Canadian Stock and Financial News

Nuvei ( TSX:NVEI ) is a technology company that offers next-generation payment solutions to small- and medium-scale businesses across multiple industries. The rising interest rates and inflationary environment have been weighing on tech stocks, including Nuvei. It has lost around 67% of its stock value compared to its 52-week high. The steep correction has dragged its NTM (next 12-month) price-to-earnings multiple down to 15.8, which is lower than its historical average.

Meanwhile, I believe the correction is overdone, thus offering an excellent buying opportunity for long-term investors. Given its solid quarterly earnings, healthy growth prospects, and attractive valuation, I am bullish on the stock. Meanwhile, let’s first look at its third-quarter performance in more detail.

Nuvei’s third-quarter performance

In the September-ending quarter, Nuvei’s revenue grew by 7% to US$197.1 million. Higher volumes, new customer additions, expanded product offerings, and geographical expansion drove its revenue. However, unfavourable currency translation lowered its top line by US$11.5 million. The company witnessed strong growth across regions, with its overall volumes growing by 30% to US$28 billion.

Its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) increased marginally from US$80.9 million to US$81.2 million. Meanwhile, its net income fell 54% to US$13.0 million, primarily due to higher share-based payments. However, removing one-time items, its adjusted net income increased marginally to US$62.4 million. The company’s balance sheet looks solid, with its net cash at US$754 million at the end of the third quarter. So, the company is well equipped to support its growth initiatives. Meanwhile, let’s look at its growth prospects.

Nuvei’s growth prospects

The e-commerce growth has made digital transactions popular, thus creating a multi-year growth potential for Nuvei. The company has expanded its APM (alternative payment method) portfolio to 586, allowing its customers to receive payments from various digital payment methods. Also, it has strengthened its platform architecture and infrastructure, which could support a more significant number of transactions per second.

It has launched various innovative products across multiple markets to enhance its customers’ experience. Its “Nuvei for Platforms” launched in the September-ending quarter and could accelerate its marketplace offerings with a fully customizable solution. Further, Nuvei also received gaming licenses in Maryland and Kansas, expanding its online gaming industry presence in the United States. So, its growth prospects look healthy.

Meanwhile, Nuvei’s management has raised its volume and adjusted EBITDA guidance for this year. The management hopes to achieve volume and revenue growth of over 30% in the near to medium term. Its adjusted EBITDA margin could cross 50% over the long run.

Macro factors

Rising interest rates have severely hurt growth stocks , including Nuvei, this year. However, amid cooling inflation, Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, stated that the central bank could announce smaller interest rate hikes in the coming months, which could be positive for the company.

Bottom line

Given the uncertain economic outlook and higher interest rate environment, I expect Nuvei to be under pressure in the near term. However, given its growth initiatives, expanding addressable market, and attractive valuation, I believe Nuvei to outperform the market over the next three years.

Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – December 2, 2022) – Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSXV: VM) (OTC Pink: VYYRF) (the “Company” or “Voyageur”) announces that it has issued 125,322 Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) to directors pursuant to its fixed 10% equity incentive compensation plan adopted by the Company following receipt of shareholder approval on June 28, 2021 (the “Plan”). Each DSU represents a right of the holder to receive one common share (“Common Share”) of the Corporation effective as of the date that the holder ceases service as a director of the Company. The DSUs are used to compensate directors of the Corporation for their annual retainers. The DSUs do not have an exercise price but have a starting value equal to approximately $0.09974 per DSU, based on the weighted average share price for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The DSUs are subject to the terms of the Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

The Company further announces that it has issued 796,594 Common Shares to former directors of the Company pursuant to the terms of their DSUs.

The proposed Share Payment relates to a portion of director fees that were earned by these former directors during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which in accordance with the Company’s compensation strategy, would be paid by the issuance of DSUs in the normal course. Because these directors did not stand for re-election at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting on September 28, 2022, they were no longer eligible to receive DSUs under the Plan. The Share Payments are subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the Exchange. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Share Payment are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 2, 2022) – Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the “Company” or “Palladium One“) is pleased to announce that it has increased the previously announced brokered private placement from $3 million to $4.2 million.

The Company will issue up to 21,000,000 units on a charity flow-through basis (the “Charity FT Units“) at a price of $0.20 per Charity FT Unit (the “Charity FT Issue Price“) for gross proceeds of up to $4,200,000 (“Offering“). Each Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Charity FT Share“) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Charity FT Warrant“), and each Charity FT Share and Charity FT Warrant will be issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each Charity FT Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one non flow-through Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance thereof. The Charity FT Units will be offered for sale to purchasers in all the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Québec) in reliance on the listed issuer financing exemption available in Part 5A.2 National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106“) and will not be subject to any statutory hold periods.

The Offering will be led by Echelon Capital Markets (“Echelon”, the “Lead Agent“) and along with Sprott Capital Partners LP and Research Capital Corporation (collectively “Agents“). As compensation, the Agents will be entitled to a cash fee in an amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. In addition, the Agents will receive non-transferable warrants (the “Broker Warrants“) exercisable at any time prior to the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date to acquire that number of units (each comprised of one common share and one-half of one warrant with an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 36 months) which is equal to 6.0% of the number of Charity FT Units sold under the Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.14.

In addition, the Company’s non-brokered flow-through unit financing (“FT Units”) to be issued at unit price (“FT Unit Price”) remains unchanged.

There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.palladiumoneinc.com. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.

An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units and Charity FT Units will be used to incur, on the Company’s Canadian mineral exploration properties, Canadian exploration expenses that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures”, as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that will also qualify as “eligible Ontario exploration expenditures” within the meaning of subsection 103(4) of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (collectively, the “Qualifying Expenditures“).

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 2, 2022) – Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV: AAG) (OTCQX: AAGFF) (the “Company” or “Aftermath Silver”) is pleased to provide an update on its Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in southern Peru (the “Project” or “Berenguela“). The Company has an option (the “Option“) to acquire a 100% interest in the Project through binding agreements with SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR“) (see AAG news release dated October 21, 2020 for further details regarding the original option with SSR) and EMX Royalty Corporation (“EMX“) following EMX’s assumption of certain interests contained in Aftermath’s agreement with SSR. The Project is located in the Department of Puno, in southern central Peru.

EMX has agreed to defer a US$2.5-million payment due from Aftermath Silver in November 2022 to maintain the Option in good standing for a period of 12 months such that this payment is now due in November 2023.

In consideration for these deferrals, Aftermath has agreed to pay EMX an additional US$400,000 and will grant EMX a right of first refusal on any royalties that the Company may elect to sell.

Ralph Rushton, President and CEO of Aftermath commented: “I’d like to thank David Cole and the team at EMX for working with us to adjust the terms of our agreement. Aftermath intends to focus its resources on the technical development of the Berenguela project and I look forward to reporting on progress as we work toward completion of a preliminary economic analysis.”

EMX’s interest in Berenguela resulted from EMX’s acquisition of a portfolio of royalty interests and payments from SSR and certain of its subsidiaries (see EMX news releases dated July 29 and October 21, 2021). Aftermath Silver’s payment obligations, which arise pursuant to a definitive acquisition agreement, originally executed with SSR totalling US$13-million and other consideration to acquire a 100% interest in the Project, are summarized below (as now amended):

• The following represent the remaining payments to EMX: US$2.5-million cash to be paid on the second anniversary of the initial closing date (i.e. November 2022) now deferred until November 2023;
• US$3-million cash to be paid on the fourth anniversary of the initial closing date (i.e. November 2024);
• US$3.25-million cash to be paid on the sixth anniversary of the initial closing date (i.e. November 2026);
• A sliding-scale NSR royalty on all mineral production from the Project for the life of mine commencing at the declaration of commercial production, and based on the following:
  • 1.0% NSR royalty on all mineral production when the silver market price is up to and including US$25 per ounce;
  • 1.25% NSR royalty on all mineral production when the silver market price is over US$25 per ounce and when the copper market price is above US$2 per pound.

Adoption of New Option Plan

The Company also wishes to report that it has adopted, and the TSX Venture Exchange has approved, a 10% fixed stock option plan (the “Plan“) that will allow the Company to grant up to 17,117,174 stock options to eligible participants under the Plan. The Plan is the only security based compensation plan of the Company currently in place.
