Dunno. There was a market update this afternon - did you read that?
I did. Strange thing is that I find the market announcement to be positive.
Underlying FY16 guidance unchanged: SIV continues to expect FY16 NPAT $23-24m (before one-off loan note break costs and after deferring costs associated with originating new rental contacts). This compares to MQe $23.3m and Factset consensus $23.7m.
Preliminary FY17 guidance below MQe: SIV are guiding to FY17 NPAT $23-25m vs. MQe $28m and Factset consensus $28.5m i.e. a ~16.5% miss relative to our expectations at the midpoint. The FY17 guidance miss was due to (1) likely growth rate of GoGetta originations following a very strong FY16, (2) profile of upfront costs and origination budgets, (3) changes to bonus arrangements for sales and customer service staff for over-budget performance, (4) more conservative provisioning for bad debts within GoGetta due to immaturity of the book, and (5) increased investment in people and other overheads to accelerate expansion into eastern Canada and exploit future growth opportunities
Here's Macquarie's quick take on SIV's announcement.
Yes, that seems to be the reason for the share price decline as it happened on the same day as the announcement, 26 February.I guess it's their decision to exit the gogetta business.
Phillip Godkin, chief executive of SilverChef, the equipment brokerage [ ... ] is contracted to, says his company has “around $300m” in equipment it owns in restaurants around the country right now. “A large number of our customers can’t pay, they have no cashflow,” Godkin says. “It has a very material flow-on effect in terms of our own cashflow … I wouldn’t describe it as a disaster, but it’s a crisis."
.... and I am surprised. Maybe lock-down has led to fit-out heaven, because SIV is hanging in. I thought it was a gonner, breach of covenants, even their debentures were on the nose, but somehow the restructure, sale of hospitality business, has kept it afloat.SIV Capital Limited (SIV, formerly Silver Chef Limited) is focused on long term rentals of commercial equipment to small-to-medium enterprise in the hospitality space. The company has a significant presence in Australia and growing exposure to the New Zealand and North American markets.
- an unholy mess. Renting out kitchens and cafe fittings; so 2019.
- last year's AGMOn a personal note, after 33 years since founding the business and with many stellar performances as a listed company in prior years, the past two years has been extremely disappointing with significant loss in shareholder value. Many of the decisions made were on assumptions of very different outcomes.
As the founder and largest shareholder I share your pain and disappointment
