Slower Q4 trading, confident of FY21 improvement

Today’s update highlights slower than expected trading within Air Partner’s Charter division in Q4, resulting in a shortfall against previous profit expectations. Visibility is always fairly limited and activity in the UK was impacted by the December General Election and resultant uncertainty, which now looks to have cleared. Adjusted PBT is expected to be £4.3m in FY20 (year ending 31st Jan), compared to our previous forecast of £5.5m and a prior year outturn of £5.8m. The outlook for FY21 is brighter, with sizeable business wins in the Charter division for delivery in H1’21 and good order coverage for the Safety & Security division. Safety & Security also stands to benefit from the first full year of the Redline acquisition. As a result, the Board remains confident in FY21 prospects, suggesting Q4 represents only a short term setback. We place our forecasts under review for now, and expect to publish revised forecasts reflecting today’s guidance in the coming days.

LIBERUM: Joules* - Interims as expected; shares could recover quickly

The H1 results at a headline level show the impact of IFRS 16 and no black Friday this year in H1 20, whereas it was included in H1 19. On an underlying basis, sales would have grown +1.3% and we estimate PBT would have risen by a high single digit % vs. the headline decline of c.10%.

Acquisition of Aston Martin and Rolls Royce dealerships

Exciting new additions to the portfolio have been announced, including its 4th Aston Martin dealership, its first Rolls Royce dealership and a foothold in the Edinburgh market in Scotland, where previously it has not had representation. These businesses have been acquired from the administrator of Leven Motors for £1.6m including a freehold property worth £1.5m. Under management control and by deploying Cambria’s proven acquisition and integration processes, these businesses are expected to be earnings neutral and move into profit in the first full year. While using modest assumptions pending their integration we have upgraded FY21 EPS by 2% and with it our fair value estimate to 100p.

Quarterly Research Outlook Autumn 2019

Following continued delays of a Brexit agreement, few sectors within the UK market have remained attractive to investors despite low valuations. One sector which has continued to outperform despite the political drama has been the UK video gaming sector (henceforth UK gaming), which we are fans of. We believe a combination of sector-leading growth, strong cash conversion and timely cyclical positioning support our positive view on the UK video gaming sector.

Sales beat but price investment

Dixons Carphone (DC) has reported LFL sales growth of +2% and -9% yoy in its main UK trading divisions, Electrical and Mobile Phones over the 10 weeks to 4 January 2020. It also appears to have held PBT guidance for the year to April 2020 at £210m although this is not specifically stated (“we are on track to deliver what we promised for this year..”) The sales out-turn appears to be around a 1% point beat of expectation but the announcement also highlights price investment in the UK electricals segment possible explaining why the company has not raised guidance. We judge that there are no other significant strategy-related comments here.

Cenkos: Arena Events Group Plc - H1/19A Interim Results

Arena's interim results showed strong revenue growth, driven primarily by acquisitions, along with modest LFL growth. We expect a strong performance in the Middle East to be offset by a more challenging environment in the UK and the US, leading us to revise our forecasts downwards.

Transformative acquisition

Air Partner announced the acquisition of Redline Worldwide last week. Redline is a leading global aviation security services business, which provides training, quality assurance and consultancy as well as software services. The total consideration was £10.0m, representing a Mar. ’19 EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.5x. We have incorporated the acquisition into our forecasts, increasing our FY21 PBT forecast by 14% (first full year of ownership). The acquisition is transformative for the Group, significantly increasing the scale of the Consulting & Training (C&T) division, which we now expect to represent 14% of operating profit in FY21 (vs. 6% previously). We believe this deal is attractive with scope for outperformance given significant cross selling opportunities.

Acquisition and portfolio changes

We note the announcement this morning from Vertu confirming the acquisition of four Volkswagen Passenger car dealerships in West Yorkshire. We also note an update on a number of portfolio changes as management continue to focus on optimal capital allocation. The group has paid a total consideration of £9m, with minimal goodwill of £1.35m. We are leaving our trading assumptions unchanged at this juncture as we anticipate a comprehensive pre closed trading update during the beginning of March, but due to timing anticipate modest dilution to Feb 2020 EPS, albeit expect this transaction to be EPS enhancing during the first full year of ownership (Feb 2021 and beyond). We do however update our net debt forecast to reflect the cash consideration of £9m. We believe the Group is well positioned long term given its strong balance sheet, rising FCF generation (FCF yield in 2021E of 9.9% rising to 11.4% in 2022E) and strong track record of disciplined growth.

Acquisition of Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce dealerships

Cambria has announced this morning the successful acquisition of one Aston Martin franchise and one Rolls-Royce Motor Cars franchise in Edinburgh from the administrator of Leven Cars Group Limited. The total cash consideration, which includes one freehold and one leasehold property along with certain fixed assets, is £1.6m and this will be funded from the Group’s existing resources. We update forecasts to reflect this, with an increase in 2020E revenue of c.2.0% but no impact to earnings. In 2021E we assume an additional £30m of revenue and a 1.6% increase to adj. PBT forecasts (1.6% at the EPS level). We remain firmly confident in Cambria’s ability to continue to execute and outperform the market as it has in recent years and see this latest acquisition as further evidence of the group’s ability to effectively deploy capital and acquire assets at good value.

PPHE Hotel Group - Encouraging end to the year

PPHE’s FY19 trading update is solid, meaning that management is confident of meeting expectations. FY19 like-for-like (l-f-l) room revenue growth of 6.3% follows 6.7% growth in FY18. At this stage, typically, detailed commentary on the performance at individual country level is limited. Management has indicated that trading is benefiting from the £100m investment programme, and therefore the key drivers of growth in FY19 were London and the Netherlands. FY20 will continue to benefit from the two recently reopened Park Plaza hotels in the Netherlands. Longer-term growth will be driven by the £300m development pipeline, including key projects such as two art’otels in London and one in New York.

Sosandar - Give a girl the right pair of shoes...

Sosandar, the celebrity-endorsed women’s fashion brand, benefits from a simple and scalable capital-light online model, a fast-growing affluent customer base and a robust pipeline of new styles introduced each month. The company is achieving impressive growth across all key performance metrics and has a solid balance sheet to support its rapid expansion in the UK and, we believe, internationally over the medium term.

Diversification and scale for online success

The global online gaming market generated c £40bn of gross gaming revenues (GGR) in 2018 and newly regulating markets (the US) are expected to contribute to 7% CAGR to 2023 (according to H2 Gambling Capital (H2GC)). However, while regulated markets have provided significant opportunities for operators to date, government intervention remains a constant threat and legislation is tightening. Some mature markets (notably the UK) have been raising taxes and implementing regulatory burdens, which increases the cost of business. In our view, success will depend on a combination of scale, diversification, proprietary technology and a strong balance sheet. Many of the 12 operators in this report should benefit from these dynamics and sector valuations remain attractive, at 12.6x P/E, 8.2x EV/EBITDA and 6.0% dividend yield for FY19.
