Put in money terms the equity prediction is about 17p being returned per share in 2025.
Is the market saying that the share price has taken this into account or that the resulting company after the 17 p return mat have a 10p a share value?

"FY24 results: refocus post disposal" - new research (link below)

Benchmark Holdings reported FY24 revenue from continuing operations of £90.4m, -13%YoY (currency adjusted, CER, -6%YoY), and (adj.) EBITDA of £11.9m, -30%YoY (CER: -24%YoY reflecting the decline in revenue in the Health business (-57%YoY) and changes in Advanced Nutrition product mix. Net debt was reduced from £65.5m in FY23 to £49.0m due to the impact of the discontinued Genetics business removing debt related to the Saltern facility. The focus is now on the structure of operations post sale of the Genetics business area, streamlining the organisation and reducing costs.

Post-divestment our revenue and (adj.) EBITDA outlook is determined principally by two factors: trends in the overall market for shrimp (demand and prices), and contribution from the Health business based on Salmosan®Vet revenue streams, in FY25 respectively £86.7m and £12.7m, and for FY26, £90.9m and £14.0m. We reinstate our fair value at 43p/share, to be reviewed on completion of the disposal process as details of the use of proceeds, structure of the balance sheet and proposals for further restructuring emerge. Our revised Fair Value, based on a 5-year DCF, is inclusive of a return of capital to shareholders which we estimate at £158m, to be paid in FY25 (£128m) and FY27 (£30m).

Can anyone help explain recent weakness in share price….is there a problem with the Novo sale?
Market cap approx £200m which is substantially below the £260m due from Genetics sale.
Clearly I must be missing something…..

"FY23 results: consolidation and cash generation" (new report now available)

Link to note:


For the year to 30 September 2023, Benchmark Holdings reported revenue FY23 of £169.6m, +7.5%YoY (currency adjusted +7%YoY) which was 0.7% below our outlook, and adjusted EBITDA of £35.5m, +9%YoY, 5% above our outlook. Net operating cash of £20.0m was almost double FY22 (£10.8m) with a notable improvement in working capital management from £(12.0)m to £(1.0)m underlining efforts to control costs and improve operational efficiency. Net debt was £45.6m, with year-end cash at £36.5m.

The Group reports Genetics operations at normalised levels, early signs of a recovery in shrimp markets positive for Advanced Nutrition, and in the Health segment improved Q1 24 demand visibility with Clean Treat® at improved capacity utilisation. Most significantly, in FY23 the Group exhibited discipline in cost and cash management which establishes a sound platform for growth in FY24.

We revise down our FY24 revenue outlook by -6% and for FY25 by -7% principally due to a 24% reduction in the outlook for Health. For (adj.) EBITDA the adjustments are -4% in FY24 but +3% in FY25, indicative of continued improvements expected in operational efficiency. We maintain our fair value at 63p/share.

New note and Investor Presentation recording (see full details below)

For the three months to 30th June 2023, Benchmark Holdings reported revenue of £34.3m, -5.5%YoY (currency-adjusted -1%YoY), as 10%YoY growth in Genetics (42% of total) was offset by the impact of reduced demand in global shrimp markets, resulting in a 17%YoY decline in Advanced Nutrition revenues (47% of total). Adjusted EBITDA1 declined 23%YoY (£5.1m), a 14.8% margin (Q3 22: 18.1%); on a currency-adjusted basis -13%YoY. Net operating cash inflow of £1.7m contrasted with £(1.0)m outflow in Q3 22, with net debt of £45.7m (FY22: £59.3m) and healthy cash reserves of £32.9m.

Q3 under-performance in the Advanced Nutrition business area indicates a revision to our full year FY23 outlook and the basis for FY24 estimates; a 7.2% reduction in our FY23 (adj.) EBITDA outlook and -7.2% for FY24. We maintain our fair value at 63p/share, backed by sound cashflow management, confidence in Genetics salmon eggs demand and production capacity and prospects for Benchmark’s Ectosan®Vet and Clean Treat® treatments.

In the light of the Q figs released, what on earth justifies a 5% drop in the Stock's price, and the sale of over 7 million shares? I presume the sales are by AIM holders which would go to prove that UK investors just don't understand The Company and its products and services, and their position in what might be called a "Sunrise" Industry. No wonder The Board decided to focus on The Oslo Exchange. The Norwegians really understand Aquaculture, and have made fortunes out of it.

Maybe we will see BMK move into profit next quarter? Fingers crossed.

It's interesting to note BMK's strong cash position:
"Cash of £50.6m and Liquidity (cash and available facility) of £61.6m as at 21 February 2022"

Considering the buy-&-build strategy employed by BMK, then OTAQ, which has BMK founder Malcolm Pye as a director, could be a potential BMK takeover target.

In fact, at its current share price of just 20.5p OTAQ looks a sitting duck for a BMK takeover attempt, and looks a prefect fit.

Thought I think that it would have to pay at least double or treble OTAQ's current share price to succeed.


"Malcolm Pye
Non Executive Director
Malcolm founded, and from 1999 to 2019 was Chief Executive of, Benchmark Holdings plc ("Benchmark"), the world's leading aquaculture health, nutrition and genetics business. Malcolm has over 35 years' experience in international agribusiness through his various roles at Hillsdown Holdings (then HMTF Group), and through building Benchmark from the initial start-up into a major international aquaculture technology business serving the global salmon, shrimp, tilapia and farmed fish industries. Malcolm focused Benchmark's activities on animal health, breeding and genetics, advanced nutrition and knowledge/technology delivery and led the flotation of Benchmark in 2013, maintaining a lead role in investor engagement."
