Today's change at the top of Vp plc is a major milestone for the business.

After >25 years, existing CEO Neil Stothard has decided to retire & hang up his boots (Neil was also apparently an accomplished Oxbridge rugby blue in his day).

Transferring the baton to existing CFO Anna Bielby from 1st Sept.

For investors, I have been covering Vp for almost a decade, and believe this astute transition will work like clockwork.

Sure Neil's leadership, strategic direction & commercial acumen will be sorely missed.

However having spoken to Anna on a number of occasions - I equally know she is a highly capable executive, and will successfully lead Vp plc into the next stages of its life.

Better still, the stock at 575p, looks incredibly under-valued, trading on a 7.2x FY'24 PER.

Results are in line , with adj PBTA reaching a record level. Obviously coronavirus means uncertain outlook in short term , but even without forecasts yet the shares at 800p appear attractively priced, trading on trailing 8.9x PER, 1.9x price:book and 4.9x EV/EBITDA multiples - offering upside potential for patient investors vs peer group averages.

The holy grail for corporates is to create a sustainable edge that produces superior returns over the long term, and whose advantage is not eroded by time or competition. We think specialist plant hire firm Vp, with its strong niche positions, has achieved this. What’s more at 810p, its shares today trade at an historically low 8.0x PER, whilst also paying a 4.0% yield.

Sure there are some macro headwinds, such as Brexit, lackluster global growth and US vs China trade wars. Yet equally the company is performing well, as illustrated again this morning. Here the group said that FY20 was on track to hit expectations. UK infrastructure spend is “holding up well”, whilst housebuilding remains stable, due to near-record levels of employment, low borrowing costs, good mortgage availability and the popular Help to Buy scheme. Partly offset by softness in general construction, particularly centred on London and the South East.

Elsewhere, the £69.2m acquisition of Brandon Hire in Nov’17 has been successfully integrated with Hire Station. Some of the synergies will be realised later, albeit we estimate the deal should ultimately deliver c.£4m of annualised savings, related to procurement/cost improvements, economies of scale and greater asset/inventory utilisation. In turn, boosting the original RoI from 8.7% to >14% - materially above Vp’s ‘through cycle’ cost of capital.

Lastly, despite experiencing a “softer start to FY20” than anticipated, Vp’s International division has recently enjoyed an uptick in activity levels across petrochemical and test & measurement. All told, we reiterate our adjusted FY20 PBT forecast of £49.6m and 1,075p/share valuation – offering 33% upside to patient investors.

another strong set of FY results: adj PBT £40.6m + 16%, EPS 81.8p +18%, div 26p +18%; plus a 'positive start' to new year.

All investors should make their own decisions, Mr Highlands, but this analyst's opinions on Vp in the last 4 years haven't been too far wrong
Posted at 20/2/2018 15:46 by kingston78
You may call me biased, but I am simply speaking the truth. Many people don't understand accounts and those investors rely on what they read in the company's reports. Quite understandably, the directors would like to emphasise the good points and hide the bad points. Some companies pay a dividend even when they have a large pension deficit, for example, to appease investors. This is a political game.

I have analysed the accounts of VP and its main trading subsidiaries. The trading subsidiaries did not perform as well as the way they have been glossed over because the parent company cross charges tiny amount of directors' remuneration to those subsidiaries even though they spent a lot of time on them. Similarly, those subsidiaries receive large interest-free loan from the parent company. Whilst the Group results would be the same, the reporting on individual subsidiaries has been distorted, ie their results have been flattered.

VP continues to chase growth by acquisition. This is a piece of financial engineering to increase earnings per share using cheap debts. This strategy works well whilst the going is good but is not sustainable in the long term because things go in cycle. How is the Group going to service the debt mountain in an economic downturn? VP is not and will not be the last company adopting this type of acquisition strategy until they fall on the own sword some years down the line.
