What has RPM Global been up to lately?
June was a busy month for the company when it released two key announcements.
On 16 June, the company confirmed it had acquired the environmental, social and governance (ESG) company Nitro Solutions Pty Ltd.
Nitro provides ESG solutions to the mining industry and lends RPM a "dedicated division focused solely on ESG".
Nitro was acquired through a $2.1 million cash transaction that was finalised on 30 June. RPM Global shares climbed 4.7% in the five days following this announcement.
Then, on 18 June, RPM revealed it had a stronger than expected total contracted value (TCV) for its subscription software sales.
From the release, RPM increased TCV software subscriptions by $9 million, reaching a total of $40 million at that time.
Finally, on 2 July RPM Global shares reached their all-time high after the company revealed strong growth in its FY 2021 results.
RPM explained that TCV from software subscription sales and perpetual licence contracts totalled $52.9 million, up $9.5 million from the announcement on 18 June.
Of particular note was that TCV from software subscriptions alone was $47.7 million, up $7.3 million from $34.5 million the same time last year.
RPM Global shares have climbed a further 10% since this date. Therefore, it stands to reason that investors continue buying RPM shares on the back of these three positive events in the company's growth narrative.
