I sold out this morning because I made 50% in a few weeks and partly because I think a recovery is 2 years away and there will be another chance to buy in when this years results come in which are going to look truly awful.

That said I think their lenders will remain supportive and there is the possibility of significant cash coming back from the disposal and a price of at least £1.50 is achievable in a couple of years time.

The last time I tried a valuation, I came out around an optimistic £2 a share (c.£190m mkt cap) BUT that presumed a gradual recovery in the U.S business, so I need to get my calculator out now!

In the meantime, here's a broker note I just read...

--

IG Design Group has announced the disposal of its US subsidiary, DG Americas (DGA), to a special purpose vehicle set up by Hilco Capital. The nominal $1 sale price represents a clean break ahead of the peak seasonal working capital with no ongoing recourse to the group, but with the upside optionality of 75% of any post sale (relevant) proceeds. We regard this as a timely and elegant exit from a business buffeted by many external factors, not least the evolving tariff situation. In the face of increasing profit and cash pressures, this protects shareholders from further downside risk.

DGA disposal − a rapid response to untenable pressures. An exit from DGA was trailed as the probable strategic option at the group’s post-close trading update on 30 April. Today’s announcement addresses how this has been achieved with a view to achieving the best possible outturn for the group and its shareholders. The nominal upfront payment sees the group assign to Hilco any receivables owed by DGA to the group, with there being importantly no ongoing recourse on the group. IG Design Group retains upside optionality however, as it will receive 75% of any future proceeds from the sale of DGA or realisation of its assets by Hilco, with Hilco receiving 25%. These returns are net of monies utilised by Hilco to provide working capital to DGA. Technically, Hilco is under no obligation to sell, thus total group receipts might not exceed the initial nominal upfront cash payment. ▪ Financing arrangements − new three-year agreement to follow. The existing US receivables backed asset-based lending (ABL) facility will be terminated upon completion of the DGA transaction. The group is in negotiation with its current lenders, which have been providing bridging finance to support working capital, for a new three-year deal, with agreement expected by the end of June.

FY25 results − later publication than usual. The disposal of DGA will delay the publication of the group’s FY25 results, with a reporting date to be announced in due course. We would then expect further guidance on future strategy for DGI alongside guidance for the FY26 financial year. The group has already flagged that the inclusion of two months of trading for DGA, along with some limited transaction costs, will adversely impact the FY26 financial results. We would expect DGA to be reported as a discontinued business within the FY26 results, enabling clearer insight into the performance of the DGI continuing business.

BH23. Rubbish.
Cash is down due to supply chain issues and so inventory up.
I believe that is a short term issue.
The banks are on board which is a positive.
Over the next 2 months I think the tariffs will be grossly reduced as Wall Street/big corporations TELL DT that there is trouble in the streets and he will be blamed.
DT will then tell the world he has negotiated a fabulous deal of low tariffs especially with China!!!
IGR closing/selling USA and concentrating on the remaining divisions will mean IGR will in time go back to over £2.

Anders Hedlund and family own circa 20% of IGR.
He should put the boot up the Director’s backsides to get back to drive IGR back to some normality.

Internal memo from Paul Bal.
Dear colleagues
You may have seen Friday morning’s trading update statement, and the resulting significant fall in our
company’s share price. I am writng to you to explain it, and to provide some context.
As a publicly listed company we must promptly report developments that could materially aect the
value of our shares, and therefore the value of our company in “the market” (where shares are traded).
On Friday morning we announced that our forecasted sales, prot and cash delivery for this nancial
year (which ends 31 March 2025) will be much lower than we ourselves, “the market” and our
shareholders were expecng.
We explained the factors that led to this, and they are:
- Generally lower or disappoinng retail sales over the Christmas season experienced by our
customers across many markets, especially in the US, but also in the UK and Australia. There are
reasons for this: some are specic e.g. selling days, or the impact of other close seasons e.g.
Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Others reect longer-term trends in our categories e.g.
lile dierenᜩ5;aon and innovaon.
- Strong compe;on between (too many) retailers in the US, causing some to go out of business, so
cung our future sales to them, as well as leaving us owed money, and with surplus inventory to
write-o. All of this hits our sales, prots and cash. And a big example of this is Joann, which is DG
America’s 4
th
largest customer (and the Group’s 5
th
largest). Joann announced on Wednesday this
week that they were in trouble (again). They are the US’s largest retailer of clothes paerns and
related accessories - which is a very protable business for us. Joann’s demise leaves us owed
money and with surplus inventory to write-o. It also means less future sales, prot and cash than
we were expecng.
- Lower future sales, and orders, or even delays also impacts our future costs as our manufacturing
plants, warehouses and sourcing become less ecient.
The outcome of all this is that quite suddenly we expect this year’s prot to be around break-even, with
the Group’s sales down 10% versus last year, driven by DG America being down 11%. Cash will also be
down in line with the prot fall.
But, I must stress to you that despite this result, the Group remains sound. DG Internaonal’s businesses
are all protable. And we have a lot of cash reserves. We also have a good relaonship with our banks
should we need more cash.
But we must stop our sales from declining and get them growing and delivering more prot. Unl we
do that, we keep having to focus on cost-cung and being careful with our spending. The top priority
here is DG Americas, which has experienced much sales decline over recent years.
I have every belief in our DG Americas business. And I think its turnaround is very possible, even in the
increasingly challenging market it’s in now.
With Sue Buchta now on board, I feel we have the right leader to take DG Americas forward on this
journey and deliver a top-line turnaround that transforms the fortunes of that business, and given its
size, also the Group’s. Sue comes already familiar with our categories, with lots of experience in the US
market, with a track-record of turnarounds and a sales & markeng background. Not only will DG
Americas benet from this, but, as we collaborate more, so will the wider Group.
Besides Sue, we have also recently strengthened the Commercial teams in DG UK and DG Netherlands.
As our markets change, we must respond by changing too. We need fresh ideas on how we can sell
more, especially more protably. These new faces will bring experience from other places.
I will connue to work closely with Sue and her team, sharing my experiences, especially from last
summer in the US, as a fresh and excing recovery plan is brought to life in DG Americas. Similarly, I ask
you to support Sue and her team where you can. Joost and his team have already, even before Sue’s
arrival.
Next month, the Operang Board and the company Board come together for their annual joint meeng.
You won’t be surprised to know that the overall theme of that meeng is value-creaon in our categories:
with a focus on new growth opportunies and innovaon. We simply cannot connue selling essenally
the same product assortments over many years and expect our consumers to remain engaged, let alone
become excited. We face this challenge everywhere we sell, and so all of us need to reect on what’s
not working and come up with ideas.
2025 has not got o to a good start even though everyone is working hard to deliver the best results that
they can. So, I want to thank you all for your hard work and commitment to our business. Even with the
many challenges they face, I am humbled by the eorts our DG Americas’ colleagues are making to return
to growth. But besides hard work, we need new, smart thinking on how we can grow, and what our
future assortments are, and how and where they are sold.
Please let’s come together and work with new thinking to keep our products special and build a beer
and more rewarding future for the category, and our company.
Regards
Paul

Pre pandemic Fineman had taken these to £8 and at one time was made CEO of The Year - then he allegedly got the boot post covid due to a big drop in the share price or profit margins ....but many other companies also experienced a large drop in the share price with high shipping costs etc - I question whether that was the wrong decision but of course not privy to any detail about stuff and he had sold his entire shareholding when still CEO I believe.

I don't think anything said on this thread will significantly effect the IGR share price so my negative outlook is not a short play but a genuine worry that the short term outlook is poor.
I have not read the results in full yet, but only taken a quick look.
US consumer sentiment is falling and so are advanced orders. UK orders are down. What are the reasons for this? Competition or trying to push margins to high?

t2r Patience.
Fall has been on low volume.
Always felt the IGR share price was "managed" down and up.
May be an opportunity to top up ahead of results. Happy with my exposure and profits so not adding.

A year to the day since the TU that saw IGR share price fall 58% on the day.
Despite resent strength share price needs to rise 50% to get to that pre TU price.
