Investor Relations for Listed Companies and those looking to list - Strategy Explained

IR MissionDevelop and market the company’s story to analysts and investors in order to achieve a market valuation that reflects understanding of the business, growth strategy and how the company will build value over time.

Stock Price = Performance + Perception

IR Objectives• Tell the story: Clear, concise and consistent messaging• Attract interest: Aggressive outreach program• Define IR Function: Role and responsibilities• Dissemination: Reliable, transparent and compliant

Getting the Message Across• Bridging company vision, mission, strategy and markets with analysts and investors. • Reinforcing messages across all external communication channels (conference calls, investor

presentations, press releases, filings).

iii

The Investor Relations Function is Critical - Our (1) + (2) + (3) of Investor Marketing

Fast moving market dynamics, investor strategies and valuation parameters no longer allows IR to be merely a fielder and disseminator of information.

The “new” IR has three critical purposes:

1. Proactive “marketer” of the company’s story2. Fundamental understanding of equity markets and the investment process3. Internal purveyor of market intelligence to senior management and board on sentiment and valuation

driversOur research with investors shows that IR has the third-highest exposure to the investment community after the CEO / CIO and CFO.

Why using an outsourced IR function is the right choice• Seasoned advice and a wealth of experience at an affordable price. A senior IR person is expensive but a

junior person lacks expertise. An outside firm can give you both scale and a valuable outside perspective.’• An outsourced IR should work closely with you because: What you want is someone who looks and feels

as much like an internal IRO as possible• Paying an outsourced firm an annual retainer generally costs half as much as a full-time IR person. There’s

been a recent upward trend toward [newly public companies] getting assistance. It speaks volumes as to the effective value of IR.

• For some companies, the decision to outsource IR hinges on some very practical considerations, such as ‘dual-listings’.

• For small and micro-cap companies, the decision to hire an IR consultant may be a decision to do something, IR-wise, rather than doing nothing at all. Hiring an IR consultant in represents a more serious foray into telling your story to the market.

Creating Value through an IR Programme by Building:

• Market awareness and feedback to management• Credibility and consistent communication• Number of long-term investors; and optimising shareholder type• Analyst following• Access to capital• Liquidity• P/E ratio• Share value• Corporate governance

Benefits of an IR Programme

• Reduces share volatility• Expands share liquidity • Optimises and diversifies shareholder base• Helps lower the cost of capital

Key Principles to Remember about Investor Relations

• Having an Investor Relations function is an investment, not an expense.

• The efficiency of an Investor Relations function must be evaluated based on objectives determined at the outset and then regularly monitored over time.

• While your share price is the most visible, it is not the only way to measure returns on investment. Changes in funding costs and shareholder bases are also fundamental criteria.

• Perception studies are an indispensable tool for assessing and improving the company’s financial image over the long term.

Capital Markets are dynamic and complex by nature and can often be seen to challenge management and isolate the impact of effective Investor Relations from broader market forces. We also occasionally come across the belief that results will “speak for themselves” and that Investor Relations are costs that can be easily done without.

However, there is now copious amounts of research from top research houses that shows strong evidence to support the idea that the quality and frequency of disclosure has a significant impact on stock-market valuation.

The environment is highly competitive and Investor Relations should be as much a part of companies’ overall vision as their development strategy. Taking a proactive approach with Investor Relations can prove a real competitive edge, for instance: consider two firms with comparable financial and economic results, the one with the better Investor Relations can very well be more generously valued.

REMEMBER, THE STORY IS THE BUSINESS AND NOT THE SHARE PRICE
