Majestic Wine shares flow higher as turnaround plan bites
08:32 17 Nov 2016
The firm has been under pressure to kickstart growth and in September issued a profit warning
Majestic Wine shares flow higher as turnaround plan bites
The firm reinstated an interim dividend of 1.5p a share, underlining future confidence

Shares in wine merchant Majestic plc (LON:MJW) flowed a little higher as it told investors its turnaround plan was working and it unveiled a 13% increase in sales in the first half.

The firm has been under pressure to kickstart growth and in September issued a profit warning, forecasting pre-tax earnings before interest for the full year to April 2017 would be lower than market expectations.

In the latest six months to September 26, revenue was £205mln (2015: £181.6mln). The loss for the period was £4.4mln, compared to a profit of £4.3mln in the same period last year.

The loss recognised £4.5mln of adjusted items, largely relating to the group's acquisition of online retailer Naked Wines in 2015.

The firm reinstated an interim dividend of 1.5p a share, underlining future confidence.

Chief executive Rowan Gormley said: "Now that we have built a solid platform for future growth, future cost growth will be much lower.

"We are reiterating our commitment to hitting our goal of delivering £500m sales by 2019, and we believe that will translate into healthy profit growth now that the step change in investment is complete."

The period saw a 26.7% increase in sales at Naked and a 5.7% rise like-for-like in the retail division. Majestic commercial was up 1.2%

Its Lay & Wheeler fine wine group was firmly back in growth, with a 27.8% increase in sales, due largely to the huge positive impact of a new management team.

House broker Liberum rates shares a 'buy' and targets 380p.

"The dynamic model being created is a far cry from the old Majestic," it says.

The transition towards a 'return on investment' focus via opex driven growth was always going to create a short, albeit sharp decline in these first half results, it notes.

"There are signs of positive momentum which, should they continue, drive outperformance."

Shares added 1.08% to 305p.

Well, the share price has woken up! Post Christmas cheer or is someone interested? Who knows what may happen after yesterday's odd announcement from Sainsbury's! Aldi or Lidl? Stranger things have happened.

I can't see them combining with A N Other especially a supermarkets. The two brands you've mentioned aren't viewed as premium brands whereas MJW is at least an upper to mid brand. I don't think either of the two would sit well together. MJW have a clear plan and have reduced their minimum purchase of 6 bottles, only time will tell if that helps them as they hope. I certainly know that in the past I've sometimes only wanted one or two bottles and felt it easier/cheaper to just buy from Sainsburys or Tesco.

The slight issue I have with MJW is that they price something like Bollinger with a 33% discount vs. a Supermarket at 25% discount but no prizes for guessing which one is actually cheaper! I think that they are attempting to get back to their roots and on a bit of a journey of rediscovery - they need to gain customer trust and get people through the door. They've got some cracking wines in there but you don't always know about them and 'everyone' sells the brands...

I like the layout of the stores and the staff are always helpful and knowledgeable whereas quite a few other chains (admittedly in different sectors) don't have that - there's definitely a difference between MJW and most, if not all, supermarkets.

I think the other difficulty is in providing wines that (some) people recognise or are willing to try whilst not having the supermarkets tread on their toes and nab those wines. Although Supermarkets seem to churn their lines of stock a lot more than MJW.

MJW: Liberum

The performance of the business is strong with all four units delivering sales growth. The core Majestic business has done better than expected. However the key focus today will be on the strategy update where the new management have highlighted their view of the future. The have laid out some challenging targets from sales, cashflow and ROI targets which we feel highlight the ambition. The costs to deliver this new strategy represent a shift from capex to opex thereby the distortion to the P&L should be over-looked in favour of what remains a very strong and highly cash generative business. We retain BUY but move our TP to 400p following what has been a very poor share price performance leading into these results.

Given that the discount mechanism deployed by equity markets seems to be looking at least 2 years into the future to warrant valuations ascribed elsewhere it will be interesting to see what market forces make of such a commercial move by MJW. You do not need to look too far to see the current insanity of equity markets. WTB is trading on a P/E of 30 times current earnings and a PEG factor in excess of 4 whilst offering a dividend yield of about 1.25%. And it as an entity is hardly debt free.

From a technical perspective it was noteworthy that the share price of MJW took a dive down through the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level - a 61.8% retracement of the entire move up from its 2008 low to its 2013 peak - before staging its share price reversal.
