Posted at 15/11/2024 18:33 by mutandis 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. |
Posted at 14/11/2024 17:32 by mutandis 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. |
Posted at 14/11/2024 08:27 by ricardo montalban Same price as 2014, whole U.K. stock market just a capital destructive pos, never recovered from gfc and then brexit started outflows that never stopped. Terminal. |
Posted at 11/9/2024 07:26 by this_is_me Initial response to the trading update is an impressive 10% rise in the share price. |
Posted at 15/8/2024 07:50 by hopefulalways Can't understand why this share has not taken off this year, may be the RNS shows that others feel that the upside is coming at long last. |
Posted at 26/4/2024 12:31 by essentialinvestor Are those 'extra' closures in the US msrket I wonder?..IF so, that may suggest SMWH are at risk of prioritising space expansion over quality. Needs to be watched. |
Posted at 26/4/2024 11:39 by essentialinvestor Yes, but they don't own their locations, they are leased - hence the £1 bn in net debt.History is littled with successful UK retail formats running in to trouble in the US market. Perhaps SMWH will be an exception to the general rule. |
Posted at 25/4/2024 17:15 by essentialinvestor justice, Woolworths was an iconic British brand, as was BHS...(just two examples from a very long list).It's a retailer that is betting very big on the US market. Can SMWH replicate their UK success stateside, is key to the valuation. |
Posted at 25/4/2024 11:48 by essentialinvestor So including lease liabilities, SMWH net debt is now over £1 bn and a chunk of their current borrowing needs to be refinanced in 2026 - and this is currently at an ultra liw ZIRP era rate. |
Posted at 26/1/2024 07:21 by ayl30 SMWH, rns shows how well this co is managed, a long term holding of mine. Bang on strategy and results coming through. Hopefully share price growth will continue to reflect this. Apart from LfL growth another 100 travel stores will fuel growth in coming year |
