Pushpay Holdings Ltd (ASX: PPH)
Pushpay is an ASX tech share that provides two main services. It processes billions of dollars of electronic donations for churches around the US. Pushpay also has church management software.
Management of the business deliberately chose software that was the best for clients and was also scalable for Pushpay. This is leading to higher profit margins for Pushpay as it gets bigger and bigger.
In FY21, operating revenue increased by 40% to US$179.1 million. But net profit went up 95% to US$31.2 million and operating cashflow jumped 95% to US$31.2 million.
The ASX share is always on the lookout to find ways to grow organically and also with acquisitions. The effort to expand in the Catholic sector is one area of growth.
But the latest news is that Pushpay has acquired Resi Media. This business is described as a US-based, market-leading streaming provider which services more than 70% of the Outreach 100 largest churches in the US.
Management say that Resi Media will broaden Pushpay's core product offering, enhance the value proposition, maintain its position at the forefront of innovation in the faith sector, accelerate growth and add high margin software as a service (SaaS) revenue.
Resi Media supposedly has a large addressable market across all church segments, non-profit organisations and other verticals. Pushpay believes that there are material synergy opportunities through product cross-selling and integration with Pushpay's sales and marketing engine.
According to CommSec, the Pushpay share price is valued at 26x FY23's estimated earnings.
