If BRN has a low cost business model (selling IP) and is making in the order of 85% margin on IP sales and royalties then there are really only 4 possible outcomes:
- reinvest profits for future development of the product and the business. However, we have seen that development of the next generations of Akida are unlikely to be that expensive compared to the enormous amount of revenue that is likely to flow in. So what will happen to the rest of the revenue?
- dividends; this is most likely outcome in my opinion and with a low cost business model and 85% margin you would have to think that dividends will be a lot higher than other businesses (bear in mind that even businesses like Woolworths pay a total annual dividend of approximately 4-5% with a huge cost base and much lower margins).
- share buy back; possible at some stage if we are awash in cash.
- acquisition of other businesses; also possible but doesn't seem to be part of the BRN strategy and at this stage hard to see that it will be in the foreseeable future, particularly when BRN has shown itself so adept at forming strategic partnerships with other useful businesses.
Therefore, I would suggest that your assessment is too conservative about the size of possible future dividends.
IMO only (but I"m always right
