Yes still in and getting towards b/e!

I expect it to get marked up today and looking to see a break of 130 which I think is resistance

Still no talk about profit, it’s all about turnover and hiring more people.

Directors lifestyle company to stroke their vanity only it seem to me.

Still it would not surprise me to see the share price rise.

Good luck if you’re still in Toffeeman.

Short but sweet TU. All still on track.

I think that's the strongest presentation I've seen from them. Didn't catch it all live yesterday, so just watched the replay. Very impressive, conveying a strong sense that they know what they're doing.

Agree with Clocktower, I was hoping for more profit and am concerned with executive costs when the profit growth trajectory is so slow. I trimmed 25% today but the rest I'll sit on for another year or so as I'm optimistic margin will feed through (and I might even break even ;) ). As its content impact grows it could still be seen as an attractive acquisition target by distribution platforms needing more content quickly...

1gw, If you have more than a few thousand shares, I bet you will have trouble selling them at anything near £1.20 - then see what the market thinks.

Better than lifestyle but no revenue.

The results say absolutely nothing new which is why the share price has not moved.

[2magpies] 22/4/2022 08:00

revenue but no profit.

lifestyle? anyone?

[1gw] 22/4/2022 07:20

These things (rescue/turnaround) don't happen overnight clocktower. And there's been a pandemic which has played havoc with some of the plans. But having rationalised the business to improve margins and attracted in new talent to drive creativity and growth, the business is now well positioned to grow both revenue and profit as commissioning returns post-pandemic.

Still losing money though 1gw - credit is only due when all stakeholders are rewarded and not before, as all the fluff is just window dressing to cover the greed and self worth, while drawing more than the Prime Minister - very much more.

Since he has been in charge, how much has he and W.S drawn and how much money have shareholders assets deprecated? Take a look at the facts.

Take a look at diluted earnings over the past couple of years, and look how bad that looks.

EBITDA in H2 means nothing if the same follows be it in H1 or H2 - the result is a net loss for the year of over £1,000,000.

Still you take your pick, hang on and live in hope or take profits (if you have any).

Good Luck.

I suspect if you have missed the doubling in the share price you would be a bit miffed ! As well as turning the business around Mark has pulled in some real top talent here that will drive growth going forward.

[1gw] 22/4/2022 06:54

So you don't credit him with turning round the business, taking TV production gross margins up to 37%? That will pay for a fair bit of executive compensation. You're also quoting (and in the CFO's case mis-quoting) the 18-month compensation numbers for the period ending 31st December 2020, not last year's numbers.

FCF positive and adj EBITDA positive in 2H and an upbeat outlook statement.

[clocktower] 22/4/2022 06:22

Mark Browning still milking it for all it’s worth I see, bonus of £162k for what? Total package £688,000 and W.Sawyer £388,000, no wonder the company still makes a hefty loss.

Salaries like this from little enterprises just go to show what a lifestyle business this is. A disgrace, and what other perks come with the job, that are just company expenses?

Notice the drop in receivables?

[1gw] 13/4/2022 17:49

There's been a bit of dilution along the way, I guess, but it's a nice picture...

[clocktower] 13/4/2022 17:34

Well done. That chart looks promising.

[1gw] 13/4/2022 17:04

Doesn't look like quite such a spike on a 5 year chart. Plenty of room to run?

Gap well and truly closed next resistance 130 then 150 then....

[1gw] 13/4/2022 12:48

Onwards and upwards.

[1gw] 12/4/2022 15:45

I sold some today to lock in the gain (nearly 50%) after that impressive spike. Good to see it tick up again at the end.

[1gw] 08/4/2022 13:59

Volume appears to have dried up. Buyer(s) finished, or just taking a breather?

[1gw] 01/4/2022 14:11

A bit more volume today. Have they moved the bid up far enough to tempt out a seller?

[toffeeman] 01/4/2022 09:00

Gap nearly closed and then looking for 150 which would see me in profit on both holdings (one is ok now)

I might even think about buying some more!

[clocktower] 01/4/2022 08:02

Good Luck, Good to see it on the up still.

[toffeeman] 29/3/2022 09:49

Hi Clock,

Still got that gap from early 20 to fill.

Directors options look too easy now! Guess they will want to get it sorted for a trade sale in a couple of year's time.

So I shall hold for the foreseeable - at least it looks like it's OK now.

Just wonder how their documentary on Putin is going :)
