBITDA margin expands from 4.4% in Q116 to 21.4% in Q416. We believe delivery of such results will go a long way in restoring the Company s premium valuation. Valuation: Pure trades at 11x 2017 EBITDA. Our $7.25 PT implies a 2017 EBITDA multiple of 13x, below the Company s historical forward multiple of 14x. Given the significant operating leverage and the long-term secular growth trends Pure is exposed to, we opt for a DCF analysis with an 11% discount rate and a 4% GRIP (implied exit multiple of 7.5x) to derive our valuation. Our bullish thesis is supported by robust downside protection (-27%) relative to attractive upside potential (24% for our target case and 57% for our upside case).
