I should have added that the niche manufacturing businesses of RCDO do not make them a natural fit for a typical consultant in the E&E sector, however, it will be interesting to see what other divestments (if any) the Group make over the coming months as they deliver on their new strategy.

An attendee at the recent CMD raised this question re: the Defense business iirc but mgt confirmed that this business was still aligned with their strategy.

Hi Tenapen and other posters

I am a new investor to the Group and thought i'd jot down a few points for discussion as i'm a big fan of the engineering/environmental/energy consulting sector having worked in the sector myself since 1990.

Although I've been aware of Ricardo for a few years, for some reason i've never looked at them, probably as they are not a pure-play consultant and hence their profile is somewhat under the radar compared to peers such as RPS, WSP, AECOM, Atkins etc.

Having just partially exited from my investment in RPS (built up from 2019 right through to July 2022), I was reminded by another investor of RCDO and duly watched the CMD presentation from May and came away suitably impressed enough to make an initial investment.

I assume other investors are aware of the considerable M&A activity in this sector over the last 10-20 years with RPS alone having made 85 acquisitions over this period with larger peers such as WSP and TetraTech being equally as acquisitive.

Listed consultants who have succumb to M&A include WSP, Atkins, WYG, Sweett Group, Hyder, RPS and Waterman. Private deals are considerable more numerous.

Liberum recently produced a note (02/08/2022) including a peer group comparison table showing the disparity between the valuations of RPS and RCDO against their (admittedly larger) peers.

RPS has since been acquired for just over 1 x sales (PE25) and this multiple is inline with other deals i've tracked. ERM acquired KKR in 2021 for 3.75 x sales but this is an outlier in valuation.

With the new Group strategy defined with a clear focus on the E&E sector which is facing some fantastic tailwinds, the current valuation of RCDO of 0.75 x sales (PE12) seems anomalous and whether we see M&A activity or not, I have an initial 600p+ valuation on the Group and look forward to the results in Sep followed by the AGM in November where hopefully some other investors will also be in attendance!

I think being an all inclusive company does make RCDO a better company.

As to a more profitable company ! thats not down to one person but team work.

My opinion only.
