07/8/2019 17:00 | Jefferies “We would expect the company’s response to provide further information relating to individual investment return reporting, and to deal with the points in the report in greater detail. This should allow investors to assess the most important parts of the short argument better. “Where Burford can most obviously make changes is, we believe, in governance and communication. We have long said that some form of guidance or quarterly updates could be given and we think these combined could go a long way towards removing uncertainty, particularly given that the company has no scheduled market communications between now and March next year.” | ![]() brexitplus | |

07/8/2019 16:39 | MW has jumped on the false CG analysis and is using Woodford’s very weak position to push down the share price and try to make him a forced seller. Woodford is the weak link here. Every set of figures can be interpreted to advantage, either good or bad, by selective choice of info. MW has chosen the latter. It will be interesting to see the Burford response as top litigation lawyers. | ![]() brexitplus | |

07/8/2019 16:36 | Fallen star investor Neil Woodford's funds and his protégé Block, who also runs the hedge fund Muddy Waters Capital, flagged five key concerns about Burford in its report. 1) Burford's preferred performance metrics — return on invested capital and internal rate of return — are "heavily manipulated and greatly mislead investors about BUR's actual returns," Muddy Waters said. For example, Burford gives itself credit for recoveries when they may be uncertain or even highly unlikely, and ignores cases that are likely to be failures, the shortseller said. Burford's detailed investment data show that it has been "egregiously misrepresenting its ROIC and IRRs, as well as the state of its overall business," it added. 2) Burford "actively misleads investors about how its accounting for realized gains works," Muddy Waters said. Burford earns investment income from a mix of net realized gains and fair-value movements, but the vast majority of investors aren't aware net realized gains include previously recognized fair-value movements, the shortseller said. As a result, while Burford credited fair-value gains for about 55% of its total investment income in the first half of this year, Muddy Waters estimates they generated between 72% and 90%. 3) About 66% of Burford's net realized gains since 2012 have stemmed from just four cases, Muddy Waters said. One of those would have been a total loss but for a bailout from Burford's largest shareholder, Invesco. As a result, Burford's "broader portfolio lacks strength," the shortseller said. 4) Burford is at "high risk of financial stress" and "arguably insolvent," Muddy Waters said. The shortseller estimates its "real" invested capital to be around $880 million and its funded debt balance to be about $638 million, giving it a cushion of roughly $242 million. However, it pegs Burford's off-balance sheet commitments at $602 million, putting it about $360 million in the red, the firm said. 5) Burford has governance issues, Muddy Waters said. It has had five different finance heads in the past five years, and current CFO Elizabeth O'Connell is married to CEO Christopher Bogart. Its board members have also served for about 10 years, meaning they're no longer considered independent under the UK Governance Code, the firm said. | ![]() chimers |
