Another steady rise today.

Vaneric not disagreeing , was having a moan about the larger loss then expected. Have no doubt this will come true , its the way the RNS came up-to the announcement then bang. We can all give of now and then , look forward to 1st Qr lets hope we see breakeven

[jmf69] 06/4/2021 22:22

Sells been going through above the mid price and up to 334 today. Late tick up and 2 weeks until the Q1 update.

[jmf69] 29/3/2021 21:23

I would say they have enough for the year if rf revenue doesn't pick up and steady increase in bioplastics revenue. We'll know more of the Q1 end position on 21st April.

Reported Group loss before interest, interest, taxation and amortisation (LBITDA) of £0.9m (2019: LBITDA of £0.5m), in line with market expectations, with Group operating loss of £1.6m £1.6m is still a loss , to dress it up with Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization basic means can off set in future profits hence the £0.9M Just love accountancies My worry is another cash call or sell RF Technologies as its dragging us down

[michaelmouse] 27/3/2021 11:37

No that's incorrect. The group made a LBITDA of £0.9m. The LBITDA for Bioplastics was £0.1m, RF Technologies £0.4m and central costs £0.4m. Please read the finals. With rapid growth from the Bioplastics division, and when the RF division's fortunes turnaround (which they will do, possibly more quickly than is currently expected) then you can see why this should get pretty exciting!

Whats interesting is in the interview is the Bio Plastic division made a 0.9 Million loss , which is much higher then i thought. So the question is how much in the Bio Plastic division need to break even , be helpful if this could be calculated. We could use the last 3 years accounts to get a rough figure ; any ideas will be helpful

My take on the results today and outlook is that most of the revenue growth will come in H2 with the new product sales coming online. Still happy to hold. Gla.

From the allenby capital research note issued today...ValuationWith limited, if any, quoted companies operating in the same space as Biome and the current forecasted losses it is difficult to present a valuation based on traditional metricssuch as PER and EV/EBITDA. However, our belief that the shares are undervalued is supported on an analysis of the EV/Sales of smaller companies within the Chemicals sector that on average show a ratio of 4.2x for Year 1 forecasts and 4.1x for Year 2. On this basis and applying a sizeable discount of around 25% we arrive at a share price of around 750p which we believe is a reasonable short to medium term target (the shares reached a peak of 645p in January 2019) that would value the business on an EV/Sales of 3.2x 2021 forecasts and 2.3x for 2022

New Non-exec seems to be a heavier weight than a small co. like Biome would normally attract. I wonder what the thinking is - massive expansion on the cards? or getting the decks ready to be taken over?

[thirty fifty twenty] 25/3/2021 10:55

hi amt - agree with your conclusion that limited downside and huge upside. though the risk reward may not suit all. all IMHO , DYOR + BoL BIOM is in my portfolio

Biome Bioplastics utilises industrial biotechnology developments to create bioplastics to replace oil-based polymers with biobased and biodegradable aromatic polyesters. https://t.co/9rAOlus6GJ #innovation #lifesciences #sustainable https://t.co/DYFr5j3Msl

[jmf69] 25/3/2021 10:28

But at what price?

[begorrah88] 25/3/2021 10:14

Something about the price action seems wrong to me.On the figures & the recent RNS I can so no genuine reason for the rise.Wouldn't surprise me if it got taken out by some larger body & Mines can then head off into the sunset with a lump sum in his pocket & maintain his delusions of having done a good job.New non-execs etc might just be positioning of appropriate parties.Wouldn't be surprised to see plenty of PR fluff in the near future if I'm right.

[amt] 25/3/2021 09:35

Yes I reckon based on current trends a loss of about 0.8m this year and cash outflow of about the same leaving 900k in the bank. Then 2022 break even and cash neutral. In H2 cash burn was only 400k so maybe my 800k for 2021 is pessimistic given probably 2m more in sales of Bio products. There could of course be some major contracts and the furnace business might start to recover. Anyway relatively safe at the moment with a huge opportunity further down the road. I am holding on.

[thordon] 25/3/2021 08:42

Yep , think this year still heading for a loss with next year heading to profit

[zipstuck] 25/3/2021 07:57

Cash burn last year was £1.4m after p;acing

[hatfullofsky] 25/3/2021 07:45

Can't see BIOM holding on to its recent gains with these results.
