Reversion to mean occurs more often than not after such a selldown and I expect the bulls behind SKC to see it back into 430+... I do not see much downside in holding for a short term from my entry.

Any sell down of this size usually involves the one seller needing to discount down to a level where other sizeable buyers will find attractive to 'help' relieve the seller.
Bought a small parcel last week for medium term hold, purely on basis of Rob Campbell being the new Chairman.

I use the 'Mary Buffett' model of compounding reinvested retained earnings to value my shares. That involves an assessment of ROE which based on the Auckland assets alone is 27%. The problem is the ROE on the other assets is much less, around 8%, so what to do?
As a conservative assumption I have assumed the Auckland based New Zealand Convention Centre will not be built by SKC, but the existing Auckland assets will retain their cash generating ability demonstrated in rugby world cup year. The non Auckland assets I have assumed will earn 8% on apportioned equity.
Putting those figures into my model and using a ten year time projection and using a buy price of $3.80, I believe the annual return on SKC shares will average around 5.12% net or 7.4% gross. This assumes steady dividends reinvested in those overseas properties and a share price in ten years time in the mid four dollar region.
I guess that outlook will sound fairly boring to some. But I favour boring investments, the more boring the better.
I wrote the above in September 2012.
5.12% on $3.80 represents just over 19cps. Dividends have averaged about that. With a share price of $4.25 we are up 45c since this post, and if anything maybe we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. So all looks on track, although my conservative assumption of SKC not building the Convention Centre was wrong. At any rate we are well overdue for an updated good look at SKC.

1/ Buffett Test 1 FY2016: Top Three Position in Chosen Market
Originally Posted by Snoopy

Sky City Entertainment is the sole operator of casinos at five distinct locations across Australasia. The relative size of revenues for FY2017 is shown in the table below.
Sky City Business Units |
Revenue |
Percentage |
Auckland |
$507.021m |
50.7% |
Hamilton & Queenstown |
$59.370m |
5.9% |
Adelaide |
$152,993m |
15.3% |
Darwin |
$117.872m |
11.8% |
"High Rollers" |
$162.391m |
16.2% |
Total |
|
100% |
‘Revenue’ encompasses casino, hotel, food, beverage and, at the Auckland business unit, tourism revenue associated with the Sky Tower. Casino revenues represent the ‘net win’ to the casino from gaming activities. (‘Amounts Wagered’-’Amounts Won by Punters’). In FY2016 77% of revenue came from gaming and 23% from a combination of hotel food and beverage. The EBIT picture is much more skewed, with 69.3% of EBIT coming from Auckland in FY2016. ,
Sky City is the only licensed casino operator in the geographic centres in which it operates. It is hard to imagine a stronger market position than this.
Conclusion: Pass Test

2/ Buffett Test 2 FY2016: Increasing ‘eps’ Trend (one setback allowed)
Year |
Normalised Net Profit {A} |
No. Shares EOFY {B} |
eps {A}/{B} |
FY2012 |
$138.870m+0.72($4.274m-$1.756m-$0.582m)= $140.264m |
576.958m |
24.3c |
FY2013 |
$127.382m+0.72($3.235m-$0.947m+$0.249m)= $129.209m |
576.958m |
22.4c |
FY2014 |
$98.537m+0.72($9.170m-$0.995m-$2.125m)-0.72($0.934m)= $102.221m |
582.088m |
17.6c |
FY2015 |
$128.744m+0.72($4.316m-$1.348m-$1.077m)= $130.106m |
587.473m |
22.1c |
FY2016 |
$145.672m+0.72($1.553m-$0.944m-$0.709m) +0.72($2.7m+7.6m)= $152.319m |
656.987m |
23.2c |
Notes:
1/ Each year’s profit is adjusted for ‘restructuring costs’, ‘property plant and equipment sales’ and ‘exchange rate contract losses/gains’.
2/ FY2014 result adjusted for sale of the Christchurch Casino shareholding.
3/ FY2016 result is adjusted for $2.7m of planning expenses from the abandoned Hamilton hotel project and $7.6, representing the book value of a now demolished car park on the Auckland Convention Centre site.
4/ These are all 'actual profits'. I do not subscribe to using the 'normalised profits' that management seem to favour.
We see a steady drop in 'eps' over three year before two years of recovery.
Conclusion: Fail test

3/ Buffett Test 3 FY2016: ROE > 15% over 5 yeras (one setback allowed)
Year |
Normalised Net Profit {A} |
S/h Equity EOFY {B} |
FY2012 |
$140.264m |
$809.1m |
17.3% |
FY2013 |
$129.209m |
$812.9m |
15.9% |
FY2014 |
$102.221m |
$773.8m |
13.2% |
FY2015 |
$130.106m |
$816.9m |
15.9% |
FY2016 |
$152.319m |
$1,113.0m |
13.7% |
The FY2016 result is a little unfair. The end of the financial year is 30th June. So the $263m of new capital raised from shareholders in June 2016 was only on the books for a month. If I remove this new shareholder equity from my calculation I get an ROE for FY2016 of:
$152.319m/ ($1,113m - $263m) = 17.9%
On this basis I am prepared to overlook the failure for FY2016.
Conclusion: Pass Test

4/ Buffett Test 4 FY2016: Ability to Raise Margins (3 year trend sufficient)

Revenues {B} |
FY2012 |

$960.2m |

Despite the net profit margin being less than five years ago, the turnaround trend over the last three years shows that margin improvement is still possible.
Conclusion: Pass Test

Conclusion: Buffett Growth Model Suitability FY2016 Perspective.
SKC is not a suitable company to apply the Buffett growth model to right now, because the the 'earnings per share' increasing trend that is required is not there. This doesn't mean that SKC is necessarily a poor investment though. It just means that we need a different method to analyse the likely investment potential from here. And that means rolling out the 'Capitalised Dividend Model' method (!). Stay tuned.
