21/11/2018 10:06	pavey ark: Others may have noticed this but the £2m Naval contract (25/6/2018) doesn't mention submarines: "This order is to build and supply an advanced gas management system, following announcement of a preliminary contract on 12 December 2017. The work, which will be carried out by the Group's Engineering & Technology business unit, will commence immediately and is expected to be completed in 2019" I noticed this in the house broker's Sept update: " This strategy is evidenced by the recent announcements by TP Group partnering with Micropore in the US and the Naval Group agreement covering a new service category of on-board surface ships." The Micropore/TPG technology has obvious applications in submarines but if it is to be installed in surface ships then oil rigs and sensitive control centres could also be a market. As far as the current share price is concerned I must say that the bare figures don't really support a much higher price but actual shareholders are here because we can see the real progress being made and obvious potential that the company has. The share price has risen at a compound 30% over the last three years and I expect this rate of growth to continue. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
10/10/2018 19:28	pavey ark: Catch007, I don't consider my post condescending and if it was it is certainly better than the hysterical and rather illogical post you have just delivered. "What you want is immaterial, you are simply a PI like everyone else on the BB expressing your own opinion" How is my post anything other than an expression of my opinion ? The fact that the management are doing things the way I want gives me some pleasure and the fact that this measured approach seems to be working rather well also gives me some degree of satisfaction but I certainly have no influence and as you rather abruptly pointed out I am just a PI expressing an opinion. Perhaps the real reason for your outburst is your previous rather strongly presented opinion that the money raised should be spent by now. I have pointed out before and hinted at in my previous post that the company does not have a limitless amount of management time and the internal organic growth programme also requires /required attention. Had management "splashed the cash" in what I suspect would have been their largest purchase they could have bought a company that has since suffered a 25% profits downgrade and a share price drop of over 30%. Since the prudent and careful approach seems to be working I think they should go with that. Please note that this is only my opinion and all I do is spend some time researching and sometimes get it wrong. Obviously no reasonable person would consider that I had "slapped down" the posters suggesting a takeover by Cohort but I have spent some time in the past few months looking at Cohort. Although Cohort it is a nice little company it does have an EV of c. four times (from memory) that of TPG but has nothing like that multiple of earnings, order book etc. I also keep a close eye on Avingtrans and again, when the relative EVs are taken into account it doesn't come close to TPG in terms of value for money. I look at both because Avingtrans is an engineering company and Cohort is a defence company. Cohort is a good company that has simply been in the game longer than TPG and certainly would not have anything like the fire power come after TPG. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
12/9/2018 07:27	pavey ark: Cerrito: the only time I contacted them directly was to complain about their repeated use of "market expectations" when the figures were not available to private investors so please send your email. Your second point has validity but the recent change is really only a name change from MS to CaPS. "I do have a concern on the concentration span of management." I can't go along with that one. Space probably came with Polaris and they are just exploiting the potential that they have. Given all that is going on within the company and the change of accounting rules the cash flow figure must be seen as a movable feast. For my part I have always had confidence in this management and these results suggest to me that things are most certainly heading in the right direction. After these results I tried to look as objectively as I could at the results and the company prospects. Using every ratio and standard valuation metric I could find I concluded that using these conventional measurement tools the "correct" share price should be c. 8p. The problem with using these tools and applying the current figures is that I they take no account of growth rate or the trajectory the company is on. As my previous posts have shown, the current results should be seen in the context of the previous results (say the last 3 or 4 years). There is every indication that the company is heading along this steep upward curve. One of the measures I used was a multiple of 10 times EBITDA(close to industry average) and if you add the cash back in you get 8p but there are many growth companies valued at 15 times or more!! A 15 times valuation gives c. 10.5p This company is being valued very conservatively. I note that one poster was considering selling and and buying something with a bit more oomph. If the TPG price is 8p at the end of the year the compound growth rate is close to 40% over the last three years and for this to continue the share price should be 11.5p by the end of 2019. This is certainly good enough for me. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
19/4/2018 08:36	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 15:07	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
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 18:20	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 07:46	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
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
