£100m milestone in retail deposits achieved

We view today’s news that PCF Bank has reached the £100m milestone in retail deposits as positive. This represents a good uplift from the £81m at 28 February 2018 that was reported at the AGM on 2 March 2018. As we highlighted in the Flash Note at the time of the AGM, this reassures on growth and that the reduced cost of capital is enabling PCF to grow its new business origination and also increase profitability in due course. We maintain our 42p target price and Buy rating.

LIBERUM: Non-Standard Finance* - Forecasts updated; maintain BUY

Having reflected IFRS 9 in our forecasts, which has a relatively greater impact on higher growth, higher risk-adjusted margin businesses like NSF, the company still screens very attractively, on growth, income and valuation. Our 83p TP implies a 29% TSR and a CY19 P/E multiple of 11.6x, for a business which should deliver a 29% CY17-19 EPS CAGR and a 1.8x covered, 6% CY19 DPS yield.

The Money Bin

In the week to 17 April the FTSE All Share fell -0.3% vs. the Insurance Index at +0.5% and +0.2% for the Lloyd’s Index. The best performer was Lancashire (+4.0%); Helios* (-2.3%) and JLT (-0.8%) were the worst performers. Swiss Re’s sigma analysis of the 2017 insured losses highlights the material protection gap. It estimates the total insured losses from the 2017 catastrophes at US$144bn vs. total economic losses of US$337bn, giving a cat risk protection gap of US$193bn (57%). Herein lies a potential (re)insurance opportunity.

Sigma Capital has acquired 3 sites in the North West and West Midlands. Countryside Properties will build 214 privaterented sector (“PRS”) homes at a c.£31m total gross development cost (“GDC”). Once completed and let, we expect that these will be acquired by The PRS REIT and for Sigma to recycle the capital into additional development, capturing a development profit as well as some rental income. We make no changes to our forecasts ahead of final results expected next week. We highlight a current 140p/share intrinsic value, with upside from opportunities not yet secured.

UK North Sea M&A – Smaller company potential

This book is split into two parts. The first part is thematic and focuses on the UK North Sea, where we discuss the potential for smaller companies to benefit from making acquisitions of producing assets. This is based on a screen of potentially available assets, and their likelihood of being available for sale. In the second part, we include profiles of the oil and gas companies in our coverage, and take the opportunity to update several of our models and recommendations. We intend this to be the first in a series of periodic publications focusing on themes within the oil and gas sector.

LIBERUM: Burford Capital* - Upgrading forecasts significantly

FY17 results as expected, on a positive trajectory

Final results are in line with our forecasts: f.dil adj. EPS 15.4p vs N+1Se 15.8p (-2.5% variance). This follows a reassuring update in early 2018 after some price volatility on the back of the positive IT announcement in December. The dividend is ahead of our forecast: 6.25p FY payout vs N+1Se 5.5p. The strategic plan is reiterated, ultimately targeting the return to a 30% operating margin (FY17 25%), but no material news since the IT announcement (19/12). We continue to see upside with our base case forecasts assuming no material efficiency gains, which we hope to introduce in due course. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and 370p 12m Target Price

FY18 results; 19% earnings growth

Earnings growth of 19% in FY18 highlights the inherent “momentum in the system” from loan activity in recent years. This momentum is sustainable with 25% growth in new advances in FY18 driving increased earnings forecasts for FY19 & FY20. The group benefits from a highly resilient business model; whilst competitive activity in the car financing market has had some impact on product mix and impairment, the group is not exposed to the PCP market and, with an average loan of £6,200, the prospect of declining residuals on the business model is minimal. Sector sentiment has weighed on the share price resulting in a single digit rating despite superior growth forecasts. The current valuation presents an attractive buying opportunity for value investors whilst also delivering a superior yield.

Revenues driven by strong offer

The update was disappointing from a profit perspective, but the root cause was a positive; faster than expected revenue growth leading to faster than expected cost growth. Revenues are growing fast because the business has an attractive offer that is gaining cross-selling success. The Company has also just won its first group level contract, meaning that it is pre-approved to supply any services chosen. Looking forward we lift our revenue assumption for 2018 and maintain our profit expectation. This builds in a little extra cost buffer, something we see as important as the group deals with the practical pressure of fast growth. The Company has also announced board changes. Executive Chairman Peter Scott becomes CEO, NED David Morrison becomes non-executive Chairman and the Company intends to split the CFO/COO roles once they have recruited a new CFO (Robin Price to retain COO role).

Results of continuation vote and tender offer

The Board of Aberdeen Emerging Markets Investment Company (AEMC) has announced that the continuation resolution was approved with 65.3% of the votes cast voting in favour. There will be a further continuation vote in 2023. The Board has also announced the results of the tender offer. The tender price is 652.6487p per share. Given the number of measures introduced in the last year to increase the attractiveness of AEMC and the combination of strong historic performance and low tracking error we continue to recommend that investors buy AEMC for their core emerging market exposure.

Pain today but growing upside potential

The FY17 results will inevitably be impacted by the 2017 catastrophe losses but we believe the quality of Helios’s Lloyd’s portfolio will enable it to continue to outperform the average, as seen with the latest syndicate returns. We reduce FY17E’s pre-tax loss (Norm) to £0.42m and raise FY18E PBT Norm to £0.46m and FY19E to £1.0m. Helios is well positioned to benefit from rate rises, plus we believe more LLVs should come up for sale through 2018-19, and at more attractive prices. Our revised target price is 160p (45% upside); we stay at Buy.

Building share in premium escape rooms

Following the review of the escape room market management undertook in H2 2017, it now believes that the opportunity for a premium offering is greater than it initially thought. Thisreview, coupled with an unwillingness to pay over the odds for sites, meant that the UK rollout of new owned sites began six/nine months later than anticipated at the time of the AIM admission. We believe that Escape Hunt can deliver a rapid return on investment on the rollout and initiate coverage with a 200p DCF-derived target price and Buy rating.
