Begbies Traynor’s track record demonstrates its ability to generate consistent growth in increasingly sustainable revenues across the economic cycle. This stems from a strategy driven by value-accretive acquisitions over the past six years, designed to build both upon existing and develop new, complementary disciplines. Returns have also been enhanced by organic investment in service line expansion, employee development / recruitment, and processes focused upon improved working practices and client service. The results are clearly visible in 16% CAGR in EPS from FY16-FY20, consistently positive cash generation and 8% pa dividend growth since 2017. Earnings growth is significantly ahead of the UK insolvency market (4% CAGR FY16-FY20), reflecting improved market shares from an increasingly diversified business, divisional cross sales / referrals, and the benefit of the acquisition strategy.

UK railway privatisation, which was launched in the mid-1990s, has finally turned full circle: the Department of Transport has recently confirmed that its controversial railway franchise system will be scrapped. In this month's feature article, Nigel Hawkins, the Infrastructure analyst at Hardman & Co, examines the 25-year history of railway privatisation and chronicles its ups and its downs. The successes of railway privatisation, such as new rolling stock, are addressed, along with the many shortcomings, which included minimal vertical integration. With the winding up of the franchise system, the UK railway sector is effectively reverting to its former status as a nationalised industry, a shift started with the renationalisation of the collapsed Railtrack – later re-badged as Network Rail – in 2001.

Franchise Brands’ results for the full year can be characterised as resilience in adversity with adjusted EBITDA, profit before tax, EPS, dividend and net cash all comfortably ahead of forecasts, the latter boosted by a placing in 2020 raising £13.6m net. Faced by COVID restrictions, quick reactions by management resulted in a decline in B2B and B2C EBITDA of just 0.7%, against a fall in fee income of 15% while direct labour income increased by 71% reflecting a full year from Willow Pumps. Having achieved a CAGR in adjusted EBITDA and dividends of 47% and 59% respectively since listing, the Board has now set out a new growth strategy which seeks a run-rate in revenues of £100m and adjusted EBITDA of £15m by the end of 2023.
