PhonePOS rollout is starting right now; chg

Topic: After Rubean 1) solved its liquidity issues, 2) finally published
its FY22 figures that were in line with expectations and 3) announced
several promising partnerships, we are more optimistic that the rollout of
POS is starting right now and should have the potential to ramp-up sales.

Liquidity issues off the table for now. Several capital increases
throughout 2023 that amount to an aggregated EUR 3.7m, as well as an
increased debt position of EUR 4.9m (eNuW) should secure the liquidity for
the short term. Yet, as the company's equity remains negative at EUR -3.6m,
we would expect additional capital increases to be in the cards.

FY22 sales came in at EUR 0.8m (+26% yoy) with EBIT of EUR -4.0m (vs. EUR -4.1m
in FY21). While sales was bang in line with estimates (eNuW: EUR 0.8m) EBIT
was slightly better than anticipated (eNuW: EUR -4.3m), thanks to lower
personnel and other operating costs.

Promising customer wins. While we consider FY23e as a transition year that
was mainly characterized by the delayed product rollout, which should
result in sales of only c. EUR 1.0m (eNuW +17% yoy) and a negative EBIT to
the tune of EUR 3.6m, promising recently announced partnerships with i.e.
Correos in Spain and emerchantspay, should ramp-up sales in FY24e and
beyond. Importantly, with Correos (12k devices already in use, further 15k
should follow in January), Rubean is not only earning a monthly license fee
per user, but is also participating in every transaction, executed via the
software.

POS roll-out to ramp-up sales. In numbers, we expect sales of EUR 2.9m and an
EBIT of EUR -1.6m for FY24e. Mind you, that these estimates can be seen as
rather conservative, as we have only considered growing sales with signed
customers. As RubeanŽs leading softPOS product is ready for rollout,
further new customer wins and partnerships are in the cards and could
further lift sales. Thanks to the SaaS model, scalability should kick-in
quickly. Operating break-even should be hence reached within FY25. As said,
with new customer-wins that are likely, the break-even could be achieved
even earlier.

To reflect delays of the rollout, we cut FY23e and beyond. As the product
rollout is in full swing, we expect the hypergrowth to start right now.
Positive surprises to our rather conservative estimates are likely.

We reiterate BUY with a reduced PT of EUR 8.00, based on our DCF.
