Valuation
We think any investor looking into acquiring a position in Insurance Replacement Center Inc. should first look at the staggering potential of insurance replacement services and then think about how to get into it.
You then have to ask yourself, as an investor, if all of these things what is the best way to participate in this burgeoning industry? You would certainly expect that among the winners would have to be one or two of the companies that are in early and driving this potential multi billion dollar market.
If over the next 12 months, IRPC with their proprietary database, and with rapid commercialisation of their service, on an annualized basis were to generate just $13.25 Million Dollars in revenue and EBITDA of $1.9 Million, or just a quarter of the Company's next year projections then applying the Industry's Price to Earnings Ratio multiple of 13.5 times, would equate to a market cap of $25.6 Million Dollars.
Thus, when applying the comparative group's price to earnings multiples (for insurance adjusters and services it is currently 13.5 times) to IRPC and shares oustanding of we can arrive at a relative valuation of $2.98 per share over the next 12 months.
Conclusion
IRPC is a development stage company. With many development stage companies, there are many risks as well as the potential rewards.
With the stock today trading today for pennies on the dollar, one way to look at IRPC is as a perpetual call option on the future success of the company.
In our opinion, the risk in owning IRPC is no greater than owning an out of the money six month call option on Intel, Cisco, or Microsoft. You may lose some of your money or you could make a sizeable profit.
