Non deal road show highlights. This report provides highlights of a non deal road show hosted by Arthur Smith, CEO, to investors in St. Louis last week. Mr. Smith outlined the company’s dual-path of organic growth and a roll-up acquisition strategy. After completing six acquisitions in under 5 years, the company is on a path to achieve a revenue run-rate of $50 million in the medium term. 

Solid business metrics. Mr. Smith indicated a goal to achieve an organic growth rate between 5% and 10% on top of the acquisition-fueled growth. Given the low churn rate of the company’s recent acquisition targets, the overall churn rate is likely to be around a favorable 0.7% in the near term, well below larger peers that lack Digerati’s high-touch customer service. Attracting high-margin recurring revenue streams on multi-year contracts is a competitive advantage for the company….

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Board Unanimously Rejects Unsolicited Offer From Acacia Research Corporation

Research, News, and Market Data on Comtech Telecommunications

 

Proposal Grossly Undervalues Comtech and is Not in the Best Interests of Comtech’s Shareholders

Board Affirms Confidence in Strategy and Long-Term Outlook for the Business

MELVILLE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan. 25, 2022– 
January 25, 2022 — 
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL), a leading global provider of next-generation 911 emergency systems and secure wireless communications technologies, announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously rejected the unsolicited proposal to acquire 
Comtech received from Acacia Research Corporation (Acacia) on 
October 29, 2021.

The Comtech Board of Directors, including the recently appointed members, carefully evaluated the proposal in consultation with the Board’s independent advisors and determined that the proposal grossly undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of Comtech’s shareholders.

The Comtech Board’s unanimous conclusion regarding the inadequacy of Acacia’s proposal is based on the following key considerations:

  • Comtech has made strategic investments in innovative technologies that position the Company to capitalize on large, long-term renewal cycles in the 911 public safety and satellite and space communication markets.
  • Structural changes in these markets are expected to drive significant long-term growth driven by multi-year investment cycles that are well-aligned with Comtech’s core capabilities, products, and services.
  • Comtech is already beginning to see the long-term benefits of these investments and end market trends, which have created a number of large-scale opportunities being pursued by the Company. As such, the Company’s Board and management remain highly confident in Comtech’s long-term business outlook and believe the Company is well positioned to create significant value for its shareholders.

Based on the foregoing considerations, among others, the Board unanimously determined that the non-binding Acacia proposal grossly undervalues the Company, does not reflect the transformational changes underway in the Company’s end-markets and the significant inherent value in the Company’s plan, and, thus, is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Proposal Grossly Undervalues Comtech and is Not in the Best Interests of Comtech’s Shareholders

Board Affirms Confidence in Strategy and Long-Term Outlook for the Business

MELVILLE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan. 25, 2022– 
January 25, 2022 — 
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL), a leading global provider of next-generation 911 emergency systems and secure wireless communications technologies, announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously rejected the unsolicited proposal to acquire 
Comtech received from Acacia Research Corporation (Acacia) on 
October 29, 2021.

The Comtech Board of Directors, including the recently appointed members, carefully evaluated the proposal in consultation with the Board’s independent advisors and determined that the proposal grossly undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of Comtech’s shareholders.

The Comtech Board’s unanimous conclusion regarding the inadequacy of Acacia’s proposal is based on the following key considerations:

  • Comtech has made strategic investments in innovative technologies that position the Company to capitalize on large, long-term renewal cycles in the 911 public safety and satellite and space communication markets.
  • Structural changes in these markets are expected to drive significant long-term growth driven by multi-year investment cycles that are well-aligned with Comtech’s core capabilities, products, and services.
  • Comtech is already beginning to see the long-term benefits of these investments and end market trends, which have created a number of large-scale opportunities being pursued by the Company. As such, the Company’s Board and management remain highly confident in Comtech’s long-term business outlook and believe the Company is well positioned to create significant value for its shareholders.

Based on the foregoing considerations, among others, the Board unanimously determined that the non-binding Acacia proposal grossly undervalues the Company, does not reflect the transformational changes underway in the Company’s end-markets and the significant inherent value in the Company’s plan, and, thus, is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
