Currently, MyFiziq targets four verticals. Health &amp; fitness, as well as medical &amp; insurance sectors, are key near-term opportunities. Corporate wellness and the apparel market are likely to create long-term growth opportunities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"color:#4472C4\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.5pt\">Investment case<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\">By the end of 2018, two-thirds of adults across the globe are expected to own smartphones and are likely to account for 73% of internet consumption. This trend is expected to have a strong impact on the adoption of MyFiziq technology. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\">The growth potential of all the business segments that MyFiziq targets is immensely high. Moreover, the adoption of apps that allow tracking of body shapes and dimensions is on the rise across these segments. We believe that MyFiziq&rsquo;s strategy to focus on these verticals is the best way to realise its potential.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"color:#4472C4\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.5pt\">Valuation range&nbsp;of $0.91&ndash;1.08 per share<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\">We value the company using DCF approach between $0.91-1.08 per share based on base case and optimistic case assumptions, respectively. MyFiziq will derive revenue from Licencing &amp; Development (L&amp;D) fees and subscription revenue targeting B2B client channels.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\">We have followed a conservative approach in assuming number of B2B clients signed during the fiscal year and consumer base per B2B client, across four verticals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\">There could be a potential upside in revenue subject to MyFiziq finalisation of the WeChat transaction currently underway and the immense potential of the China market, which is not accounted for in forecasts due to limited clarity on the deal progress.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the full report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week the report above was released by Pitt Street Research for which FNArena&nbsp;is a partner in distribution.
