Are Harwood Capital completely independent of the directors?

Just curious as this is not something I looked at before investing in ESS.

Potential bid from Harwood Capital announced after hours last night (they already own 34%)

Snippet on ESS

Bought some ESS for the first time. The results look more straightforward to me this time round. And hopefully they will be bought out some time in 2015.

bb2, I would quite like to be long ESS shares.

However, I always find their trading updates particularly opaque in terms of exactly what profitability they are achieving. EBITDA is of no use to me other than as a step on the way to a clear explanation of their calculation of adjusted PBT.

The spread on ESS is scary. Wish there was one liquidity or volume!

A decent dir buy on Friday...



I guess this hangs about if Trefick want out but that confirms adds weight to my belief that this could be a good cash machine going forward.

Looks like it has sold for £91m (FT) or just over 6x EBITDA of £15m according to

hxxps://www.altassets.net/private-equity-news/by-news-type/deal-news/cbpe-seals-2-4x-return-selling-uk-bowling-company-to-electra-partners.html

ESS did £4.1m EBITDA last year and may do c. £6m this year as lfl's are up 7% (last t/s).

So 6 x £6m would be a £36m valuation on a similar basis which is about = current market cap. ESS is debt free though so may be worth a significantly higher EBITDA multiple to a Private Equity firm? Now I note that Original was debt free end 2012 so that may be bunkum!

hxxp://talktenpin.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8399&;Itemid=139

Original did £70m sales according to



So sold on a 1.3 price/sales.

ESS did £45.6m sales in 2013 so sold on that ratio would be valued at £59m or 118p/share.

So I guess ESS looks pretty cheap here in summary.

Thank you for your post. Have you any idea what P/E ESS might be on once the management rewards have been paid and we get some semblance of a clean set of accounts. In these sort of situations, it would be good if companies would voluntarily produce a set of adjusted accounts reflecting all the moving parts having fully moved.

All IMHO, DYOR.

Cheers, Martin

I see two of the directors were due to be paid £2.2m for getting the loan note conversion through and the share incentive scheme looks like it will, at best, see a fair number more shares issued.

It would be nice to see a clean set of ESS accounts without management incentives greatly affecting them. Are there any other arrangements which might affect how one would value this company?
