On 27th June, GE&CR published a detailed note on Advent Air, recommending the shares as a buy at 14p and raising its target price by almost 50% to 43p.

The Company's strategy is based on adding additional services to its schedule by adding new routes. Advent intends to implement this strategy via a three pronged approach: 1) expand into additional destinations in the Southeast Asian region, 2) grow its aircraft charter business and 3) expand the route network and schedule within Western Australia and the Northern Territory. This can be enhanced by an increase in freight capacity and selective code-sharing and interline agreements. Code-sharing, a flight operated by one airline but jointly marketed by more than one airline - a key feature of major airline alliances, can add to Advent's passenger numbers to new routes, as well as giving it the opportunity to deploy its own aircraft.

The company's strategy of securing long term charter contracts to service resource production companies in Western Australia and the Northern Territory has served the Company well. Resource companies benefit from Skywest's relatively modern fleet of large aircraft, reliable services and on time performance schedules. Advent benefits from the guaranteed income streams. The scheduled charter contracts with major mining houses such as BHP, PIO and Argyle provide Skywest with the opportunity to further utilize its existing fleet and contemplate further expansion of scheduled charter services.

The monopoly routes Skywest currently enjoys are likely to continue, as regional governments retain significant regulatory powers with respect to air traffic, partnerships, interline and code-sharing arrangements. Since the publication of our note, the company has announced the appointment of a new Company Secretary - Jasmine Loh.

Assuming very little growth, no significant change in the number of routes offered, no change in accounting policy and no further share buy backs by the end of this year (even though share buy backs are likely to continue), we see earnings growing by at least 50% in the current year. We anticipate that pre-tax profits for the year to 30th June 2007 will increase from £1.94 million (S$5.79 million) to £2.95 million (S$8.8 million) and that £5.54 million (S$16.50 million) is achievable in 2008. The benefits from the enhanced operating capacity of more aircraft coming on stream from December 2006 onwards (two in December 2006 and one in April 2007) will be more apparent in the 2008 full year financial results. The effect of being able to utilise historic losses (as a result of buying out the minority stake in Skywest) will be to reduce the tax charge from 2007 onwards and thus to boost earnings.

At 15p, the shares trade on a very low prospective earnings multiple of just 9.5 this year's projected earnings, and 4.93 times the year to June 30th 2008 projected earnings. We regard a current year price earnings ratio of 15 as a fairer reflection of the highly visibility and strong earnings growth which Advent is, and will continue to deliver. Hence, our target price, based on a 15 times forecast earnings for the year to June 30th 2008, is 43p

Another GE&CR recommendation in the free mail today. There's lots more background, but as it came in an email, I don't have a link.


Advent Air : Buy at 14p, target price 43p

Aim quoted Advent Air owns 100% of Skywest Ltd a fast growing, profitable regional airline with many years of operation in Australasia and South East Asia. Until being taken over by the Company Skywest Ltd was an Australian Stock Exchange quoted airline operator and holiday package supplier. The airline enjoys a strong operational presence in the Western and Northern Australia, with a strong and well established brand, known to local customers, the aviation industry and regulators.

Skywest has exclusive charter contracts with major resource companies, such as Rio Tinto, Newmont and Macmahons, a BHP contractor. 62% of its revenues are stable in that they are derived from Government monopoly and mining company charter contracts. Skywest enjoys considerable competitive protection thanks to exclusive licences granted to operate regional passenger services on the coastal network of Western Australia for a term of up to 5 years. In addition, Skywest holds a rare and the valuable Australian High Capacity Air Operators Certificate, enabling the operation of large commercial aircraft for charter and regular scheduled air passenger traffic.

The Company delivered a 117% increase in turnover to £33 million (S$98.95 million) and a 147% increase in profit before tax of £1.94 million pounds (S$5.79 million) for the financial year ended 30th June 2006. The trend in earnings growth is likely to accelerate for the current year as the Company has increased the number of aircraft fleet in operation from seven to ten. During the current year, Advent was able to buy the remaining 40% stake in Skywest Ltd, and was thus able to take advantage of Skywest's tax losses allowances and the elimination of minority interest. With a forecast profit before tax for the year to June 30th 2007 of £2.95 million (S$8.8 million), the shares - at 14p - trade on a current multiple of 9.33, which is hardly demanding for both the industry and a Company with such clear growth prospects and with net cash on its balance sheet. We consider a current year price earnings multiple of 15 as a fairer reflection of the growth being delivered by this business and hence we set a target price, based on 15 times forecast year to June 2008 earnings, of 42.6p and we reiterate our stance of "buy"
