Summary
Water Ways Technologies (WWT.V) has yet again been re-valued in the past nine months going from a baseline of $0.12 cents, to a support level (s1) of $0.25 cents, eventually all the way up to a resistance point (S1) of $0.35 cents.
Earnings
As of Q3 2021, YTD revenue already exceeded FY2020. Most of the Service revenues returned to FY 2018 levels.
Note that Q1 and Q3 revenues were considerably stronger than Q3 2021. However, Q3 2021 revenues were lower and the net loss larger. As of Q3 2021, WWT.V was in a strong cash position ($4.37M)
Orders
Eight announcements were made in the period representing $3.95M. The majoritiy were for Blueberry and Canabis crops. WWT.V also receive orders for Passion Fruit, Cherries, Apples, Grapes, Mangoes and Vegetables.
Financing
Closed oversubscribed placement at $4.4M at $0.12 cents (warrants $0.18 cents) via 33M shares issuance (July 2021).
Appointments
Two major personel appointments were released in the last period: i) Mr. Dor Sneh as Chief Financial Officer (August 2021), and ii) Mr. Nitin Kaushal and Mr. Daniel Bloch to Board of Director (January 2022).
Listing
August 2021, Water Ways Technologies was listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing. Dr Reuter (September) and North Equities (November) were made subsequently appointed for investor relations purposes.
Acquisition
Last week, Hidrotop was acquired. Hidrotop is an irrigation and hydraulic engineering operating in the agricultural and mining industries in Chile and Argentina. Hidrotop has installed over 30,000 hectares of irrigation projects and is well versed in automation and remote systems administration.
In Short
Earning and valuation was exceptional YTD 2021. Indeed, Covid-19 restrictions easing were a factor.
Q3 2021 MD&A nine month period: ...The increase in revenues was mainly attributed to emerging markets effect following the Coronavirus impact. In most territories in which the Company operates, the Coronavirus restrictions on civilian movement, transit, and closed borders were lifted and enabled the Company finalize projects and receive new order.
YTD 2021 record revenues were also driven from Uzbekistan $4M record order; the largest in the company's history.
Q3 2021 MD&A: Revenues from service projects for the nine months period ended September 30, 2021, amounted to $6,405 compared to $1,651 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2020. The increase is mainly attributed to the Company's two major projects in Uzbekistan with total amount of $4,000.
This explains the revenue performance in Q1 and Q2 2021 and relatively fair revenues in Q 3 2021. No doubt, Q3 2021, Year over Year (YoY) revenues were higher than Q3 2020. However, compared to Q3 2019 depicts a different story.
Going forward, it will be important that Water Ways Technology provide backlog numbers. While the Canadian subsidiary numbers were provided in December 2021 ($4.1M), getting all of the subsidiaries backlog will be helpful.
Nonetheless. Hydrotop's acquisition (Chile, Argentina) extends WWT.V subsidiaries (Israel, China, Canada, & Uraguay). In constrast, the cost accounts for a significant portion of the WWT.V's cash CAD$4.7M balance as of Q3 2021.
WWT will pay an aggregate acquisition price of US$3,500,000, upon closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing“) consisting of: (i) a one-time cash payment equal to US$2,000,000; and (ii) issue 5,686,364 common shares in the capital of Water Ways (the “Subject Shares“) at a deemed price per Subject Share of CDN$0.33,
On one hand, the Uzbekistan revenues have been accounted for and a slower growth rate was reflected in Q3 earnings. On the other hand, the Hydrotop acquistion can be a catalyst going forward but needs to be paid for not only in cash (US $2.0M) but in shares (5.6M at $0.33 cents). Hence, the current resistance (R1 $0.35 cents) encountered makes sense.
