19/4/2018 09:36	kiwihope: Oh Pavey, what has happened to you? Did I really say... "...but people don't usually go on a public forum and say "look out folks if something really drastic happens (and I'm not saying what) this share price could fall 30%." I am a holder of TPG shares. On balance I think the company will do well. I want it to do well. I hope there is no setback operationally. We are on the same side (heaven help us if I was negative about the company and a seller!!). For the very last time, in response to an earlier post I was simply trying to explain what I thought had to happen for the share price to increase and stay there (i.e. not a short-term spike up). In addition I pointed out that I think the present share price is supported largely by the company's future potential. It doesn't pay a dividend. It doesn't make after-tax profits. It's cash is less than half the valuation. This is fine as long as the story stays good. I have been investing in shares for 20 years and I have seen many cases when similar companies do hit a problem and the share price drops more than might be expected. That is all I was saying. You admit this can happen to any company (so I assume you include TPG as one of "any companies"). Pavey my friend, you must be very careful you do not fall in love with this company. You are showing some worrying signs. Please keep your eyes open and at least consider the possibility that something might go wrong. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
18/4/2018 16:07	pavey ark: Kiwihope, as I said I had no problem with your figures nor the logical point that results have to improve to push the share price up. What I do take issue with is the statement that there is a danger of a fall of 20-30% if there is a slip up, whatever that means. You may be a shareholder but I do remember,two years ago, when I pointed out that the Maritime unit was worth £30m and as our resident troll screamed you said I was being over optimistic and it was perhaps worth £15m (going on memory here so apologies if I'm off the mark.) The share price at this time was c. 2.6p valuing the company at c. £11m with £7m cash and the afore mention maritime unit. I certainly do remember you had the same outlook then as today but with Maritime earning £5.6m this year alone I suppose I was way out,but the other way. £23m cash,massive order book and a secure and recurring earnings stream is to be ignored ? As a previous poster pointed out there is no immediate catalyst for a major share price move especially if the market is prepared to ignore what has happened in this company over the last year. I'm afraid your perfectly reasonable post was spoiled by a really silly comment about the current,low share price being vulnerable to some unspecified threat and my point is that every share price is vulnerable but many would crash before TPG. Edit: Your absolutely spot on the money, the whole company is hanging by a thread everyone sell NOW !! I've just had a flash back to the days of the troll and other posters and me batting away silly comments and pointing out the cash pile and value of Maritime and I certainly don't want to go back to that. Who knows the price may fall to 4p with cash of 3p and maritime worth £50m(6.5p) .....as I said, I've been there before!!! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
31/12/2017 21:45	swiss paul: Mr Ark a salutary message for the new year and one that my drive the price. This is an extract from the recent Sharesoc newsletter. These guys look out for us small PI's and well worth joining. Anyway here we go: Fat Santa Award TPG - Phil Cartmell: Appointed CEO of the then Corac in Sept ‘09 with the share price ~40p. Given 2m share options at 42p. 6mos later another 300k options were granted at ~21p. Fast forward to this year - several fund raisings later, several further option awards later, share price is down to ~6p....On 9/5/17 Phil handed in his then 9.3m share options and in return received 22m options at 7p! Of course has v strict vesting conditions (TPG share price needs to be from 9 -12p for full vesting...) Scrooge: * TPG - Phil Cartmell – for amazing destruction of shareholder value while enriching the man who has overseen the process! Happy to say Phil did not win that inglorious award that was one by someone with a bigger self interest - hmmmm even I did not think anyone was more #self centred' but apparently there is: Jeff Fairburn of Persimmon walks away with the Fat Santa award and ........................................................................................... Accrol Holdings wins the Scrooge award, for shocking the market and needing a dilutive emergency fundraise,announcing only a few months after their IPO that their business model is flawed. If it’s any consolation, the Directors who bought in the dilutive placing at 50p are 25% underwater already! IOTS Read Full Thread Follow Reply
30/12/2017 10:37	pavey ark: Right I will now try to explain a little more fully but these figures are there FOR ALL TO SEE and current investors should be very familiar with them. This is rather simple and quick. 1. Current year should see a EBITDA figure of £2.7m/£3m 2. Next year all units will produce even higher figures and recent acquisitions will have 12 months contributions. 3. The existing units( end of 2017) will produce an EBITDA of £5m+ but I will just count it as £4.5m 4. The company should have the bulk of £24m to invest in acquisitions in 2018. 5. The company is aiming at target companies to produce an adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4to6 ( some of these companies are almost forced sellers as they are not in the new MoD supply frameworks) Right, calculation time: There is an industry average (engineering and defence)for EV/EBITDA ratio of almost 10 but I'll use 9 £4.5m EBITDA x 9 = £40.5m add £24m cash gives a TOTAL EV of £64.5m 760m shares gives a projected share price of 8.4p To maintain this price acquisition would have to have an EBITDA ratio of 9 but TPG are targeting companies with a ("normalised"?) ratio of 4 to 6. If the cash brings in an additional EBITDA of say £4.5m we have an EBITDA of c. £9m and if TPG trades on an undemanding ratio of 9 x EBITDA we get a share price of 11p. So a rather mean but certainly achievable range of 8.5p to 11-12p for 2018. I'm afraid this is only a 40%-100% upside from where we are !!! Best to stick to this cautious target range as the market (and certainly some private investors) have never appreciated what was and is going on here. I have a feeling that Maritime is about to boost its order book to rather silly levels and its value must be recognised but I have been saying that for two years and the situation has only become more bizarre. Nevertheless I believe that this year will see a surge in what is a very full order book and this alone could drive the share price to levels beyond my predicted range. Current valuations, projections and predictions suggest 8.5p-11.5p for 2018. NB: Before I am pulled up I have used the rather simplified version of EV in that I have only included cash element.

29/12/2017 18:24	pavey ark: Sorry to be a bit of a wet blanket here and I know this is "just a bit of fun" but if we have a rather ridiculous share price of 6p after recent announcements then I have absolutely no idea of what the share price will be at any time in the future. On a fundamental basis I expect our current EBITDA of c. £3m to rise to closer to £5m by year end 2018 (including this year's acquisitions) I expect the further £20m acquisition spend to add £4m to the EBITDA but not not all in 2018 as they will not have the full 12 months to contribute. The Maritime unit will continue to gain orders and profit and be worth £50m of anyones money but this 6.6p/share valuation has NEVER been recognised. (obviously not when the current share price is 6p for the whole company!!!) I could continue my rant but it is the season to be merry so trying to be positive. We've been here before when the share price was under 3p(£12.6m market cap) and I pointed out that maritime was worth £30m. I am a little miffed that the fund raising has screwed my previous predictions based on a very generous share price of 3.6p Jan 2016 I predicted a share price rise of 50% for the next four years ie 3.6p, 5.4p, 8.1p and 12.15p (by end of 2018) There is little doubt in my mind that the share price would be at my 8.1p prediction for the end of 2017 if the fund raising hadn't taken place. The cash in hand prior to the fund raising was easily sufficient for the two acquisitions completed this year and the cap ex in the new Advanced Manufacturing Unit. This management haven't put a foot wrong with acquisitions so happy to trust them with the £20m+ raised but it has clouded things a bit and has certainly confused those not willing to spend time looking carefully at what is going on. Oh what the hell !! 8.5p/9p very soon and 12p by the end of 2018 but we are in the hands of short term punters so who knows. The only thing I'm certain about is the sound, robust nature of the business and my faith in the management to continue with their good work. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
13/9/2017 19:20	pavey ark: The trouble with valuing the company at this point is the disproportionate amount of cash which certainly distorts things. As I have a 50% compound target for share price growth from my mid 2015/16 average of 3.6p , starting from Jan 2016 I was going along nicely 3.6p,5.4p and 8.1p for this year end. Without the distraction of the fund raising we would have EBITDA of £2.75m ( average of brokers estimates) X 10 + cash of £7m divided by 420m shares and hey presto 8.2p The large cash pile could improve things considerable especially when you see the the February acquisitions are expected to pay back costs in only four years. The management obviously believe they have significant advantages when negotiating with small private companies that now find themselves struggling with the new MoD way of doing things and have said that they can pick up these companies for 4 to 6 times earnings. If we leave the current cash pile in place, bring in the new share and use my valuation (above) for TPG the target share price drops to 7.3p for the year end which is more or less where we are but if the management can acquire companies on something like 5 times earnings then the share price moves to c.11p and that is without the existing businesses improving next year. Some may point out that I'm valuing TPG at 10 times EBITDA but expecting to buy companies for half that figure but that is why management wanted to raise the cash in the first place. As TPG moves to being a tier 2 defence contractor this multiple become even more appropriate. When anyone tries to put a share price value on TPG they simply cannot ignore the Maritime unit or lump it in with the rest of the business as the value of this unit alone is edging towards £45m or 6p a share !!! Cash adds 3.7p per share. After this there is still the services unit that has moved into profit and the engineering unit with a £10m turnover and heading in the right direction.

03/6/2017 08:46	pavey ark: Septblues, I must apologise for that rather "from the hip" response to your detailed and plausible post. I don't necessarily go along with all of your conclusions and I'm making enquiries but I am pretty certain that the editorial staff at IC have a free hand. One thing that is certain is that IC were pushing against an open door here as the share price had reached very silly levels and the prospects for the company were looking better than ever. This may have been very good timing for IC as they like to tell people how well particular tips have done and even with yesterday's share price leap this only puts the TPG share price close to or even less than where it should be at this stage. Looking ahead I consider the most important part of the business to be the engineering unit. If the previous loss of over £1m last year can be reversed there are fairly massive implications for the bottom line and the indications are that things are going well. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
26/4/2017 10:35	kiwihope: The share price is bound to move up and down a bit, particularly a non-profitable company like this which is still largely valued on future prospects. Those prospects do look promising but they will need to be executed well to justify the current price. I have top-sliced twice and now have about 50% of my original holding. That is how I like to do things, not buy or sell all in one go. Pavey is right that TPG could be worth more than the current £30M valuation, but also things may go wrong and it could be worth less. By selling half my holding at a good profit I don't care so much if the share price goes up OR down. That is a lesson I learnt some years ago...don't spend lots of time trying to work out if a share price is going to go up or down (because you never really know). Try and make it so you don't care, i.e. you've either bought some but have money to buy more if the share price drops, or, you've sold some but could sell more if the share price rises. I personally think after the recent re-rating the share price will bounce around between 6-10p or so until the company actually makes bottom-line profits of £1M or so. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
06/12/2016 18:02	the prophet: methinks dear old Pavey must be suffering from water on the brain up in the Lakes or altitude sickness from running up them fells! I bet he didn't laugh louder than I did on reading 'deal of the decade'. Wow, that is some statement, even from delusional PA!!! OK, lets just examine the facts and the reader can decide if this indeed was the 'deal of the decade' and also how the 'deal' has fared under TPG's stewardship. First thing to say the two businesses have had more name changes that any business should have to bear! Wish I was their re-branding guy, would have made a fortune! We've had Wellman Defence, Atmosphere Control Int, now TPG Maritime, but it's all the same stuff, a niche business of sticking air purification systems into subs. Ok, the acquisitions were announced on 15th march 2012. The day before TPG's share price was10.5p and the number of shares in issue was 247m. The share price had already been falling for several years under Cartmell's tenure.So that was a market cap of £26m Fast forward to today,some 4.5 years on, a share price of 5p and 422m shares in issue for a market cap of £21m. Hmmm, share price halved, bunch more shares issued. Don't look like the 'deal of the decade' for shareholders. Perhaps it's just that the market has not recognised the intrinsic value of these gems? Well, have a look at the financial record before and after TPG's control. Before: TPG Maritime t/o £10.4m with an EBITDA of £2.4m for year to end Dec 2011 TPG Engineering t/o £9.4m with an EBITDA of £0.6m for year to end Dec 2011. After: Needless to say in the subsequent 4 years the performance has not hit the heights of the year before TPG's purchase and the record has been patchy, to say the least. The forecasts for this year do offer a glimmer of hope, as TPG Maritime is down to make £3.7m EBITDA, but, unfortunately, TPG Engineering is expected to weigh in with a £0.8m loss. That gives a combined EBITDA for these two businesses of £2.9m, which is £0.1m less than the year before TPG took control! It hardly looks the 'deal of the decade', although PA is surely having one of his laughs with that one. Shareholders have not seen the benefit of this 'deal of the decade', all they've seen since the acquisition is a share price that's halved and almost double the amount of shares in issue. Same old same old. So who has benefited from this deal?......You've guessed it, good old Phil. Not only did he trouser a 'very nice thank you very much' £250K bonus in 2012, for the 'deal of the decade', the deal has been able to keep him and his 'supportive' bod in gravy ever since. You wouldn't have been able to do that on the failed DGC business, so good job Phil spotted the 'lifeboat' and ploughed investors and institutions money into it. It's worked a treat.....'deal of the decade', perhaps it is after all! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
29/1/2016 11:42	the prophet: I believe there are a number of fundamental flaws in the Edison sum of the parts report: The details of the Edison SOP valuation is given in their April 2015 initiation note. They give EBITDA's of Aerospace and Defence (A&D) companies. The sort of companies Edison use include the likes of Rolls-Royce, QintetiQ, BAE systems etc. The market caps range from £113m to £18bn, most of the companies featured are large companies and I question whether a comparison with TPG at market cap £11m is in any way valid. They also look at the valuation of a number of specialist engineers, which may well be closer to the mark. The smallest, Hayward Tyler, has a market cap of £72m, but, again, most of the companies featured have market caps in the £250m-£3.5bn rang, so I again question whether a comparison is valid, I think not.It is perhaps noteworthy that the two smallest specialist engineers, Avingtrans and Hayward Tyler with market caps of £100m and £72m respectively come in with EBITDA of 5.5 and 6.5. Therefore I would suggest that Edison's 10.3 EBITDA is a very full valuation indeed, I would suggest half that would be nearer to the mark, given the examples above and that, imo, is being generous.I just can't see anyone coming in and paying 10.3 EBITDA for ACI. Moving on to the next part of the Edison calculation, Edison value E&P as zero, probably fair enough, although I doubt if you will find anyone to take them off your hands, so possibly a minus zero. Edison then deduct £3.9m from their valuation for 'three times central costs', although the 2014 and 2013 annual report gives central costs in each year as £2m, and that excludes exceptional costs which don't seem particularly exceptional, be it opening the Slough centre, or closing it, or the very hefty £900K it cost in advisers and fees for buying the Wellman companies. Anyway, perhaps they are assuming the costs will be £1.3m this year, then applying what looks like a fairly arbitrary '3 times' to that figure. The trouble with the Edison methodology is it grossly overstates the value of ACI for the reasons given above. Nobody is going to come along and pay £30m for ACI. But, if we worked on the basis that miracles can happen, then that £30m will not be fully reflected in the TPG share price as what will be left will be a bunch of central costs, a loss making/break even E&P process combined with an investor deep distrust of the current management due to their track record of shareholder value destruction. Or, put it another way, the market won't trust them to use the cash wisely. Edison's bottom line on the SOTP valuation gives an 'implied fair value of 7.3p', which is a market cap of £30m. That looks hopelessly over optimistic,imo and for the reasons stated above, but one would think there should at least be some upside from the current £11m market cap. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
