ThinkPath's on the right
path: New contracts announced.
On Wednesday morning, Toronto-based
ThinkPath (THTHF: OTCBB) Inc announced two new contracts totaling US$1
million with existing clients; defense company Lockheed Martin (LMT: NYSE)
and Hill Rom, the patient care and handling subsidiary of healthcare giant
Hillenbrand Industries (HB: NYSE).
Thinkpath is to provide technical
publishing services that will digitize documents and engineering product
designs. The company's expertise will enhance production and achieve meaningful
cost savings for its customers.
Today's press release evidences an
ongoing program to solidify ThinkPath's position as a market leader in
engineering knowledge management. With its shares presently trading at
the 4-5 cent level, the potential for an upward move to the 10-cent or
higher realm becomes increasingly likely as ThinkPath acquires new financing,
grows its business and significantly reduces costs and debt. For traders
and investors who wish to participate while the company's long-term prospects
are brightening, a purchase at this level--while decidedly speculative--
could provide decent returns over time.
Returning Customers
Lockheed Martin and Hill Rom have
been ThinkPath customers for several years. This deepening of client relationships
speaks to "Thinkpath's dedication to ensuring the most innovative and advanced
IT and Engineering Management solutions [which] has proven to be a valuable
competitive advantage within the market place" according to Chairman and
CEO Declan French.
ThinkPath has expertise in a wide
range of engineering disciplines and can be tasked to upgrade current projects
as well as develop, design and execute a next generation application or
system. ThinkPath will provide professionals who can work onsite at the
client location or the company will act as an outsource contractor-significantly
enhancing time-to-market and cutting costs.
1Q Profit on the Horizon
Revenues for 2003 will likely come
close to 2002 number of US$27 million-perhaps higher-and reach profitability--
which French feels will begin this first quarter, ending March 31st. Forty
percent of corporate revenues come from business with existing clients
and ThinkPath is the engineering management company of choice for many
large and Fortune 100 companies, including, among others, Merrill Lynch,
Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Morgan Stanley, Sybase and Qwest
Communications.
The company expects to announce new
customers and contracts in the near future.
ThinkPath: In the right places.
Buoyed by the deeper relationship
with Lockheed Martin, ThinkPath intends to bid on contracts relevant to
the $250 billion deal recently announced by the US Government for the development
of the Joint Strike Force fighter. Over the life of this multi-decade opportunity,
ThinkPath sees many applications for its engineering services, such as
technological solutions and services in engineering knowledge management
including design, drafting, technical publishing, e-learning and staffing.
Hill Rom is the largest subsidiary
of Hillenbrand Industries, contributing US$1.1 billion of the parent company's
US$2 billion in revenue for 2001. French sees more opportunities with Hill
Rom as well. Given that both the defense and healthcare verticals are among
the most robust in terms of capital spending in the current economic slowdown,
ThinkPath is wisely allying itself with customers and industries that are
insulated from the vagaries evident in the high tech market at large.
Judging by the recent financing (December
2002) and a profitable quarter on the horizon, ThinkPath's turnaround is
well underway. Annual revenues are running at more than ten times its current
market cap of US$2.2 million. In light of the expected US military buildup,
ThinkPath is well positioned to win both new contracts and more business
from existing clients in that vertical, as well as the myriad of others
in which it has influence.
