"SRG(formally STS) SP keeps on improving basically doubling in the last 12 months to a $78 mill MC. But delving deeper SRG with a recent property sale and upcoming FY results will have in excess of $30mill in the kitty giving it a EV of $45mill. Have flagged a FY NPBT of $8-9 mill. Very much a diversified play in mining/infrastructure. The chairman is a former Leighton MD. But the big one for me is this contract when known as STS."


No Debt


Approx 63 mill shares on issue mkt cap re $78 mill


3 of Management in Top 10 holders.

S/P finished 7% up. Very happy to hold this for longer atp as work in hand already far exceeds last year plus the 5 year $150 mill contract with EVN and SRG is really just beginning its transition after laying foundations to adapt and change from STS. Stong niches including dams,a patented sure lock system and a huge Global pipeline, newish leadership,loads of cash and an EV of $60 mill.Im bullish.

Thanks for your great ideas and info JT. I've just had time for a glance and looks pretty good in terms of value, balance sheet and predictable revenue. Have you delved into management track record?

[Joshuatree]

Like what i see in the Bios in the annual report but can't remember and record various company management.Still waiting for someone to release a regular online rating / feedback/ history/success etc publication of CEO's,CFo's ,Directors ,chairmen and management. Be an investors bible.

ps a friend spotted this one and i agreed but it took a while.

[Joshuatree]

Has moved up faster then i expected re up 33% to $1.60 atm, Not complaining; thank you mkt ; and friend.:t_up:

[NZSilver]

Should have bough this instead of tpp

[Snow Leopard]

I have only just noticed that this thread is about a security I own.

Most recent purchase was at $1.33 on 8th Sept 2016.

They went ex-div to the tune of 4c on the 15th so more than happy with the $1.54 closing price yesterday.

I like the current fundamentals and love the uptrend.
That name change really did wonders.

Good to see you're back again, always enjoy your posts. What do you make of the merger? Seems positive to me, but haven't been following company in much detail since last year (never bought in unfortunately).

[Joshuatree]

Seen this from jimmy c ,Elles? Im holding still and guess the mkt will eventually warm to it upon seeing integration, synergies etc working..

"It's a merger of equals, meaning the merger ratios for the two companies is determined by last close price. Therefore, the deal would be prima facie fair if you believed that the market price of both companies was a fair valuation for each company.

GCS was forecast to do about $24m EBITDA in FY18 (excl. discontinued operation sale and pro forma for the additional 50% of Facades), had a pre announcement market cap of $168m, and about $60m of net cash and tax loss carry-forwards, implying an EV of about $110m. That means it was trading on about a 4.5x EV/EBITDA.

SRG was forecast to do about $25m EBITDA in FY18, had a pre announcement market cap of $154m and net debt of $6m meaning a $160m EV, implying it was trading on a 6.3x EV/EBITDA.

So, if you assume the two businesses were perfect substitutes for one another, you'd obviously want to own GCS as it's cheaper. But i don't think they are perfect substitutes - i think GCS is a slightly better business as it's more cash generative and takes less long-duration contract risk than SRG does, plus i also liked the idea of owning a WA-heavy business at the bottom of its earnings cycle versus SRG which is more east coast heavy.

So, from my perspective, i've traded a 4.5x EV/EBITDA business that might be a 5/10 quality business, for a 4/10 business trading at >6x EV/EBITDA. Doesn't make sense to me, even if you include the value of the purported synergies.

It's not a disastrous deal - it has strategic merit - but i think SRG holders are getting the better economic deal."

[Elles]

Great, thanks for sharing JT. It's gone up a lot already since I last looked at it, but they do seem to be doing well. Good luck with the merger, at least it sounds like you're getting the better deal once it goes through.

[Snow Leopard]

Good to see you're back again, always enjoy your posts. What do you make of the merger? Seems positive to me, but haven't been following company in much detail since last year (never bought in unfortunately).

I am not back yet, that will be in September.
I still have at least 2 planes, 3 trains, 2 boats and 11 hotels to go (at the time of writing).

Anyway in complete contrast to the piece that JT stole from somewhere I see it as a reasonably balanced merger but with GCS holders getting the slightly better deal.

The market prices shares on, amongst other things, future expectations.

As separate entities SRG has the better growth prospects which gave it a higher 'rating' by the market.
You will notice that the combined entities name appends Global on to SRG and that the most prominent reaction (downwards) has been in the SRG price/volume.

As far as I can see I would be swapping my higher potential growth (and also more volatile) SRG for a more staid conglomeration.

However I have at the present moment it time no particular desire to sell my SRG shares,
and more importantly I am off to see Superstar Rajini super-starring as Kaala today:

No worries mate.There are some great posters on H/C ,jimmy is one of them imo.

[Joshuatree]

SRG has $222 millions in contracts in the last two months and we are hoping to hera of a big US dam contract soon. Lots of cash and plenty of growth here.
Mkt cap $163 mill
Underlying FY19 Guidance range (12 months SRG + 10 months GCS):


– EBIT of $22m to $27m

– EBITDA of $32m to $37m

The chart looks strange with the gap between September and November last year. Were they reinstated on the ASX after the merger? Did that all work out well?

[Joshuatree]

Yeah i think so. Momentum stopped/dropped hence creating an entrypoint as it fires up /integrates and getting heaps of contracts offers the proof and value opp imo DYOR

[Lewylewylewy]

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Seems really fairly priced, but its hard to believe that there's going to be any growth. Hopefully im wrong and you guys get mega bucks. Hard to imagine buyers losing out at this price, but my interests lie elsewhere.
