The MMs actually marked the price up, but I suspect as usual short-term traders who shifted the price up pre-results are now exiting with their profits (or losses).

Now off to read the broker note....

Thanks Brummy, especially your opening few paras, wonder therefore if VC world will hoover VLG up in 2024 then?

market marked VLG down on these results, perhaps management will want to take it private?

Looking forward to the investor meets company call on Thursday.

Like the sales progress and product enhancements…..but will there be a game changer here or just more of the same?

I dont like the level of adjustments between the final results and the AOP and AEBITDA.

In this upbeat interview, CEO Jerry Randall of consumer healthcare products firm Venture Life takes me through today's in line yearend trading update & positive outlook for 2024.

Muted response.

Commentary wrt today's in line FY23 & positive outlook

[pedigree_scum] 09/4/2024 07:42

Great set of results. Onwards and upwards

[rivaldo] 09/4/2024 07:42

Certainly reads well on first look, with 5.21p adjusted EPS, net debt falling nicely, selling prices across key VLG brands in UK retail increased by almost 10% this year and a very bullish outlook:

"I am delighted to announce another successful year for Venture Life Group, marked by significant commercial achievements and strengthened financial positions. Our strategic emphasis on organic growth and cash generation led to a faster reduction in net debt despite challenging market conditions. We have made notable inroads in new product development, resulting in increased revenue and showcasing our innovative in-house R&D capabilities. Furthermore, enhanced branding and marketing efforts have expanded the reach of our 9 key brands to a broader global audience, further propelling our growth trajectory. With a strong commitment to improving EBITDA margins, successful new product launches, and digital transformation initiatives, we are well-positioned for sustained success in 2024 and beyond."

Yes.
Hopefully they also give an update on the first 3 months of 2024. They implied license wins and deals along with price rises had come through late in 2023 suggesting I think that they were presumably too late to impact.
Hopefully the current trading outlook can show significant growth.

Nice moves ahead of the results ....DYOR

There's just so many markets to go at for VLG with their products. Debrox sold 4.1m units in the US and that contains Carbamide Peroxide, certainly not something I would stick in my ear... Balance activ has got huge markets to go at, feminine hygiene is worth nearly $5billion in the US alone.
Its worth $1.6billion in Brazil, a market they have started to enter..

Our UK market is worth $780m for feminine hygiene, so it shows you what they have to go at.

Full Year results will be released on Tuesday 9th April.
Should make interesting reading, especially with the recent positive trading update.

FTSE100 down 1%, nervous holders, people taking profits at tax year end etc - normal stuff with market makers using fear to open up spreads, walking down some AIM shares in big steps to shake out weak hands, acquire dirt cheap shares...

For others, its a buying day! Just picked up some W7L cheaply. FY results due April. TU for year end was good.

Next week buyers will return to market with new tax year and fill their ISAs up.

VLG results out Tuesday - anything decent should see the share price re-rate to 50p, I reckon.

[basem1] 05/4/2024 08:47

Jeez more sellers where are they all coming from ?

[basem1] 04/4/2024 16:22

We have got rid of another 5 sellers today Must be about exhausted now Buyers are going to win this battle

[basem1] 04/4/2024 09:27

Thanks Lammy Good post exactly as I see it

[lammylover] 04/4/2024 08:49

You're right basem! - Its the reality of AIM at the moment. Too many PIs either have taken money out of shares in pursuit of higher returns in the building society or from funds, like Downing Micro Cap who are closing down and returning money to investors.

And yet the situation in the UK is so bright for shares this year. Falling inflation, expectant lower interest rates, dirt cheap valuations and either companies being re-rated OR taken over at a premium, a high probability.

PIs will return, when the building society rates fall, but by then all the bargain shares (lowly rated profitable businesses, turnaround stocks like VLG etc) will be at much higher prices or been taken out by private equity.

You are right to be bullish here and load up while you can.

[basem1] 04/4/2024 08:28

And still they sell........

[basem1] 04/4/2024 08:04

Lots of weak holders have sold the last 12 weeks or so Surprised there are any sellers left now So I am hoping for a rise back into the 40's

[basem1] 04/4/2024 08:00

Full year results in the main but yes we will also get an outlook statement Have been adding aggressively

[lammylover] 04/4/2024 07:24

RNS out today - confirms Trade Update for year ending 31/12/23 to be out on 9/4/24, followed by Investor Meet presentation at 1430 on 11/4/24

Earol is trusted medical grade. I wouldn't spray anything else into my ear. I certainly wouldn't use Otex or Earex. Both contain urea hydrogen peroxide..

Urea Hydrogen Peroxide can affect you when breathed in. Contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes. Breathing Urea Hydrogen Peroxide can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing.

[basem1] 02/4/2024 18:13

6p eps projected for next year 55-60p hopefully achievable which is 50% upside

[rimau1] 02/4/2024 16:07

Looking forward to a bullish 2024 outlook statement as we continue to deleverage. 1.25x net leverage at year end and by end if Jan it was 1.1x so we should get some meat on the bones regarding 2024 and hopefully upgrades. We are probably trading on single digit adjusted earnings by the end of 2024
