FT Europe awards Mano as a long term growth champion with compound growth over 10 years and with commitment to sustainable expansion. Mano 25th in Uk and 152 in Europe. The news flow is gathering momentum as is the share price

In a day of gloom Mano held up. Low volume but perhaps people seeing as the government hell bent on bankrupting small business owners, as not working people, there may be plenty of new cases for Mano. Roll on day three of this shambles of a government.

Thoughtful post on the LSE chat site alongside the same lines as Chester9:

"So, interims out on 19/11. The Trading Update last month looked tantalisingly positive. I sense the Mano hour cometh.

Like all of these litigation funders: the P&L can be put straight in the trash can. It is: 1. CASH 2. CASH 3. CASH 4. COMPLETED CASES (thats future cash). 5. DEPLOYMENTS (thats future, future cash). In that order. The P&L is bullcr*p because the accounting for all Litigation Funders is just a horrible mess. The accounting principles for "normal" companies just do not fit to any of the Litigation Funders. CASH CASH CASH.

After their UK insolvency market being closed for 2 years from Covid, everything is now in Mano's favour. "But they have been promising this for years!!". Wrong. Investors need to be savvy and ideally have some decent knowledge of running an actual business. It takes TIME for businesses and markets to change once conditions change. It is NOT, and never is, a simple flick of a switch (as so many in the wider stock market seem to think). Eg the internet was the early 1990s miracle but it wasnt until the noughties that we really saw the financial impact of the internet revolution. Same deal with AI/AGI: lots of hype. But....it.....will.....take.....time......it always does. Stick with your long term thesis.

Mano has now had some sensible time for its "new NEW normal" to settle in (there is a lot of latency in their model already without the Covid horror-show (the wheels of justice for all funders turn slowly).

The insolvency laws changed back to normal in April 2022. We should START to see that light now hitting the Mano bank account. All litigation funders have superb investment returns. They have all proven that now. Even LCM, I was a little dubious there for a while, but they too have certainly got there now. However, THE key difference is this: with these forthcoming results we SHOULD START to see how very quickly Mano generates cash from those completed case case returns. They say they have completed near on 1,000 cases. Now: to quote some American gezzer: "Show us the money".

I think they will. Why ? There model is so granular. The super fast 12 months to legally complete their cases is very well established over years and hundreds and hundreds of cases. It is a machine. Its a process. Frankly, I think it will be very hard for them NOT to hit some/all of the key 5 metrics above. And that, should just be the start of the Mano recovery. Why? Because the UK macro conditions aint gonna improve any time soon. The worse for the economy the better for Mano. Obviously.

DYOR as ever but this could be an interesting moment from an all time low share price. GLA".

Then a postscript is added. Again, interesting take.

"Postscript:

Apologies, I just wanted to check my numbers on this before making this further point which does (I think) neatly give the "Forensic 505" supporting data to my overall stance I have tried to set out earlier below:

1. Out of the 1,329 investments Mano has made in its lifetime (ie since 2009) as a business: 70% (931 cases) have been made in the 4 years (2021-2024)

2. Out of the 933 cases that Mano has completed in its lifetime (since 2009) 72% (676) have been completed in the last 4 years (again 2021-2024) with an aggregate settlement of...£54m

Remember: it takes Mano 13 months to legally complete their cases (they have told us the bigger cases take longer - that is why I have gone back 4 years). It then (on average) takes a further 12 months to collect in all the cash from the defendants.

It is that tsunami of £54m cash that I am expecting to see starting to hit the Mano shoreline: NOW."

A shame no-one else came to the AGM.

I raised a couple of matters, one of which concerns the Banking Covenants and possible renewal of facility in 2025.

Facts are on pages 10, 49 and 66 of the accounts

SC said MANO are trying to find other long term debt providers "to encourage HSBC to be competitive". Hmmm.

They refused to discuss/disclose the basis and calculation of the new cash basis for covenants required by HSBC.

My feeling, right or wrong, is that there isn't a lot of working capital/facility slack around.

The answer to another question revealed that Gross Cash Receipts (page 19) includes fees payable to MANO's own instructed lawyers which is about 25% of the total monies received.

Manolete, a leading UK insolvency litigation financing company announces that on 18 September 2024, it granted nominal cost share options over ordinary shares of 0.4p each in the Company to its executive directors as set out in the table below. DirectorAward typeNumber of shares subject to optionSteven CooklinPerformance share award 200,000Mark TavenerPerformance share award 200,000Philomena HaltonPerformance share award 200,000 The options were granted under the Company's share option plan. The performance share awards will ordinarily vest on the third anniversary of their grant subject to the grantee's continued service and the satisfaction of performance conditions based on (with equal weighting) (i) earnings per share for the Company's financial year ending 31 March 2027; (ii) average share price over the five days preceding the third anniversary of the grant of the options; and (iii) the group's strategic objectives for the period of three financial years ending 31 March 2027. Sliding scale performance targets apply in respect of the earnings per share and average share price elements, with 25% of the relevant portion of each option vesting for threshold performance, rising on a straight-line basis for full vesting of the relevant portion of each option for stretch performance or better. The extent of vesting of the strategic element will be dependent on the remuneration committee of the Board's assessment of related performance.

I can understand shareholders frustrations here - it took about seven months for Covid-19 to hit MANO but its taking far, far longer to recover. The insolvency laws were normalised in April 2022 - here we are nearly two and half years later and still waiting. I never contemplated it would take this long - it's very frustrating to me too and I have the patience of an oyster.

Nevertheless, the business model is sound and it's clear that recovery is on the way. Also, MANO is now as cheap as chips. At its peak p/e 22 now p/e 7.2, then price 15x sales, now 2x, then Mkt Cap £210m now £51m.

In the short/medium term we have the cartel cases - these are in the books at £15.1m and settlement negotiations are starting. But there is a risk here - these have already been booked as profit - so a settlement at a lower value will generate a p&l loss. However, the settlement cash value is more than the current net debt of £12.3m - that cost c. £1.5m in interest in the full-year 2024. So, removing this expensive debt and becoming self-financing would be a big boost to the bottom line.

So, glass half full or half empty - probably an investment proposition of more appeal to those of a contrarian mind-set ....and those with the patience of an oyster.

They were never going to need a £25m loan facility, as they don't have the staff to warrant taking on the amount of cases £25m would fund. Far better to reduce your loan facility, to only pay for what you are using. HSBC charge for having the facility, even if it's not used. It was good to hear in the presentation that Mano have being repaying the facility in the last few months from cash flow, rather than it growing. With case sizes expected to go back to pre pandemic levels, and with double the amount of cases on the books, there is huge upside potential to the share price imho.

Manolete - Back to the Future!

These financial results provide reassurance that MANO is on the recovery trajectory. It's been a long and painful recovery back from the Govt Covid measures that clattered MANO's business - so it’s great to see that the recovery is clearly underway in last week’s results. The Govt Insovency Service reports monthly CVLs (Company Voluntary Liquidations) that are a leading indicator of market demand. These manifest as cases referred to MANO by the Insolvency Practitioners (IPs). Currently these are running at about +70% above the level that they were in pre-Covid 2019 when MANO’s share price was in the 450p - 550p range some 3x higher than currently. Nevertheless, this is still early days, MANO are still seeing only a trickle of what is likely to become a deluge of cases:

>> Firstly, there is a natural delay between a firm lodging a CVL and it being referred to MANO as a case enquiry, so there's more growth to come;

>> Secondly, the larger and more complicated cases are still yet to reappear in the figures, these will generate higher returns; and

>> Thirdly, Bounce Back Loans are a new post-Covid line of business, that could add significant additional profit.

MANO has increased staff to cope with the demand they foresee. Back in 2019 they had the capacity to manage 275 cases simultaneously – whereas they now have 417 live cases. Another, key metric updated in these results is that MANO achieves a phenomenal Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 131% - this before overheads, which remain well contained.

As demand scales-up cash will be absorbed into working capital as new case investments will out-pace case settlements. MANO has drawn £13m of its £25m debt facility with HSBC and shelved its dividend to preserve cash for investment.

So, great to see a return to profitability but much more to come and profitability should accelerate fast as operational gearing kicks in.
