Juha Kinnunen

Talenom is an accounting firm that offers a wide range of services within accounting, invoice management and payroll. In addition to the main business, financial analysis and the possibility of real-time control via the company's web services are offered. The largest proportion of customers are found among small and medium-sized corporate customers in the Nordic market. The company was founded in 1972 and has its headquarters in Oulu.

I looked at Easor’s ownership changes over the month, and the same Otto-Pekka Huhtala was on the buying side there. Similarly, the same Savings Bank (Säästöpankki) fund sold almost all of its Easor shares already, and SEB’s register seems to have about 1.3 million shares left. SEB and SP are thus on the selling side in both, and especially on Easor’s side, the sellable shares might run out quite quickly.

Otto-Pekka Huhtala, who became CEO of Easorin, sold his shares in March:  He made such bad deals, e.g., in Sweden at Talenom’s expense, that it remains to be seen whether this is a positive or negative signal. Harri Tahkola also reduced his holdings, but those shares probably went to his offspring. Säästöpankki’s fund was a big seller:  Also a lot out of Seb’s register:  Rantalainen significantly increased its ownership:

Would you like to share the reasons why you terminated Talenom because of Easor?

An existing Talenom customer using Easor can also switch to using Netvisor. This option was suggested to me when I terminated my contract with Talenom because of Easor.

I suppose one of the driving factors behind this entire demerger process was the observation in Sweden that the “forced implementation” of Easor caused a loss of accountants and, subsequently, customers. For the sake of the accounting firm business, this had to be abandoned, and since Easor still needs more customers, the decision was made to start offering it to others. Of course, Easor is likely still the choice for completely new customers and for accountants who already use it.

Easor is cheaper than its competitors, or at least below the mid-range. This is the impression given in interviews. It improves the accountant’s efficiency, making the current price level worth paying. As long as this remains true, Talenom is unlikely to switch to more expensive software or to something that is slower to use from an accountant’s perspective. If a new customer is currently using other software and wants to move to Talenom, in these cases Talenom can continue to use that other software if the end customer so requires (e.g., if they don’t want to learn anything new). This is what has been stated. For the next 5 years, Easor will likely remain Talenom’s primary software. Beyond that, it’s harder to say. If the main owner remains the same, the current situation will likely continue for the most part, with competing software then accounting for x% of usage.

I’m not familiar with the topic, so I’ll comment generally. Talenom provides a significant testing platform (in terms of scale) for Easor. Likewise, they receive feedback on, for example, tests of new features, legislation, etc. The people at Easor certainly know their stuff for now, but when the staff changes in the years to come, it’s good to have a strong partner. All software licenses tend to get x% more expensive annually—why would Easor specifically start milking Talenom for something more than what was agreed upon in the demerger?

<p>Talenom's Q2 result was excellent considering the circumstances and the company's earnings growth story is progressing on track. We have raised our earnings estimates slightly and exceptionally included new unimplemented acquisitions. Talenom is expected to continue its acquisition-driven growth strategy in the coming years, which is why our estimates now better reflect the future. However, following a strong share price rise, we believe that the share is almost fully priced (2023e P/E 35x and EV/EBIT 28x). Long-term investors can well stay on board the attractive equity story, but in the short term we do not see sufficient upside in the share. </p>
