How long have ZTF been on main market?

Agreed. I stayed in on a hope and now well down. The share price is back to where there is no benefit from the "wonder material" which I suspect may be too expensive for the market to adopt at present.

Is there any political pressure for the world to adopt Green solutions or is it just marketing like to have? On the political side it's a balancing act and it will always come down on the side of making people happy and comfortable, not poorer and worried, like the new Labour government.

People vote with their pocket so unless ZTF can get a money making product sold to the world, it aint going anywhere (3 years todate 0% growth), ie not worth holding.

With hindsight I wonder what folk’s thoughts are on the cheeky trade by the CTO (that may not be his official title). A reminder, he bought a chunk and sold them a few weeks later for a tasty profit approximately 6 months ago.

I think the (optimistic) view was that he was party to information that should have meant that the trade should never have been actioned - but it now looks like he was simply making a quick buck.

My thoughts are that the share price had got ahead of itself but is now approaching a price more reflective of the underlying value of the company. Less downside but the question is when to pull the trigger. Schroders appeared to pay a lot more for their recent additions to their shareholding

EDIT: The person was N Court-Johnston, I think. He bought and sold ~30,000 shares late 2023/early 2024 at a share price below the current price for both the purchase and current sale. What a bizarre transaction.

Yes jeansy that's about the sum total of it. Nothing has changed except the company was trying to signal caution on timescales. I chose to ignore that mood change but fact is the stock had been overbought a little. You and I have missed a good opportunity to sell and buy back in cheaper. I have no interest in doing that now as there is a decent core business to support the share price at these levels.

There were two points raised in the discussion about potential negative risks to the share price.

The first they didn't quite name, but it is customer satisfaction and sterility testing. The other was rival products.

Both sensible points but in my view these are really non-significant issues in fact.

#1 the company has said this is a case of when not if, so the risk is delay not outright failure. That makes sense to me as the liquid contact layer will use virgin polymer.

#2 That even taking a small % market share of the LPB market will represent commercial success. The Board don't expect the product to suddently corner the whole market as there is always likely to be competition from alternative packaging technologies (especially 'non-plastic') . But given it will fill the gap in market for a closed loop plastic solution there seems to be no rival at all to that.

This is a crazy illiquid share that is currently being played with by someone - as is standard form with LSE SETS, PI off book buys have no influence on the price if someone with DMA is sat on the offer whilst periodically taking out market maker bids. They absorb the buys & continue to tip the scales in the other direction.

In a market like the Australian ASX this isn't possible as there are no market makers on the book, so in a very illiquid share there is nothing to sell into... Thus small companies can safely grow into mid caps without having their share prices undermined on a daily basis.

My view is the LSE has to change their order book system or companies simply won't bother listing, high frequency traders & hedge funds currently have far too much influence and the order book system isn't fit for purpose.

Mirror the ASX, it's a hugely successful market which puts AIM / LSE to shame.

I don't think that David Stirling's ongoing role with ZTF until the end of October is directly linked to the time that it will take to tie up arrangements with an investment partner (or partners).

We know that ZTF is only now starting to invite expressions of interest from potential investors and I would expect it to take some time before preferred partners are identified and then several months before negotiations are completed. It is going to be a complex process and investors will also want to conduct detailed due diligence on ReZorce. If ZTF get to agreed heads of terms (or better) by end December this year, I think that that would be good going.

We have also been told that David Stirling will be helping out with work to develop the Shincell relationship, where ZTF has promised an update at the time of its August interims.

I wouldn't be surprised if David Stirling has an involvement in these two projects (and ReZorce in particular) beyond end October and I think that it would be good news for shareholders if that happens. All the above is going to consume a lot of management time and - in the case of ReZorce - it has to be fitted in around the demands for the core business.

The company will inevitably need to increase its spend on external advisors - e.g. financial (Mazzone & Associates), legal and technical both here, in the US and potentially elsewhere depending upon how discussions with potential investors progress. It basically needs to create a new business plan covering the core and non-core businesses. Exciting times, but considerable challenges.

I went to the AGM, spoke to various directors afterwards and I also viewed the IMC presentation.

So far as ReZorce is concerned, I think the point is that this is not core ZTF business and that it requires skills and resources beyond those which ZTF can provide. I think that they have been very sensible in recognising this and entering into partnership agreements with industry leaders who add significant credibility to the product - and also limiting the initial focus to the cartons opportunity, rather than pouches or other applications, which I expect to follow.

None of us know how this is going to play out, but it is pretty clear that at some point ZTf will exit ReZorce. That could be by way of an outright sale, spinning off ReZorce into a separate vehicle in which ZTF has a much smaller stake or licensing the technology and collecting royalties - or a combination of the above. Until the know the sort of deal that is entered into with a major investor (hopefully by the end of this year), it is very hard to put numbers on this. I gather that that is why the Singer numbers have not been updated recently.

You could well argue that other core business opportunities are being held back by the need to progress the ReZorce opportunity. It is a nice opportunity to have, but there is a lot else going on. Shincell and Design Blue (the latter not even mentioned today, but not insignificant), being obvious examples. I am pleased that management is not rushing any of this.

Zotefoams (ZTF LN)

#Further to go after a strong start to the year

CEO David Stirling steps down today after 27 years at the group. He leaves Zotefoams in excellent shape and with firm foundations to create sustainable, long-term value. Today’s AGM update confirms a solid start to the year with record revenues (+14%), driven by Footwear (+44%). The share price has performed strongly in recent months (+57% YTD), which we think is justified given strong results and positive newsflow. We see further upside given operational and strategic momentum. Recent deals with DBL and Shincell and updates on ReZorce highlight the inherent optionality in the business. Our target price is upgraded from 500p to 605p (driven solely by Foams - more details in the note) and we highlight that our blue-sky valuation (based on a credible path to ROCE recovery) points to fair value of over 900p. Zotefoams should be a core small cap holding in our view. It is a unique business with sustainable long-term growth opportunities underpinned by high technical and sustainability credentials. This translates to an attractive growth profile with our forecasts showing c.16% adj. EBIT CAGR to FY26e. BUY, TP 605p

Yep, thanks for the presentation link, it does give a good indication of next steps with ReZorce and the potential market here looks staggering imo.

Stability testing soon, then if ok, mid May introducing the carton to trade press with the major partner announced. They have already been in contact with extrusion businesses re scaling production very quickly, but obviously will need significant external investment backing at this stage.

The size of the market opportunity for ReZorce is discussed around 62m 30secs in. Indicating worldwide market is 300 billion units yearly and if production just gets to 1 billion units, this would be close to the company size of ZTF today. I think he mentioned an aim for a 10% market share?? It does sound like imo, they will have major customers near straight away, when the product is hopefully set to go.

All options for the possible future business to be considered e.g. selling, licensing, joint venture/partnerships etc. All sounds extremely exciting/positive for the carton product imo, I still don't see any ReZorce development factored into the share price today, so a free carry really.

The next 3- 4 months could be major company changing for ZTF, keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck with your investments here.
