Tungsten Co. (L:TUNG) aims to transform its business in the next two years, to achieve EBITDA break-even on a run-rate basis by the end of FY17, from losses of £24.8m in FY15, by turning around its loss-making e-invoicing network business, selling its loss-making bank and reducing one-off costs in its other activities. In the key e-invoicing division it intends to reprice its services to the buyers on the network, increase the number of suppliers and re-engineer its processes to achieve the operational gearing potentially inherent in this activity. It believes that it now has sufficient funding to see the group through to break-even after raising £16.7m (net) in May 2015 and the proposed sale of its bank for c £30m. There is a great deal of uncertainty around forecasting, but if Tungsten can increase buyer prices and supplier numbers as intended and control costs, it could achieve EBITDA break-even by the end of FY17 on a run-rate basis.
