Posted at 27/11/2024 07:11 by qs99 Agreed. OR maybe he will try himself with a decent size stake to offer his shares to a Mears or the like, to put Kino in play above a quid to realise a big gain?DYOR |
Posted at 26/11/2024 23:39 by nico115 When I met TS last year at the AGMIt seemed to me like he was ready to retire after a long career. Having missed out on this gem by bidding the wrong price it's my opinion that he will be looking to sell at above 100p I think next year will the the year as kino is enjoying explosive growth: To think Tim could've bought us at 65p if he had been wise . What a miss. He will be gutted as he must know like us all that this company is hugely under valued . |
Posted at 07/11/2024 19:14 by qs99 yes no chance below 80p or higher, KINO now need to stick to the knitting and deliver and should see over a quid next year DYOR |
Posted at 05/11/2024 12:12 by qs99 Would be nice for KINO, but so far shares drifting! |

Posted at 02/5/2024 11:26 by dyor2 This is obviously an encouraging update. The remaining uncertainty is over the final DCB contract, which does seem to be a pretty sizeable contract - probably face value of the order of £9m, based on the fact that the performance bond (called earlier this year) was £900,000 (such bonds are normally 10% of the contract value). Kino will have already provided for this £900,000 plus any additional estimated costs to complete the project within the total DCB provision they’ve already made. Could there be a further cost to finally settle this? Hopefully not (Kino must be well aware of the status of negotiations and their internal costs estimates to complete the contract, and will have already provided accordingly). But until this is finally settled the market will probably not value the core business properly. IMV it would be worth Kino paying a bit more to finally exit it (the cost is easily fundable from the cash flow of the core business), but we’ll see.Obviously the current share price, even after today’s rise, substantially undervalues the core business. At 50p the market cap is £31m. So a conservative forecast of £7.5m EBITDA for the current year puts it on 4.1X EBITDA. The biz is highly cash generative (over 90% of EBITDA is FCF), so it’s on a Free Cash Flow yield of over 20%. It looks like a sitting duck for Private Equity bidders, who IMV could comfortable pay over 80p and still make out like bandits. A bid still looks like the most likely outcome here - Tim Scott has 30% and if he’s not going to bid again himself then his obvious exit route is to another bidder. But even in the absence of a bid, a “clean” Kinovo with all the DCB costs behind it, would have plenty of ways of enhancing shareholder value - annual Free Cash Flow of over 20% of the market cap gives lots of scope for shares buy backs or dividend. Today’s statement alludes to that: “with the residual legacy issues of DCB closer to being completed, we remain focussed on capitalising on further growth opportunities and maximising shareholder value creation” It feels like the share price will be held back until the market has certainty over the status of the final DCB contract, but so be it - it’s worth waiting because the upside here still looks very substantial. Once we get that certainty, even if it involves Kino paying a bit more to get it, I’d guess the share price will jump sharply. So I’m happy to hold my 2% and wait. |
Posted at 30/11/2023 18:18 by dyor2 Some sizeable buying today. I’m not surprised, because I thought the results presentation yesterday was positive in a number of respects. Crucially, management made it clear that for all practical purposes they think the potential for any further nasty DCB related surprises is now behind us. Five of the nine DCB construction contracts will be completed in December and a further two by the March 24 financial year end. Of the remaining two, they conformed that one has now been terminated with no further liability (due to the client going into administration), and although the final remaining contract might not be completed until early 2026, Kinovo’s liability is capped at the £860,000 value of its performance bond. In terms of estimated net cash costs to complete the various contracts, there was £1.33m remaining at the end of September. Obviously there may be some adjustments up or down to contract values as the various projects reach practical completion, but probably no more than a few hundred thousand pounds either way, and in terms of cash flow they say there is c. £960,000 of customer retentions on the projects which could be coming back to Kinovo following practical completion. So, as I say, the major DCB uncertainties do now seem to be behind us, and this should become fully apparent by the time of the full year figures.So investors can now start to look to the value of the underlying core business without the drag of DCB uncertainty, and the prospects for the core business seem stronger than ever. Three year visible revenues have grown to £157m, of which they say £66m should be booked in FY 24/5 (turnover was £63m last year). But this does not include any potential revenues from the multiple framework wins which Kinovo has announced. Management said yesterday that at present Kinovo has £72m of tenders out for direct award, and historically has won c.50% of its tenders. There is the potential for a lot more than this over the next few years as the framework clients continue to put work out to tender, and Kino seems to be in the sweet spot of having more potential work than it can handle and is bidding on service quality rather than price. Management stated during the presentation that they don’t need to bid on price (they say they were not the lowest price bidder on any of the new contracts they’ve recently won), and hence they’re confident of maintaining gross profit margins at c. 26%. going forward. Quite apart from the growth prospects, Bullen emphasised in yesterday’s presentation that the key to valuing Kinovo is the strong underlying cash generation of its business, and this should become increasingly evident next year. They should end the current financial year with a small positive net cash balance and in a normal year expect to convert at least 90% of EBITDA into cash, so IMV they should be generating £6m+ p.a. of cash next year, and obviously this will grow as EBITDA grows. They have high visibility of forward revenue growth, and gross profit margins seem sustainable. So in terms of capital allocation, they will clearly have the potential, if they choose, to pay a significant proportion of free cash flow as dividend in 24/5. As I’ve previously posted, all this seems to make the current market cap of £30m look way too low, and if the market doesn’t recognise this then Kino will look very vulnerable to a bid from a Private Equity fund or a competitor. Personally, I’m hoping this doesn’t come too soon, because I’d really like to hold this stock longer term. I can’t find many stocks with Kinovo’s combination of seemingly assured growth potential, high cash generation and low market value. But I guess it will depend on the attitude of Tim Scott with his 30%? He could in theory bid again once six months from his last bid have passed, though I think that’s unlikely - more likely at some stage he sells to another bidder? I’m hoping he’s going to be patient! |
Posted at 13/9/2023 06:08 by someuwin Kinovo plc("Kinovo" or the "Company") Decarbonisation Direct Award Kinovo Plc (AIM: KINO), the specialist property services group that delivers compliance and sustainability solutions, is pleased to announce it has received a direct award with an anticipated value of GBP4.8 million over 19 months through The Greener Futures Partnership's ("GFP") Decarbonisation Framework. This is Kinovo's first direct award following the Company's placement on the GFP Framework as announced on 22 May 2023. The framework comprises five housing associations and over 300,000 homes, representing 9% of the total social housing market. Kinovo's two sub-lots cover two of the framework's five geographic regions, namely London and the South and East of England. In March 2023, the GFP was awarded GBP40.4 million from Wave 2.1 of the Government's Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, which will be match funded by GFP by a minimum of the same value. Total investment value of around GBP95 million nationally is currently anticipated by GFP under this framework between 2023 to 2025. Kinovo's direct award is to undertake whole house retrofit energy efficiency works compliant with PAS 2030:2019 and PAS 2035:2019 for approximately 200 properties. Works are due to start in September 2023 for an initial term of 19 months until March 2025. Following this and other recent direct awards and contract wins, the Company has invested further in its Renewables pillar, strengthening the team with three additional roles; a fully qualified Retrofit Assessor and Co-ordinator as our Retrofit Lead, alongside a Technical Co-ordinator and Retrofit Liaison Officer. These additions will provide further technical expertise and qualifications covering Domestic Retrofit, Domestic Energy Assessment and Green Deal Advisory services. David Bullen, Chief Executive Officer of Kinovo plc, commented: "We are pleased to have won our first direct award under the GFP Decarbonisation Framework, at a value of GBP4.8 million, and the latest in a series of new contracts and direct awards under our Renewables pillar. I believe Kinovo has all the qualifications, skills and experience to act as a "one stop shop" to support housing associations and local councils in meeting the Government's net zero carbon emissions target by 2050, alongside their objective for all social homes to achieve an EPC "C" rating by 2030." |
Posted at 16/5/2022 15:38 by tomboyb Kinovo PLC Update re DCB Kent Limited ("DCB")16/05/2022 4:33pm UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Kinovo (LSE:KINO) Intraday Stock Chart Monday 16 May 2022 Click Here for more Kinovo Charts. TIDMKINO RNS Number : 6689L Kinovo PLC 16 May 2022 16 May 2022 Kinovo plc ("Kinovo" or the "Company") Update re DCB Kent Limited ("DCB") Kinovo Plc (AIM: KINO), the specialist property services Group that delivers compliance and sustainability solutions, provides the following update on developments in the financial position of DCB, its former subsidiary, since the release by Kinovo, on 6 May 2022, of its trading update for the year ended 31 March 2022 (the "6 May Announcement"). Kinovo has today been informed that two partners of CFS Restructuring LLP have been appointed as joint administrators of DCB (the "Joint Administrators"). As referred to in the 6 May Announcement, since the completion of its disposal of DCB, Kinovo has provided working capital support to DCB in the amount of GBP3.7 million in aggregate, to facilitate the completion by DCB of active projects. Prior to the disposal, as also referred to in the 6 May Announcement, Kinovo provided certain parent company guarantees relating to construction projects in existence at the time of the disposal, which were expected to be released by the purchaser of DCB following completion of the disposal. Kinovo is currently establishing the impact of an administration of DCB on the monies it has advanced DCB to support its working capital, which remain at GBP3.7 million, as well as on the parent company guarantees it has provided. The deferred purchase price for the disposal of DCB was based on the successful completion of active projects, upon trade settlements relating to those projects, and on profits for financial years ending March 2023 and 2024, respectively. In consequence of an administration of DCB, Kinovo's directors expect that any deferred consideration it may receive would only likely now arise from trade settlements and retentions related to contracts; this would be linked directly to the administration process and completion of the relevant construction projects. A further announcement will be made to shareholders as and when appropriate. Sangita Shah, Chairman of Kinovo plc, commented: "We are very disappointed to be informed of the appointment by DCB of the Joint Administrators. We are actively engaged with our legal advisors in establishing Kinovo's position in consequence of an administration of DCB, and we are also in direct discussions with the Joint Administrators."
