Looks like they got a very good price (£24.9m) for Identicare (annual sales just circa £3m) and the disposal has also enabled them to restructure the balance sheet with a post completition net cash position of circa £27m. Would doubt that the CMA investigation would have any significant concerns for them since the issue relates to Vet mark up margins rather than ANCR wholesale prices. This company seems to be under most retail investors radar screens but circa 70% of the shares are owned by around half a dozen institutions so this looks worth further research and investigation.

From WealthOracleAM....

Animalcare Limited founded in 1988 became the Animalcare Group in 2008. In July 2017 they made a reverse acquisition of Ecuphar NV, which is still casting a shadow over the share, as the share remains belowthe price before the transaction. Currently they are operating in 32 markets through 220 employees. ANCR is adopting a more organic approach towards growth, with focus on key therapy areas and new products development. This can be seen also in the financials with goodwill relatively flat over the years, but at quite high percentage of total assets – 51%, which has been impaired recently.
Other than the “underappreciated” by investors investment in 2017, the Group has been performing rather well. They have reduced their debt and increasing the cash generated from operations, thus gearing is minuscule at 16%. Revenue is growing at 39.1% CAGR, ROCE at 4.52% and dividends were doubled in 2020 from 2019, so there is plenty of return for the investors. However, ANCR remains very highly priced, with P/S just below the industry average and EV/EBITDA being quite high at 25.09.

New CEO in Jenny Winter recently appointed has an opportunity to finally put this business back on track.
Hideous journey to date with frankly pure value destruction further to the Ecuphar merger.
An AIM 2017 transaction award for this deal leaves somewhat of a nasty taste in the mouth - the chart says it all.
However, profitable and growth markets with a renewed focus on higher margins part of strategy.
Results at the end of April will hopefully show that green shoots are visible.
One to watch in my view.
DYOR and good luck to all investors new and existing.

Hmm what is going on here? I was looking at this stock in 2017 as it was held by some AIM VCTs I was look into. Then this transaction went ahead and put my off as it felt like empire building. What do people think?

A slight aside - I still think it's strange this is the front of their investors webpage. Now valued at 85m...

The enlarged group is now a growing, highly cash generative, dividend paying company with a solid pipeline of new products and now has a stock market value of the Company of around £200m.

Nfs, no share price reaction as they are suspended this morning.

Personally, I want to understand more why they are doing this deal (as opposed to continuing to grow organically) and does anyone know what the placing price is? I believe it's not set yet, if it turns out to be any lower than the current market price pre-suspension the private investors, i.e. us, are shafted as we cannot participate in the placing. This is quite disgusting as it's a huge placing of 40% of the company.

I wonder how many shares are in PI hands?

Ecuphar is a private company and I can't find accounts for it. Just have to wait for more information. Their board is basically taking over the ANCR board and the Ecuphar guys will own almost 50% of the business. We are actually now investors in Ecuphar in reality.
