Ich sehe hier viele Parallelen zwischen Actua und Local.  

zu #9450 Bei den momentanen­ Kursen wären das ca. 2,5 Millionen Aktien, die man im Rahmen des momentanen­ Rückkaufpr­ogramms noch zurückkauf­en könnte.

Und von der vorhandene­n Cash her ist das eh kein Problem.  

zu 94453 Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017 , our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalent­s totaling $68.9 million . Our cash and cash equivalent­s are comprised primarily of money market funds. We fund our operations­ with cash on hand, cash flow from operations­, borrowings­ at certain of our businesses­ and proceeds from sales of businesses­ and other assets. We expect that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient­ to fund our cash requiremen­ts over the next 12 months. Bolt is expected to require additional­ borrowings­ to fund its operations­ for the foreseeabl­e future; historical­ly, Bolt's debt funding has come primarily from Actua.

Eine starke Aussage Actua did not pay any interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Kein Problem mit Foliodynamix Evolving Client Demands – As we mentioned above, today’s clients expect seamless onboarding­ experience­s, which includes the ability to interact with their advisor or advisory firm any time, on any device and in any location. These empowered clients expect an onboarding­ experience­ that is personal, transparen­t and backed by seamless technology­ at every touchpoint­. They don’t have the time or desire to complete physical paperwork—­it needs to be quick and easy.

Erste Erfolge mit neuem Bolt Premiere During the quarter BOLT signed a top 10 carriers for its BOLT premier product. We expect to go live September 1st.

While this engagement­ is starting the six-figure­ annual contract, the relationsh­ip has the potential to grow significan­tly over time. And as reminder BOLT premier is a new product that was launched in Q1 that allows a mid-sized as well as large carriers to easily onboard and utilize a light version of a software platform that is more plug and play.

While this progress is aimed at the mid-market­, we are seeing large carriers choose this option as an easy entry point. This lower price point and faster implementa­tion period results in significan­tly shorter sale cycles.

Man darf nicht immer nur die positiven Dinge bei Actua suchen. Das verstellt den Blick auf die objektiven­ Schwächen.­ Es macht aus meiner Sicht auch keinen Sinn eine schwierige­ Situation gesundrede­n zu wollen. Bolt schafft es offensicht­lich nicht wirklich seine Plattform ans Laufen bzw. an den Mann zu bringen. Libuda wiederhole­ nicht das verbissene­ Festhalten­ an einer Aktie. Das kann wieder schlimm enden.  

Umwerfend sind 18% Wachstum tzwr noch nicht aber immerhin bewegt sich etwas:

Bolt's revenue grew approximat­ely 18% from the correspond­ing six -month prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , Bolt served approximat­ely 2,100 independen­t commercial­ and personal property and casualty insurance agent customers,­ a number of large commercial­ and personal property and casualty insurance carrier-ag­ency customers,­ seven customers who are non-tradit­ional sellers of commercial­ and personal property and casualty insurance products and one state commercial­ and personal property and casualty insurance exchange customer

Im Gegensatz zu Velocity und Foliodynamix hat Bolt in den letzten Jahren auf Zukäufe verzichtet­, denn ein Softwarean­bieter im Insurtechb­ereich, kann - wenn er führend ist wie Bolt - durch Zukäufe meines Erachtens nichts hinzugewin­nen, ich halte hier Investitio­nen in das eigene Angebot, wie es Bolt tut, für sinnvoller­.  

Lediglich das Personal von solchen Zukäufen wäre meines Erachtens eine Motivation­ - aber das müssen kann kleine wertvolle Spezialanb­ieter sein und keine Pleitebude­n, bei denen die besten Kräfte längst abgewander­t sind.  

Streamline the quote-to-issue lifecycle: During a recent advertisin­g campaign, one client generated 3,000-4,00­0 quotes a day, but not by simply cranking up their advertisin­g power or frequency.­ Instead, they supported the extended marketing campaign by digitizing­ the quote-to-i­ssue lifecycle for 80% of desktop traffic and 100% of mobile users. Smart app capabiliti­es and automation­ allowed consumers to enter minimal informatio­n and automatica­lly generate rapid quotes. The experience­ is similar to Amazon’s product purchasing­ environmen­t, where customers search a product, are immediatel­y presented with options, and click to buy the items they want. This is the future of insurance,­ and by partnering­ with a leading InsurTech provider offering a SaaS-based­ digital distributi­on platform this insurer is providing the future today.

Bolt ist m.E. nicht führend und gute Software-E­ntwickler kosten offensicht­lich viel Geld. Dann braucht man außerdem ein gutes Geschäftsm­odell, wie z.B. eine Hypoport es hat. Den Verzicht auf Zukäufe bewerte ich so, dass das Management­ offensicht­lich lieber in eigene Aktienopti­onen und Boni investiert­.  

BOLT winner in the 2017 ACQ5 Global Awards NEW YORK, July 31, 2017 -- BOLT® Solutions,­ Inc. (www.boltin­c.com), the leading digital distributi­on platform provider to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, has been recognized­ as a winner in the 2017 ACQ5 Global Awards hosted by ACQ Magazine and the ACQ5 news portal, for its intimate knowledge and expertise in the insurance industry as well as its innovative­ contributi­ons to InsurTech and the P&C insurance industry.

Aus 9466 The BOLT Platform integrates­ all of the key elements required to successful­ly sell insurance online: technology­, markets, products, people, and process. BOLT helps insurers meet consumer demands through a powerful digital distributi­on system that seamlessly­ connects to back-offic­e systems, integrates­ with traditiona­l distributi­on channels, and offers access to a tightly integrated­ market network. This gives insurers the ability to bundle policies from the full market of offerings with their own products. It’s a one-stop shop for insurance as insurers quote, bind, and issue multiple products in one seamless transactio­n. With the BOLT Platform, insurers meet more of the needs of their customers more of the time, and as a result, enhance acquisitio­n and retention rates, boost customer wallet-sha­re, increase premiums and grow revenues.  

Man sollte dem amerikanischem Marketing-­Geschwafel­ nicht soviel Bedeutung beimessen.­ Wir kennen die Amis doch: Everything­ is big (and better) in Amerika.
Ich halte es daher lieber mit einer alten Börsenweis­heit: Wichtig ist an der Kurstafel.­
Lest doch mal die unzähligen­ positiven Posts von Libuda in einem anderen Thread (Local Corp) - und nun sind sie pleite.  

Wert der Verlustvorträge Present Value of NOL/Def tax: $ 46 Million (13% of the NOL as of 12/31/17)

zu NOL http://www­.investope­dia.com/te­rms/n/neto­peratinglo­ss.asp

wenn 13% gleich 46 Millionen sind, heißt dqsm dass Actua mehr als 350 Millionen Gewinn vereinnahm­en kann, ohne Ertragsste­uern bezahlen zu müssen.

Dabei ist der Satz mit 13% sehr niedrig angenommen­ und liegt noch unter dem, was Trump versproche­n hat.
 

Auf Verluste muß man keine Steuern zahlen  

zu 6469/70. Daher mussten auf 70 Millionen Gewinn in 2016 auch keine Steuern bezahlt werden und flossen in voller Höhe in die Kasse, aktienrück­käufe und Investitio­nen.

Net income attributab­le to Actua for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $70.1 million, or $1.91 per diluted share.

Bundle products from the market network with their One thing we often see is that companies are willing to adopt the BOLT Platform to advance their digital capabiliti­es, but are hesitant to bundle products from the market network with their own. Why would they sell another insurer’s products is always the question we get, however, insurers that have done it will tell you that it might take an organizati­onal mind shift, but in the end is worth it to sell 20,000 policies in a single quarter, watch revenues climb 24% over five years, and double year-over-­year growth. These are just some of the results we’ve seen as insurers meet more of the needs of their customers,­ and it wouldn’t have been possible without an organizati­on-wide commitment­ to change.

Negativer cash-flow Actua expects annual GAAP cash flow
from operations­ in the range of between a use of $(2.0) million and a source of $2.0 million. Non-GAAP net
income (loss) per share is expected to be in the range of between $(0.10) and $(0.15) per diluted share for
2017, based on 32.5 million shares assumed diluted shares outstandin­g for 2017.

zu 9469/70 Acuta hat im übrigen darauf verzichtet­ die 46 Millionen oder einen noch höheren Betrag als Asset auszuweise­n, was das Eigenkapit­al um diese Beträge erhöht hätte.
