Superclick - Big Progress Under the Radar.
For
the most part, SmallCap stocks tend to be about promising potential. Superclick
(OTCBB:
SPCK) is all about delivering the goods.
Make no mistake as to import of the
company's announcement (release below) regarding its preferred Internet
supplier deal with Europe's premier integrator of video and high speed
Internet solutions, Locatel. Servicing in excess of 2000 hotels and 1000
hospitals and clinics, Locatel is in the business of providing first-class
IP infrastructure to its customers. Superclick's Internet Management Solution
(SIMS) is now a key part of that explosive business.
This deal is a huge win for Superclick
and ultimately for its shareholders.
What's a Locatel? From the release:
Locatel is the leading French
supplier of audiovisual and interactive screen-based services to the European
hospitality and healthcare markets. The company currently services more
than 2,000 hotels and 1,000 hospitals and clinics.
We
continue to suggest accumulation at these levels for risk-oriented investors.
Since we Alerted
the readership to Superclick in February at 46 cents, the shares have moved
in fairly measured fashion to return almost 75 percent, so far, as the
shares trade in the 80-cent range. Since February, although the shares
have hit $1.16 in the interim, they subsequently corrected with the rest
of the market to find themselves at today's level--still well above our
initial Alert price. While impressed with SPCK's progress, we'd like to
see a break above 93 cents to reconfirm the bullish trend seen earlier
in the summer. And we may well, soon.
We firmly believe that the
quality of the deals announced over the past few months as well as the
potential to increase 2003 revenue of $650,000 more than four-fold for
fiscal 2004 (as at October 31st) are compelling reasons to initiate or
continue accumulation of the shares.
Over the past months, Superclick
has inked deals with behemoth Verizon and Locatel, as well as some significant
others. Revenue guidance for fiscal 2004 has been raised, I believe, three
times to the current range of between $2.6 to $2.75 million. I couldn't
put it better than comments made by Chairman Todd Pitcher in a recent press
release:
"The exceptional growth we continue
to see is due to strong execution by our management team, the Verizon reseller
relationship maturing into a meaningful percentage of our channel sales,
and the widening acceptance of our Superclick Internet Management System
(SIMS(tm)) as ''best in class`` within the hospitality market place".
The complete October 14th revised
guidance release is here: http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/041014/65580.html
Now, the company can add the impressive
and, we believe, lucrative Locatel agreement to that claim--as well as
the exciting Caribbean business foray we covered on September
23rd. Given the company's progress to date, we believe that
it is reasonable to assume more deals will be announced over the coming
weeks and months.
Temper our excitement...
As good and profitable as the Verizon
(NYSE:
VZ) deal is, I'm frankly more excited by Friday's announcement.
Locatel is even more focused in Superclick's core markets and also brings
SPCK strong exposure to the massive healthcare sector. Europe is also a
far bigger tourist market than the US and Internet access penetration is
less than 10 percent, woefully below even the low penetration in the US.
At 38 percent of global hotel capacity, Europe represents the largest hospitality
sector of the six world tourism regions
I've noticed over the months that
while Superclick's customers always mention the robustness of the technology,
they also make a point of pointing out the complete, turnkey nature of
the solution. While Internet access is the goal for customers, more important
is the 24/7/365 management, profitability and cost savings afforded by
Superclick. As well, the continuous addition of critical features,
options and upgrades continually earn 'best in class' plaudits from those
same customers.
One has to be impressed with Superclick's
progress over the last few months. The enigma for me is that the company
has been slow to blip onto investors' radar screens. No matter, as that
represents an advantage for the SmallCap readership and especially those
who have been accumulating shares since February.
Being in position as the profile
of the company grows will undoubtedly pay those risk-oriented investors
who saw the potential early. And in light of Friday's announcement, accumulation
is still warranted.
If the company can deliver these
kinds of goods in a scant few months, no telling how well the shares will
do by this time next year. Superclick has a history of not sitting on its
laurels.
Unlike a lot of its SmallCap peers--not
including, of course, the great companies that SmallCap Digest follows--Superclick's
management continuously delivers both for the company and its shareholders.
As I've said before, the company
deserves--and will ultimately receive--way more investor attention.
Leading European VOD Integrator
Selects Superclick for High Speed Internet Access Solutions
Thursday December 2,
4:10 pm ET
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.,
Dec. 2, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superclick, Inc. (OTC
BB:SPCK.OB - News), a technology leader in IP infrastructure solutions
to the hospitality industry, today announced an agreement with Locatel,
France's leading integrator of video and high-speed Internet solutions,
whereby Superclick will be Locatel's preferred High Speed Internet supplier
to its customer hotels. Locatel currently provides a range of services
to more than 2,000 hotels and 1,000 hospitals and clinics throughout Europe.
Locatel will OEM Superclick's SIMS Gateway server and provide it to its
customer base as Locatel Internet High Speed Access (LIHSA).
``After extensive evaluation
of Superclick's Internet Management System (SIMS), we have concluded that
Superclick provides the most robust solution in the market'' said Guillaume
Deguerry, Export Director for Locatel. ``It performed extremely well in
all respects, has the most comprehensive management and reporting capabilities
and helps our customers leverage their IP infrastructure investment through
the addition of revenue generating IP services such as their Voice over
IP Teleconference service.''
Superclick will provide
Locatel with its SIMS Visitor Based Network servers and provide Locatel's
customers with 24/7/365 guest support services over Superclick's VoIP solution.
IP based services such as Superclick's announced in-hotel printing and
VoIP audio-teleconferencing, among others under development, can now be
offered to Locatel's customers as a result of this agreement.
``We are very happy to
have Locatel, a leading European company in the hospitality industry, as
our premier partner in Europe'' said John Glazik, Superclick's President
and CEO. ``Less than 10% of Europe's hotels are equipped with High Speed
Internet Access which makes it one of the most important markets over the
next several years. Our solution will enable Locatel to provide its customers
with the best IP infrastructure management solution available.''
According to European-based
research firm EHLITE, Europe retains by far the greatest hotel capacity
of the six worldwide tourism regions, as defined by the WTO, with about
6.2 million rooms (an estimated 38% of the total).
