25 March 2024 - Hardide plc ("Hardide", the "Group" or the "Company")

AGM Statement

Hardide plc (AIM: HDD), the developer and provider of advanced surface coating technology, will be holding its Annual General Meeting at 11:30am today, at which the Chair will provide the following update on trading in the financial year to date.

'Hardide expects to report revenues for the first half of the financial year (H1 FY24) of circa £2m, compared with £2.9m in the equivalent prior year period.

As reported in our annual results announcement on 8 February 2024, this reflects a slower than expected start to the financial year, as certain customers reduced their inventory holdings. Hardide's trading momentum has since improved, but has not advanced beyond prior year levels.

We anticipate a stronger second half as order patterns from major OEM customers normalise, supplemented by ongoing sales growth into aerospace markets and initial sales of industrial consumable spares product sold directly to end user customers.

Further action is being taken to further reduce costs and improve revenues and margins in order to underpin existing expectations for an EBITDA positive performance for FY24.

We are very grateful for the support of new and existing investors in our recent capital raise to help enable us to deliver on our strategy.'

Known as Peter, retired accountant, scion of the Silhouette lingerie dynasty, uncle to the boat race winning cox Andy and the Harry Secombe lookalike barrister Nic.

A concentrated private investor.

Yes, although I'm surprised given that Andrew Boyce NED holds 12% and has been on the board and remuneration committee all that time.

Then Patrick Evershed took a 6% stake last year.

Some other HNW PI's own stakes of 3% or so.

Yet all of them have tolerated this jam tomorrow story for 10+ years.....or 20yrs for some!

It will be interesting to see what Robert Goddard does with his 471,532 shares now he has resigned as non-exec Chairman and who they bring in instead. He sounded positive on HDD as you would expect, so perhaps he thinks it's a long term hold at this stage.

It just seems a very 'comfortable' business if you ask me. A great story, great IP, great process experience but a story spun for 20 years and funded by investors with very little measurement or scalability.

I still don't think they are anywhere near to profitability and I cannot fathom how 41% gross margins are deemed acceptable for a product/technology like this.

They will almost certainly be raising more money in the next few months and perhaps talking about this new investment in a 2nd large reactor.

I'd rather see some figures on what % of reactor capacity is being used at the moment. A bit more transparency if you like.

Why are smart investors so successful ?


27-Apr-2021
Killik & Co LLP Mayfair, United Kingdom

Patrick Evershed CBE (and family accounts)

Bought 4.200000 Hardide PLC shares



His track record in investment.

"Patrick has worked in the City since 1997. Over the last 35 years he has been a unit trust fund manager, and for much of this time, he has been top, or near the top, of the performance tables. Between November 1999 and November 2004 the fund he ran was the top performing UK Unit Trust."

The internet chatter is that Evershed was more recently a hedge fund manager and Conservative political activist, a crony of the former PM Teresa May. Like David Brownlow re the PM's Flat redecoration. They have jobs like Deputy Chairman of the party and a seat in the House of Lords for getting their cheque books out during general election campaigns. Associate with others having surplus wealth and debatable motives providing conspicuous support to things like royal charities.

Sometimes good sorts, sometimes sleeze bags.

I would take comfort in a known investor taking a significant stake ahead of results with the implication that he knows something or can see something bright on the horizon which others have yet to appreciate. But I would not let him in my pub.

There's still no urgency here to return any money to shareholders.

the Board expects the Company to remain cash consumptive for at least the current year.

Perhaps if the BOD owned a larger stake in the company there might be a bit more incentive to generate a profit and return a dividend.

The tech is great, the customer list is great, the recent factory move is positive but 15 years of losses and zero returns to shareholders says it all.

At some point HDD is a buy. Do they still have any patent protection on their technology? Or do investors think the capex spent on reactors and their know-how is enough of a competitive moat now?
