Posted at 27/6/2025 11:56 by davidmcconnell15 So, on the day thta LIKE (Likewise) announces 10% sales growth in the 1st half 2025 and increased prifitability; HEAD (headlam) are paying Alvarez & Marsal huge amounts to try and help stave off the arrival of the Grim Reaper, who is currently pulling up in the HEAD parking lot. |
Posted at 23/5/2025 23:41 by davidmcconnell15 HEAD are in real trouble. Just look at all the property disposals and property sales and leasebacks in 2024. All of that money raised has been spent funding 2024 trading losses and towards 1st half 2025 trading losses. IMO they require additional sales of circa £50 million per annum at a minimum to break even and get their head above water. This is why they have already announced the closure of their Nottingham distribution centre, with a view to its sale covering 2025 losses. They are just selling off the family silverware in the hope their disastrous transformation plan will eventually pay off, which it will not. When they claim their trade counters sales are growing, it is because they have changed the way they report some of their sales. An example being, if a long standing client in the Regional Distribution Division, who normally receives their goods by delivery, chooses on occaions to collect from a trade counter, this sale is re-classified as a trade counter sale, not a regional distribution sale. Hence the so-called growth in trade counter sales, which is just another way of polishing a bad situation. I expect their next announcement in July will be on the lines of closing all their regional sales offices to 'simplyfy' all into one or two at Coleshill and Tamworth. Their distribution centre at Thatcham looks likely to be the next one on their list to be sold off to fund trading losses and likely to be replaced by a leasehold version of one of their so-called "cross docks".When HEAD continually state all will be well when "the market returns", they have not considered that today's market is the market. there is not going to be a short term increase in the overall market to provide them with the minimum additional £50 million they require asap. Added to this, when they next report their 1st half results in July, be sure to ask what increase their provision for bad debts is having closed 30 brands in October 2024. Also, reports form the wider industry confirm that HEAD have introduced major customer annual sales rebates for customers in 2025 and also become extremely aggressive with additional discounting. All to try and stem the torrent of their previous regional distribution turnover to their rivals, all of whom are growing their sales to the detriment of HEAD. Will HEAD mention their gross margin in their half year results? and if so, will this the no. be announced after allowing for the 100's of new customer regional distribution annual customer rebates, which are not payable until end of January 2026 at the earliest. So, when they say in July that their rate of decline in sales is improving, before you consider increasing your position in HEAD, please remember to ask them how their gross margin and exposure to bad and doubtful debt is going. |

Posted at 11/12/2024 18:25 by no dice Perpetual Ltd increased their holding in HEAD by 638,404 shares yesterday (10 Dec) - just over £804k based on the closing price of 126p. |
Posted at 10/12/2024 20:05 by velocytongo Vcp is heavily indebted and Head is not. The downside looks limited and 3-4 times upside. |
Posted at 06/12/2024 03:04 by arja surely he should get a bonus as well :) . Chartwise HEAD looks awful but now close to chart support level in November 2001 - clutching at straws ( wry smile ) |
Posted at 12/11/2024 19:31 by bda3490 Opted not to not to declare a dividend !!Is that ain’t got any money and can’t !! About time you did an Elvis ( left the building) |
Posted at 06/11/2024 23:24 by jeffian Errrr......no they don't."No interim ordinary dividend has been declared (FY 2023: interim ordinary dividend 4.0 pence per share). While we have opted not to declare a dividend this year, our long-term commitment remains focused on delivering shareholder value. The Board will continue to review how the business is performing, taking into account the market conditions and the implementation of the transformation plan, in assessing when it may be appropriate to reinstate dividend payments." |

Posted at 08/3/2024 10:17 by donald mcdonald It’s incredible that eighthwonder condiders Headlam “was left in a mess by Brewer”.Tony Brewer was fired by Headlam on or around 14th September 2016. The share price was £4.47. The profit reported in 2016 was £40.1 million and the dividend was 22.55 pence per share. The mess began the day Tony Brewer was fired because there was no one left on the Board who had any knowledge or experience of the complexities of distributing floorcoverings. What is more, in the intervening period, no one with any knowledge or experience of floorcoverings has been added to the Headlam Board. In the past, 100’s of independent retailers and flooring contractors purchased shares in Headlam. They considered the annual dividend as a form of loyalty rebate. Smaller shareholders did not really follow the share price as the generous dividend was of paramount importance. Several independent retailers and contractors used to attend the Headlam AGM just to get a chance to meet up and shake hands with Graham Waldron and Tony Brewer. Investing in Headlam for them was also invseting in their own future. Before Graham Waldron and Tony Brewer revolutionised the wholesale floorcovering market, an independent retailer might have to wait 7 to 10 days for a cut length of carpet to be delivered to them. Graham & Tony introduced “everywhere, everday” deliveries. The independent retailers loved this because in effect Headlam’s £100 million of inventory was available to them on a next day basis. Carpetright could no longer compete on service with the indepependent retailers. Headlam have gone all in with their decision to abdicate their core business of independent retailers and flooring contractors in favcour of large customers (Tapi, SCS, et al) and so far 2,000 carpet fitters & floor layers. It is a policy that they will be unable to reverse if they find out in the future that this business plan is flawed. Headlam may be right, but it going to take 2 to 3 years to find out because their business plan for Trade Counters is basically ‘build it and they will come’. With Headlam currently hemorrhaging so much market share in their core business to Likewise and the many independents, each trade counter needs to get to a break even turnover of £1.2 million in double quick time. Then there is the difficulty of getting to an earning enhancing turnover of £2 million. And that has to happen at every site. If one trade counter gets stuck at £600,000K, another needs to contribute over £3 million to make uo the shortfall. It is hard to get people from within the industry to go on the record, but privately very few believe that Headlam will achieve its objectives. Trade magazines are reticent to publish Headlam’s bad news stories for fear of losing advertising revenue. Not that Headlam does much marketing nowadays. Manufacturer’s and Suppliers are keeping their heads down in public and waiting to see what develops. And then what happens if one of their so-called larger customers fails or decides to procure from a different source. It has happended before and lead to Headlam issuing a profit warning to shareholders. The next 2 years should determine the outcome. |
