Posted at 09/11/2022 08:29 by graham1ty Garry has presented this as an inherited problem, something to he took on. Well, who was Chief Operating Officer for almost a year prior to the suspension ? Step forward Garry Stran, who joined PCF in July 2020. He must have seen the business and systems, and worked with them, and in them, for almost a year prior to uncovering the issues. Yet, lo an behold, when historic problems emerged, it was Garry who led the charge to change everything: systems, accounting, auditor, reporting, staffing levels. This collapse is presented, by Garry and Caroline, as caused by the accounting fiddles ( yes, naughty, but not criminal, and neither incident effecting cash, profits, or the underlying business). No, what has destroyed this business is the remediation. The measures they have taken “to rescue” PCF have actually destroyed it. Does anyone think that the PRA wanted PCF to go under ? Does anyone really think that this was the purpose of the remediation ? And, because of the appalling communication with shareholders, none of actually know what happened. But, in slow motion, between very rare RNS, we watched millions, tens of millions, of overhead getting spent on making PCF so bloated that it was no longer viable. Garry talks of cutting costs: so all those myriad new staff members, recruited at enormous cost, now get made redundant…..at enormous cost. And Garry still thinks he has done well. I have only met him once and I just thought “ego”. Smug, complacent, casual, incapable of self reflection. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
Posted at 04/11/2022 11:33 by cc2014 I have looked at the equity recently. Firstly Castle walking away is not good. They would have been able to strip out the non-exec Board costs, a proportion of duplicated compliance staff and all manner of other overhead. Knowing this and having had full access to the books they still walked away. I appreciate when they walked away funding costs were going through the roof due to Trussenomics but it does put a ceiling on the share price which isn't very high. It leads me to think that there are more problems at PCF than we are aware of. I don't mean more compliance problems or anything untoward, more just an inefficient company which would take a long time to sort out or perhaps poor risk analysis on the loans or perhaps just a poor customer base. Something anyway, I'm not sure what, or maybe just hundreds of small annoying things which individually mean nothing but together become considerable hassle to sort out. All conjecture of course in this paragraph but my gut is telling me something is just not quite as it should be else Castle would have done the deal a long time ago. Then, I did some maths. I took the net assets and tried to work out what would be left if PCF was run down to say 10% of it's existing loan book within 5 years and then selling the rest to a third party at this point. The current net assets are quite strong on this basis because of the amount PCF has to hold for regulatory capital which gets released as the long book shrinks I found this quite difficult but I drew up some assumptions about writing down intangibles, writing off the tax credits available and then plugging in some numbers for losses for the next couple of years. Then I added a wild guess at redundany costs as the business shrinks. The trouble I ran into was trying to guess the impairment number in relation to a debt collection from a demotivated team. Selling the loan book to a third party was an alternative. Where I ended up surprised me in that there was more left than my best guess before I started the analysis, but it's very dependent on the impairment number. I also had to consider the opportunity cost of investing elsewhere which realistically is now in excess of 10%. I haven't bought, there wasn't enough in the trade given the unknowns to entice me. But what it did show is that there is an exit here for Somers without them losing face. They can close it down without putting any more cash in and stay on the right side of the PRA. They have other businesses and whilst they are commercially seperate they wouldn't want the stain of a bailed out bank on their reputation. Along the way once PCF is significantly derisked I'm guessing there might be opportunities to sell it for £1 or £1m or £5m or whatever. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but given PCF aren't writing new business effectively we are at the start of this, with possible divergent options along the way, if somewhere along the line they can stabilise the business. From the outside stabilising the business should be possible, their competitors make a profit, but then I return to Castle walking away. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
Posted at 21/9/2022 09:00 by cc2014 I sort of agree Graham but I'm not it's clear to me the business model was ever great and I say that as an ex-shareholder who believed in what I heard from Scott and had poured over the numbers. For sure, if you ignore the impairments it was profitable. I think they weren't booking enough impairments though in a timely manner and thus they flowed through later in big lumps. I think the impairments are probably kitchen-sinked and could now be more than they need to be. I'm also not sure the cost base was ever right to take on the costs of running a bank. I agree it shouldn't be the extra £10m or whatever, but ticking along underneath it should have been a bit, say £2m pulled out of thin air higher. The £2m would/should have avoided the mess PCF has become. What I can see is that regardless of well or badly PCF was being run and whether the cost base was or is correct or not, others are making it work and therefore PCF should be able to do so going forward. Albeit, it's my view the impairment number for all banks is going to start looking problematic for the next couple of years, which is absolutely the worst timing for PCF. What I hope for all shareholders is that the new non-exec is pragmatic and able to help forge a path where the £10m of overhead can be reduced. That's what's needed. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
Posted at 02/9/2022 06:43 by cc2014 #4191 What you are missing is the lack of capital you refer to in post 4190. PCF has enough regulatory captial to keep going at its present size and given enough time it will sort its problems out and turn a profit and the 3p may be considered cheap. The issue is that the size of the regulatory capital is linked to PCF's profitability and PCF has no ability to withstand signficant losses without that resulting in a reduction in the loan book. We are heading into a consumer shock this winter over the cost of living due to inflation/mortgate costs/energy costs. It is hard to see PCF's impairment number not rising. Also, given the increase in cost of capital due to higher interest rates, it's hard not to see their NIM not being under significant pressure. All this is true regardless of whether Castle buy PCF or PCF bumbles along as it is. Sure, if Castle buy it I'm sure they can strip out some costs but are they enough to overcome what is surely going to be on-going losses for some considerable time. And would Castle get it for a much lower price in a years time? Read Full Thread Follow Reply

Posted at 06/6/2022 11:37 by cc2014 #4022. Sad to say as an ex-shareholder and someone who would like to see PCF do well, I'm struggling over the future. We now have reported losses in 2020 & 2021 and losses in 2022 are going to be significantly higher than 2021. If I'm brutal I have to question whether if the business can't make money over a three year period in which we've seen the value of the security behind those assets be the most bullish in memory (second hand car prices rising so you can sell a car for more than you bought it), then is there a viable business at all. Of course others make money from lending of this type so there's no reason PCF can't but PCF can't seem to. It's my view we are at the top of the bubble with asset prices and going forward PCF's impairments are going to have to deal with falling assets prices as security. I also worry about their NIM. They've borrowed £60m from the BOE at some crazy low interest rate. I don't know what it is but my guess is lower than 0.5%, perhaps as low as 0.1% and that will have to be repaid in due course but definitely by 4 years after the loan was taken out. If they have to replace that with say borrowing at 2.5% from savers, that isn't going to help. A rise in the base rate to say 2.5% at the BOE isn't going to help either as they have to pass that on to borrowers and will this affect impairments. If you take a very broad view that PCF have requested £4m from Somers for regulatory capital purposes but their losses are significantly higher than that reported in 2021, how long is the injection of cash going to last? The loss in 2021 is £3.1m and it's going to be significantly higher. Let's guess. Say £5-10m. And probably followed by a loss in the next year. The issue is that if Somers don't tip in the £4m capital, PCF loses money year after year as it doesn't have critical mass and then it's a vicious circle as their lending is constrained by shrinking regulatory capital. If Somers do tip the capital in, it's roll the dice time and take a view of how much you believe in the management team, how much of the remediation costs go away over time and your view of the resilience of borrowers to keep paying in a higher inflationary and interest rate environment. Let's see what the interims say which I assume will have to be published before the capital raise at the end of June. If we are looking at a full year loss of say £5m that's bad but kind of not too bad. I can see a path back to profitabily over 2 years. If we are looking at a full year loss of £10m things look bleak indeed. The thing is if the loss were only £5m for this year and then say £2m for next year I don't think Somers would be tipping the £4m in. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
Posted at 25/1/2022 17:55 by toptomcat ST comments in ICPCF's recovery potential revealedThe Aim-traded specialist bank has finally resumed trading again and its long-awaited results highlight an undervalued profitable business with a solid loan bookPCF's recovery potential revealed· Net loans and advance down slightly to £425m· New business originations a fifth lower at £122.9m· Less than 4 per cent of portfolio in forbearance at 31 March 2021· Interim pre-tax profit halves to £1.2m due to sharp rise in cost-to-income ratioShares in Aim-traded specialist bank PCF (PCF:15p) finally returned to trading this week, having been suspended since last summer ('PCF's financial control failings exposed', 28 June 2021).Previous management's failure to properly report PCF's exposure from funding provided by PCF Bank to its wholly owned subsidiary Azule led to an Independent Review that also identified several deficiencies and failures in PCF Bank's financial control and reporting function. It has been a tortuous process for the new management team to put in place the requisite reporting and compliance procedures as part of the overall remediation process. It has come at a cost, too.Although the net interest margin dipped only slightly to 6.8 per cent in the six months to 31 March 2021, and net operating income rose 4 per cent to £14.7m, PCF's cost-to-income ratio ballooned from 48.2 to 66.3 per cent as operating expenses rose 40 per cent to £9.8m. The upshot being that although the credit impairment charge declined from £4.7m to £3.8m, the additional £2.8m of operating expenses meant that pre-tax profit fell from £2.5m to £1.2m. However, there are several positives.Firstly, the impairment charge included an additional £3.2m provision for defaulted receivables that were either seriously in arrears or where the assets acting as security have been sold. It looks like a kitchen sink exercise to clean up the loan book.Secondly, PCF's stable capital ratio of 16.7 per cent remains comfortable as does its liquidity coverage ratio of 488 per cent. The £425m loan book is being funded by £338m of low-cost customer deposits, £59.6m of drawings against the Bank of England's ultra-low interest rate Term Funding Schemes, and the balance is from £54.9m (21.5p a share) of shareholders' equity.Thirdly, impairment charge on the £186m consumer loan book (mainly used car loans) was minuscule (£0.4m) and is likely to remain low given that used car prices have soared in the past 12 months, so even if a customer defaults there is hefty security. PCF's £64m bridging finance loan book is high quality (nil impairments) and is well diversified, too. Moreover, with 93 per cent of new business originations in prime credit grades, then default risk has diminished.Fourthly, the £175m business loan book incurred slightly lower impairments of £3.1m, but the majority of the charge represented the kitchen sink exercise.Investors need to wait the release of the annual results (to 30 September 2021) for when the board will reinstate financial targets and guidance. However, PCF remains profitable even at this low point, has successfully navigated through the Covid-19 pandemic and a major overhaul of its management and financial controls, and retains a solid loan book which generates a stable net interest margin.Priced on a 31 per cent discount to book value, the shares offer recovery potential. Hold. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
