Printing.com (PDC)
On 20th Printing.com released a negative trading update. Cash remains
good and the investments made in new initiatives are set to benefit
shortly. This is an awkward period between the natural exposure PDC
has to macro-economic weakness (UK, Holland and other northern
Europe) and the new initiatives. These latter have cost money in
development (all done now) and in marketing (still ongoing) so this
really should be the low point but investors will wait to see the tide
turn.
While investors wait, the cash flow underpinning the dividend and
high yield is very important. "At this juncture, also taking into account
the Group's Balance Sheet, the absence of debt together with the
underlying cash generation, the Board intends to recommend the
payment of a final dividend at the same level as the previous year."
Note in the table the free cash flow yield.
"Notwithstanding the above, the Directors maintain their belief that
the plethora of new initiatives including Templatecloud.com and W3P
provide sound prospects for the Company moving forward. Indeed
post the last update, the first W3P Licenses have been granted in the
UK. These Licenses generate monthly 'system fees' along with
incremental print revenues."

IC's view:

Printing.com goes online for growthBy Nigel Bolitho, 06 June 2012

The profit slide at design and printing specialist, Printing.com , shouldn't worry investors too much. After all, that fall was substantially less than the 19 per cent slide at the half-year stage and largely reflected increased depreciation and amortisation charge. Cash profit actually rose 19.9 per cent in the year to £3.43m and, even though the dividend was cut back, the payout still beat analysts' expectations and the yield remains impressive - leaving the shares attractive.

Still, Printing.com does face challenges. Sales of straightforward UK and European printing services, mainly through franchisees, were static in the year at £13.3m as competition from small rivals increased. That explains why management has spent the past 18 months introducing artwork products online. That growing online focus is paying-off, though, and online sales rose sharply, from £2.64m last year to £7.4m, helped by a full-year contribution from Dutch-based MFG - which was acquired in November 2010. What's more, two new on-line services contributed small but significantly higher revenues - as did franchised businesses in both France and Ireland.

Broker N+1Brewin expects pre-tax profit to rebound by more than 40 per cent in 2013 to £1.8m, giving EPS of 3p.

IC VIEW
Printing.com's shares have slumped since last July and now trade on a hardly pricey 8.5 times forecast earnings. There's also an impressive dividend yield, plenty of cash, and earnings are forecast to grow solidly this year. Buy.

That's exactly where I guess the dividend will be set.
A 2.1p div for the full year still leaves a yield of 8.7% at 24p.

However, a div cut is likely to unnerve investors, despite this having been discussed several times in the accounts. Therefore, a fall to 20p is well within bounds.

All said and done, I'll not trade this one as the spread is always too large.

is the german 10% a friendly holding? has the board had discussion`s with this investor? should we be worried? been a long long time holder and want to reap the benifits in good time. Hope there is no deal being talked!

Don`t now if this has been posted, a bit out of date

Printing.comBUY 01/06/2010 Ben Jaglom
Amid deteriorating market conditions in the year to March, printing franchiser Printing.com suffered a 17.4% pre-tax profits drop to £1.7m, on revenue down 0.1% at £14.46m.

Founder and CEO Tony Rafferty explained that 'the printing market is dire, with other companies dropping 13-14%', though he assured Growth Company Investor that 'when the economic confidence returns to the SME market, we will recover as well'.

Rafferty believes the future of the business is in accessing 'nice accounts' such as large retailers, explaining that the plan is to 'set up what a company wants on a flyer on a template, so local managers can then use this template for individual promotions at a local level'. He added that 'in the second half of the year, we want to access accounts worth between £30,000 and £100,000, whereas today the average client is worth £450.'

Robustly profitable, Printing.com held the dividend at 3.15p and has £2.1m cash and debts of £800,000, though Rafferty is keen to point out that 'by April next year, we will have no borrowings whatsoever. We have had good cash generation for the last couple of years.'

For the current year, broker Brewin Dolphin forecasts increased sales and profits of £14.8m and £1.9m respectively, earnings of 3.1p and dividends maintained once again. Though Printing.com is not a bargain, trading on almost 12 times earnings and being so dependent on the wider SME market, Rafferty has ambitious plans to change the direction of the business to focus more on larger retailers and the shares do offer a bumper dividend yield of approaching 9%. Therefore, they are well worth buying for recovery.

I'm sorry about that (1475), i was just trying to explain something to a very
junior investor, who like you has no manners. It's about time we brought a
bit of capital punishment/national service back, better still put a noose
round you necks & just kick the chair away.

Hopefully investors are being drawn by the dividend yield having seen that savings will earn next to nothing in interest.

not exactly the buy-back of the century at only £5,500 worth.... or 0.055%

why do they bother???????????? A private investor wouldn't bother buying such a small amount...
