09:17		rcturner2: This is the most likely reason for the share price increase in recent months: "The triennial pension deficit valuation at 31 March 2019 was significantly lower at GBP22.4m (2016: GBP33.0 million). Company deficit reduction funding has been reduced to GBP2.3 million pa from GBP3.2 million pa, effective 1 January 2020 as part of a 7-year recovery plan." So over the last 3 years the pension deficit has dropped from £33m to £22m. They have reduced their annual pension payments from £3.2m to £2.3m, so will be £900k better off each year and it seems to me highly likely that in 3 years time they will be able to report a similar improvement in the deficit position.

16:54		the diddymen: The worst aspect of any pensions deficit is the cash contribution to fill the hole. This is cash that would otherwise be used to invest in the business or pay out as dividends. The share price drift over the last year will start to undermine confidence in the ability to sustain the dividend. The antidote would be a storming set of 2019 results, but we already know that they will be soft from the profits warning. A difficult time, but is it temporary or structural? TD

17:32		wilmdav: Hi WCB I also hold. £20.6m is the yearly IAS19 deficit which has little relevance other than an effect on reported profit. Much more important is the triennial valuation of the scheme which now shows a deficit of £33m, requiring yearly supplementary contributions of £3.2m until the next such valuation. I deduct the supplementary contribution from pre-tax profit and recalculate an adjusted eps from there. In this case adjusted PTP is reduced from £9m to £5.8m, a reduction of 35%. Prospective eps for 2018 is currently 21.3p. If this is reduced by the same percentage it becomes 13.9p, thereby increasing the prospective p/e from 7.9 to 12.2, which would seem about right for company of ALU's credentials without a pension deficit. The share price was 169p when I did the calculation. My expectation is for Brexit worries to increase and gilt yields to remain low for a long time as a consequence. However the £3.2m contributions are virtually set for the next 2 years regardless. 08/09/17 Corrected PTP reduction to 35%. Previously shown incorrectly as 65%.

00:20		runthejoules: SHARES magazine Great Ideas: The market valuation attached to building products business Alumasc (ALU) does not reflect its earnings potential or inherent qualities. The market doesn’t appear to have picked up on the Kettering-based company’s transformation from an engineering conglomerate to a pure play on premium building products. The stock trades on 8.2 times forecast earnings for the year to June 2018 which looks far too low, in our opinion. RENEWED FOCUS It is not a perfect like-for-like comparison but Renew Holdings’ (RNWH:AIM) share price has increased six-fold in the last five years as the company shifted its focused from heavy construction to specialist engineering services. Its share price was also static for a while, but the re-rating was spectacular once investors realised how Renew’s business had changed. The same could apply to Alumasc. Great Ideas The last of Alumasc’s engineering-related businesses was sold in July 2016 with the £4m disposal of Dyson Diecastings. The focus is now on ‘fast flowing streams’ in the building products space. This encompasses a focus on sustainable products which help conserve energy and water and solutions which help constructors meet building regulations. The investment in these areas and an increase in marketing spend was rewarded by a 17% increase in first half revenue to £50.7m. Unfortunately, the impressive top-line growth was not replicated at the bottom-line. Adjusted pre-tax profit only nudged ahead 2% to £4.1m as rising input costs hit margins. The increase in costs can be attributed to sterling weakness and rising steel prices and although these have now largely been passed through, there was a lag which hit profitability. BUMPER ORDER BOOK A near-record £27.6m order book and the timing of completion on several large contracts underpins boss Paul Hooper’s confidence that margins can be rebuilt in the remainder of its current financial year. This could act as a positive catalyst for the share price. ALUMASC GROUP - Comparison Line Chart (Rebased to first) The company’s operations coalesce in four key areas: solar shading and screening; roofing and walling; water management; and housebuilding and ancillary products. The Levolux solar shading business and Gatic drainage systems arm are successfully winning orders overseas. Mainly driven by Levolux sales in the US, export revenue almost doubled to £7.5m in the six months to 31 December 2016. The niche focus and international expansion should help the company outperform the modest growth expected in UK construction in the coming months. Keep a close eye on the £33m pension deficit. Annual cash contributions of £3.2m didn’t prevent Alumasc from hiking its first half dividend by 5.6% to 2.85p. (TS) Alumasc (ALU) 174.5p Stop loss: 139.6p Market value: £63m
