Found it - 2018 NBV of freeholds was £147m. This supports net debt of over £500m ?

Annual deaths in the U.K. were 600,000 in 2018 and 584,000 in 2019. Suppose there are an additional 20,000 from COVID19. This is within the typical annual variation anyway.

So they have a PE of around 3.8 and dets not maturing for decades? Their services will be essential over the coming period. Nobody wants to see a Pandemic but surely Dignity are in a position to benefit from this event?

Debt is backed by freehold, is long dated and well serviced - Not an issue

Secured A Notes £238.9m 31/12/34 3.5456% Fixed for term

Secured B Notes £356.4m 31/12/49 4.69% Fixed for term

Notes have an annual debt service obligation (principal and interest) of ~£33.2
The Group's primary financial covenant under the Secured Notes requires EBITDA to total debt service to be above 1.5 times. The ratio at 27 December 2019 was 2.13 times (2018: 2.55 times). This covenant calculation uses a prescribed definition of EBITDA detailed in the loan documentation and only represents the profit of a sub group of the Group which is party to the loans (the 'securitisation group').

yes, IC "cheap as chips" portfolio review, threw up DTY but the debt number killed it from selection.....maybe debt for equity swap coming? Who knows, just too much uncertainty here IMO

Big mistake to think Dignity's performance is going to be about the number of deaths in the next few months. I would think there will be a greater shift to use of online comparison websites and hence increased price competition anyway.Dignity have so much debt that it only takes a small fall in earnings to wipe out shareholder value.

I guess some missed this

The market investigation reference was made on 28 March 2019. The period within which the CMA was due to prepare and publish a report was due to expire on 27 September 2020 and had indicated that it would publish its provisional findings in April/ May 2020. The CMA has decided that the reference period should be extended by six months under section 137(2A) of the Enterprise Act 2002. The revised reference period will expire on 27 March 2021.

Morbid to trade in this, But that's capitalism. I don't hold a position.

On the face of it I can see how Covid-19 related deaths could give a boost to the number of funerals and therefore earnings DTY generates, however with the "immediate family only" rule I can see more people opting for a no-frills cremation only option.

If things get really bad (god forbid) and the military take over (see Italy transporting straight to the crematorium)there will be no room for funeral operators to take any profits.

Not sure how many pre-paid plans are out there, but I expect the crossover between those who die as a result of Covid-19 who also hold a plan will be minimal.

wow, really heading South. Any views on how badly the govt review could/couldn't hit DTY? Surely not for a pre-Covid 50% reduction, and post COVID 80% destruction of shareholder value? More deaths should help DTY in a morbid way (sorry)?

Thoughts welcomed

This whole situation should offer DTY an opportunity to do *something* to try change the ripoff image they found themselves with. Get themselves in the headlines for doing something to help people.

“Report warns of more than 500,000 deaths in the U.K.”

As the effects of the coronavirus pandemic hit the job market, the damage is likely to be much deeper and longer lasting than seemed possible even a week ago.Marriott International, the hotel operator, said Tuesday that it would begin furloughing tens of thousands of employees worldwide. Restaurants, coffee shops, gyms and other small businesses have begun laying off workers outright. On Monday, a flood of inquiries from newly jobless New Yorkers crashed the website for the state's unemployment insurance system."Everyone is afraid to hire," said Angela Gervasi, 24, who is suddenly looking for work after being let go by her employer, a Philadelphia restaurant.Relatively few companies outside the hospitality industry have announced significant job cuts so far, with many saying they will continue to pay employees even while they are closed.But that cushion seems unsustainable. Most small businesses do not have the financial buffer to pay workers for long if revenue dries up.As the economic toll of the coronavirus has grown, the White House called for urgent action to speed $1 trillion into the economy,Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told senators that about $250 billion of the stimulus plan would cover the cost of sending checks to Americans to replace about two weeks of their wages. Mr. Mnuchin also said that Mr. Trump had instructed him to allow taxpayers to put off paying income taxes that are due April 15 for 90 days without penalty or interest.Report warns of more than 500,000 deaths in the U.K. Graham FergusonBusiness Development ManagerGlenalmond GroupEmail Graham.Ferguson@iodsltd.comPhone (+44) 0 1355 263884 (Ext. 280)Mobile (+44) 0 7341 737 949Glenalmond vcl_logo IODS_Logo 1a-full-colour-original 80

The grim reaper will boost he profits here My neighbour isa humanist minister and the funeral directors have already stated they are gearing up to work 24/7 funeral price will increase Remember the deaths caused by the corona virus may only be 1-2 % of the population but all the operations snr cancelled in hospitals so the non recorded deaths will multiply This will be back to a tenner in 3 months

That has been evident for some time, and it does not apply just to this company. I have always endeavoured to invest in companies with a cash buffer, even that comes with risks as a result of the ineptitude of the company directors these days. Most seem to believe in their own sense of self-entitlement, and security of position, they have a shocking ability to squander advantage, so investing is being tempered by bandits in the boardroom. Back to Dignity, they need to prop up the balance sheet badly, a rights issue is the only option, but with the sword of Damocles hanging over them with this ongoing enquiry it is very difficult to see that happening in a hurry. Cash is king in this day, but this company has some wealthy shareholders.
