What does Babylon Pump & Power Limited (BPP) do and how does it make money?

Babylon Pump & Power (BPP) comes up with the goods. The company provides equipment rental and maintenance to the Australian resources sector, particularly oil & gas and mining.

As a whole, the company has three major areas of focus:

• Specialty equipment rental and servicing — the rental of specialty, diesel-driven pumping and power generation equipment, including positive displacement pumps, multistage pumps, compressed air dryers and diesel compressors.

• Heavy diesel maintenance and servicing — the provision of rebuild and maintenance services for large diesel driven equipment and high-pressure water blasting.

• Specialty pumping and industrial services — the provision of other ancillary services to the resources sector.

Babylon Pump & Power reports all of its revenue in four segments: Service and Repair, Equipment Rental, Sale of Goods and Labour Hire. In FY2021, the revenue for each of these segments arrived at A$7.8m, A$3.84m, A$9.58m and A$843.5k, respectively.

Babylon Pump and Power was founded by Executive Chairman Michael Shelby in 2017. The company is headquartered in Forrestfield, Western Australia.

Is Babylon Pump & Power a profitable company?

Babylon Pump & Power earned revenue of A$1.63m, A$11.51m, A$17.2m and A$21.33m in FY2018, FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021, respectively. Prior to FY2018, the company had earned no revenue since FY2012.

The company has also been reporting net losses since FY2012. These losses have deepened from A$1.12m, A$2.21m, A$1.78m to A$6.67m in FY2018, FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021, respectively.

Is BPP stock a buy?

Sentiment around BPP stock appears to be mixed. 

BPP stock price reached a 6-month high of A$0.014 in January 2022, only to see-saw down to A$0.009 by the end of March 2022. The stock then climbed back up to A$0.014 by mid-April.

That upward movement of the BPP share price may be due to the appointment of new CFO Gary Credaro on 3 January 2022; the reporting of record revenue of A$13.7m for the half ending 31 December 2021; and positive operational cash flow of A$1.1M for the quarter ending 31 March 2022.

Executive Chairman Michael Shelby is positive about the future:

“The directors are confident in our ability to continue to grow and increase the

utilisation of our assets across rental and industrial services. Enhancing operational

efficiencies and profitability will continue to show improvement in cash flow and earnings as

we close out FY22. We continue to see increasing demand for quality services and

equipment from blue chip customers across the resources sector in particular, which gives us

the confidence of continuing strong growth in FY23 and beyond.”
