headscratcher this one

business doing great..

Blackrock have bought a ton recently (10 million share approx I think resulting in an 8% holding) along with a host of other fundies.

So I feel justified in sitting tight.

Daily Telegraph have an article on potential buyers. A Mr Putman owner of HMV is named. The article indicates a price tag of £100m. Presumably he will use the premises to sell vinyls but that would indicate that the on-going trade has no value?

When we’re on our holidays, price is the last thing on our minds. Convenience is key. High margins, solid revenue.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see us taken out

justice, many UK retailers have been de-rated sharply over the last 6 months - from Greggs to Marks to ABF (Primark) and Dunelm.

The current rating for SMWH looks about fair v the wider sector. Some at least fleeting bounce at the Monday open would expect.

It is worth breaking down the net debt of £997m:

lease liabilities represent the majority at £626m, with an average life of 4 years; the repayment of this will be covered in arriving at the earnings of the business through depreciation and interest over the next 4 years (for example over £180m lease payments were covered in FY24 in arriving at earnings)

£371m is a convertible bond (convertible at £24.99 on 7 May 2026), if conversion does not take place, then it must be repaid, this is currently covered by a revolving credit facility that expires 3 years after the conversion date. If necessary, this could be paid down over approximately 3 years after May 26 from free cash flow(FCF) after paying dividends (FCF in FY24 was £144m and dividend payments £41m).

The balance of the net debt is £61m.

In addition, there is the £75m of cash refund from the pension buy-out (£50m of this is earmarked for share buybacks) and another £12m held in an investment fund for 2 years.

Missing consensus forecasts by ~2% likely explains the price drop today, still a good LT income investment. Dividend well covered by earnings and free cash flow.
