Ignore me - went to sell them and got the 111.32 price

Called up HL and they'll hopefully be setting up soon once they have received instruction by SECN

Has anyone managed to offload their shares at the 111.32?

Share just didn't respond to market news. There was signs in November. Brian Tyson did a video to say how well they were doing. November TU too. Plus integrating new units which were cross selling across SecNewgate network. Getting bigger deals due to coverage in Europe and Asia. Just no one buying stock as all tied up?

Wow figures for 2021 were off the chart!!!

2020 3.05m pbt revenue 65.33m albeit several acquisitions.
H1 2021 36.3m. PBT 2.3M.
2021 up to November 78.6m including acquisitions. 5.8m Euro PBT 10.6m EBIDTA!!
Excluding acquisitions 68.1m 9.7m ebidta. PBT 5m. So over 2 years profits nearly doubled! With acquisitions profits doubled! German market soaring from what I can tell. 1m Ebidta in November alone. Which means profits would of been much higher in 2021. You could add on 7m for december in revenue is my guess with 0.5-1m profit.

Most execs have formed part of new group. Loan costs slashed to 3%. So debt cost reduced. Likely paid down some of the loans too? 700k saving in 2022 with new UK office HQ.

SECN even with Covid were sailing! Porta never really got above £3-4m ebidta. Saddled with 12% loans and rent costs and huge salaries in London. All been stripped away and business is booming. New EU deal a major boost too.

See below in case you missed it. No wonder this fund wanted in quickly. I think directors will make millions here.


'Current Trading

The Company expects a strong performance for the year ended 31 December 2021, significantly ahead of budget forecasts, with over €1m of EBITDA delivered during November alone.

Unaudited consolidated results (pre-minority interests) for the 11 months to November 2021 showed revenue of €78.6m, EBITDA of €10.6m and a PBT of €5.8m. In the same period, organic consolidated results (excluding acquisitions) showed revenues of €68.1m, EBITDA of €9.7m and PBT of € 5.0m.

All major business segments have continued to deliver strong performances over the last two quarters.

At the end of 2021 the transfer of shares from Twister Group to SEC Newgate was been completed and SEC Newgate will therefore consolidate the figures for SEC Newgate ME, based in Dubai, from 1 January 2022.

Particular new business achievements include securing a three-year project funded by the EU aimed at promoting Italian food abroad; the project covers 11 countries and is worth about €5m over its term. The Company believes this project creates a solid track record ahead of future EU-funded tenders, and highlights the increasing trend in cross selling and intercompany business which accounted for over €300k of profit in the last quarter, with further significant prospects in the pipeline.

I was keen on these and took a goodly lump @31p in June 2020 ....also after losing a very big amount on Porta, so I'm happy enough with this current statement. Even so, SECN is a share I would have liked to keep for the long term, but not in unlisted form.

Yes £1.11 or nothing is how i read it. Means i lost 80% on Porta share. Was 93% when they landed at 39p. I think share is worth closer to £2. All they do is take market price and offer 20/30% premium. This is what i expected Porta to do. Do large deals. Slash cost and cross sell products and make millions. Sec did the job porta failed at. Porta just ran put of cash.

There is very little free floating stock here. Morton has controlled share price superbly. Unclear if intentional.

Him and Italian CEO will vote this through.

So they pay us £1.11 a share ?

Well I called the November TU before it came. All the posts on their Twitter seem to be about hiring more staff. Including a video about how many IPO they have done. What I am not sure at present is what a fair value for SecNewgate. As those in the know will not sell up. Which means the usual market forces can't adjust the share price here.

On a normal share a TU like this would of caused a 15-20% surge in price. The Broker Arden raised its forecast 5% on the Central Eastern European expansion 6-7 months ago.

We will have to wait for the new year to get a further TU or closing statement. My gut is next news will be an acquisition. Fiorediines suggested it below and his TU followed what he had previously said below.

The idea is each new acquisition will grow business and create cross selling across the entire group. As long as this holds true the only way this share price should go is up long term.
Look at CEE and Germany acquisitions. Increased profits should mean dividends long term.

At some point they will look to a big merger or a takeover. Huntsworth on it's turnaround went from 37p to 131p. Eventually sold around 110p or so? Right now £2-3 is just wishful thinking. This needs more takeovers like the German one that add real value to bottom line and economies of scale. GLA

So I totally missed this message about your results on 31/08/2021. Like all things the investors get them a day later. I guess they have to be approved by the board first. I did spot them just after 7am before they came out. You do like to do 1 RNS a month. Not sure if that is PR timing or just random.

It's kinda ironic UK being a star when for years Porta's whale in the room.
was the UK business. Mainly due to Morton's 12% loan costs and Newgate HQ office costs (Which they could not afford). Albeit once you cut out Redleaf/Newington office cost, reduced loan costs to 6% and slashed management costs suddenly there is a glimmer of light. Now with a new office with much cheaper rent that only adds to the UK bottom line. Porta was doing a lot of cost cutting and reorganising just before the merger with SECN. John Foley is no fool and has turned around many companies. Emma Kane is a very strong capable leader. Redleaf was always doing well and she is always campaigning for Cancer and other charities which people like.

This was always offset against it's Asian operations which always showed about 1.5m profits. I was once told the Australin business alone could be worth 15m. That was a few years back. With revenue up 10% compared to H1 2020 this bodes well. Maybe carrying forward H2 2020 performance.

I am still intrigued on US and China. In 2020 results they were only allocate 20k and 70k in revenue. H1 2021 results they were merged into rest of world. Albeit the US operation was very much a start up. In fact googling it found pretty much no results. Of course with PR you silently get on with things. From what I can remember the UK used to deal with a lot of the US clients including BNY Melon which was mentioned your 2020 report. Same could be true for China with Singapore and HK taking on clients.

Overall H1 figures seem to be good which makes H2 exciting as this always seems to be stronger part of the year. Especialy with the new Orca Affairs part of Sec Newgate operations now accouting for 6% of revenue compared to a much lower share before the acqusition. With hopefully office cost savings to follow.

Top 30 PR firm. This should gradually go top 20 as it sounds like you are planning more acquisitions in China and the US. Especially with Columbia also doing so well.

I seem to be one of the few people actually still following SECN in the UK. I always had a good ear to what was actualy going on but failed to sell before they ran out of money. Nice to know someone reads these posts.

Could well be in line for a Trading update in November or Jan if all going as well as you suggest and results show. Maybe I am too positive here.

Share drifting a bit but seems to be the usual exchange of share. Nice to get an actual dividend. Albeit most still nursing big losses.

Seraphim Capital did a 179m IPO which SECN seem to of helped with.

Seems more good news with cost savings on rent too. Not sure where they really are at with many in Italy on Furlough. But 600-700k Euros is a lot of money.

Hoping for a TU in next week or so if they are doing well. Be interesting to see what if anything the new German acquisition has added to the bottom line. Also how their office in China and US are doing. Is Australia still holding up as the star of the business?

Still think the true benefits of this merger with Porta are yet to be fully realised. Especially if they can cross sell and make major dents in new markets.

Maybe another bigger merger is needed with a US business? Keep slashing out head office costs and reach critical mass. That was what was supposed to happen with Porta but I don't think they ever managed to make the big mergers they hoped for. Sec should of been one of them 1-2 years earlier.

At present they seem to be announcing smaller acquisition every year or so. With brands being merged into SecNewgate.
