In 2020 APH paid $110m for the menopause supplement Amberen:



APH quickly lost control of the product and wrote down a good chunk of the cost. When they bought it, the turnover was c.$27m; in 2024 it's probably c.$13m.

Health & Her looks like a superb brand that is on it and has plenty of space to grow. Probably the most interesting acquisition VLG has made since listing.

Can it help them get on an earnings upgrade cycle?

So 42p was too much to ask for. Not even asking for alot.

It looked like it was going to go through 40p. There was definitely a big buy order in the market that moved the price up, but then a barrage of sell orders hit at 39.5p to exhaust that order.

Traders spotted it and started selling - the price starts to move down. I caved and gave in too - you can't fight this right now. I'm okay taking little losses or paying the spread where need be.

The price is now back near the start to where Slater has been adding. Is that fund picking up these 100k blocks today around that 36.5p mark today? It clearly needs to hold this level because the sellers are relentless - they just do not stop.

Forced selling and a mix of apprehension on the update likely explains the continued moves here.

Playing it safe now and wait for the update. Too many cautious updates out there - doesn't fill you with confidence. Let's see a firm update to prove the sellers wrong.

The forum here have probably called it. Slater must be playing for an eventual take out. Well, alot of our market is just sat beaten down waiting to be picked off.

Roll on the update!

C3, it's only a matter of time, imagine how cheap vlg is in dollars.

VLG has plenty of production space to bring many more products in house, hence why they keep buying the odd co now and again while also developing new products.. This drastically cuts costs along with VLG's distribution network.

Looking at Health & Her Limited these synergies will play out nicely in 2025 which should move H&H into a healthy net profit.
VLG do have a habit of picking these companies up then waiting for net leverage to fall to about 1X before going in again.

Slater can see the plan, no doubt he's spoken to directors with the end game being VLG sold with an extensive package of self care products, all under one banner.

A little tick higher, but important.

And now we find out if this is going to break higher.

The offer at 38p has been closed to buying for days, no shares available. A negotiated 10k buy on Friday was the only buy at 38p. That moved one (out of the two) market maker that was sat on the offer at 38p.

Another single negotiated buy this afternoon of 9k has alleviated the other market maker on the offer at 38p, to allow the offer to shift from 38p to 38.5p.

Once more there are two market makers on the offer at 38.5p and the offer is closed to buying, negotiated only. In the past with VLG, this could indicate the beginning of a move higher. Have to see if any shares become available at 38.5p, but whoever (might be Slater) has gobbled up those big blocks might have cleared out sellers to allow a little pop.

They haven't disclosed. They are still in the market wanting to buy in size.

I only bought here because of that sizeable mopping up or it was a wait for the update. Ideally want to be sure and see that update (maybe overly cautious?), but if this buyer has cleared out shares at these price points, then it might pop higher so it seemed worth a few rather than chasing.

Maybe some are waiting for the update. There is no interest here, as per most out there.

In the past they'd have been like "Wow! Slater is adding more. That is a huge stake build" and come flying in to buy, even if the 3% threshold had been crossed. Nowadays it is just like "Meh! Who cares. It's a pants market...can it even go higher? Who cares! Better to just sit it out".

Should have been miserable and not even tried! Ha

Some suggest that VLG overpaid for the recent acquisition. My initial thought was that a full price was paid.
I bought the shares because I thought it was a well managed company with good prospects. I expect the directors have done good due diligence regarding the acquisition.

I am hopeful that the update which last year was on 1 Feb will give an update that the aquisition was a good buy. I anticipate no upward movment in the share price until the trading update

Investing isn't easy when you see virtues in a company and the share price heads in the opposite direction.
Being an investor is difficult at times and many people aren't cut out for it.
There were are few sellers this morning and market makers marked the price down to attract buyers and make their turn.
The price markdown attracted a few more sellers which wasn't helped by the chart looking rubbish.
Volume is light at less that 100K, so only £40K worth.
Investors have to balance risk vs opportunity, but in my eyes this looks cheap on a 2 to 3 year view, but what do I know. Mr Market has a view and currently it's different to mine.
As the saying goes 'If you don't know who you are, then the stock market is an expensive place to find out'.

Excellent new article on the new acquisition from the Oak Bloke:



"Conclusion

VLG don’t say how much below 1X adj.EBITDA/Debt they foresee being for the end of 2025. I consider only a 9% improvement to profit from 2024 to 2025 and only a 25% improvement to H&H profits is simply too pessimistic. Put it this way the 2 ex-owners of H&H I suspect won’t get their extra £2.5m if the business can only deliver £200k extra profit!!!

Beyond that the simple observation I’d also make is that growth in key VLG brands is much higher than 9%, and the headwinds through overstocking which made 1H24 are not recurring.

This is my profit model which includes 2025 (me - see the web link).

I therefore am going to agree with the “double digits” revenue for H&H combined with just 10% revenue growth for the rest of VLG.

Based on a 70/30 split (H&H adds a further chunk to the VLG brands lifting margin) and using a 45% average margin for VLG brands and 32% for Customer I get to a £28.8m GP. Lower interest rates and strong cash generation keeps interest payments below £2m and we therefore see a quadrupling of profit after tax in 2025.

So H&H looks complementary to VLG’s buy and build approach. It will help usher in stronger profits in 2025, which on a £55m market cap suggests a P/E of 8.3X. Even a 15X valuation is undemanding - and that places VLG at £100m market cap, nearly double today.

Is that perhaps why we saw 115k shares each bought by the Chair and NED today? Is that perhaps why Mark Slater continues to accumulate VLG too?"

ST this morning




...Given order book coverage and the second-half weighting, chief executive Jerry Randall is confident of hitting house broker Cavendish’s full-year cash profit estimate of £11.7mn on revenue of £52.5mn. Although the revenue estimate is shy of the broker's previous estimate (£55mn), the improvement in margin and cost control means that cash profit is broadly in line. On this basis, expect 61 per cent growth in adjusted pre-tax profit to £2.9mn and full-year earnings per share of 4.6p.

The other point worth noting is the group’s free cash flow (FCF) generation. FCF of £4.3mn exceeded cash profit of £3.6mn and helped slash net debt from £13.7mn to £10.5mn. Analysts pencil in year-end net debt of £9mn, representing a comfortable 0.8 times their full-year cash profit estimate. Lowering debt not only reduces finance costs, but means more of the economic interest in the entity passes from debt holders to shareholders, a natural catalyst for a re-rating as the 20 per cent share price rise since the annual results highlights (‘Profit growth and lower debt: a lot to like about Venture Life’, 9 April 2024).

Trading on enterprise valuation to cash profit multiples of 5.7 (2024) and 5.1 (2025), and forward price/earnings (PE) ratios of 9.7 and 7.3, respectively, potential for Venture Life to deliver 33 per cent earnings per share growth next year is still being under-rated. Buy.

Share price breakout 44p/45p
Yes there is not a lot of stock about at the moment. I've been buying most days this week and frequently there has been no online quote on the offer but sell as many as you like above the bid.
Lots under the bonnet that isn't reflected in the derisory prospective PER.
Debt being repaid at a fast rate of knots, so plenty of share price upside IMHO.
