Simply a stone throw away from another capital raise if things don't improve.
No worries, promise to paint the exterior of all their processing facilities in shocking pink, hand out free pink attire at a special meeting to all shareholders and investors will be happy to tip in another $1,000 million this time. Who needs real earnings when there's such incredible ESG benefits to staff and the planet who according to Synlait are equally as important as shareholders. Reminds me of the old Meat Loaf song "Two out of three ain't bad" ;)
Book Value now $3.90. ....all that new capital
As cash flow positive need to discount that quite heavily. They have $1.3 million of invested capital so need to make about $110m after tax to cover cost of capital which would justify trading above book value
I’d say 220 is about fair price without being too pessimistic ...but what the heck do I know
Another capital raising on the horizon if things do not improve in the next 12 months.

Good summation of why SML (& ATM) are in strife - and will be for a while yet :
“It’s a perfect storm for them,” said Brad Gordon, an investment adviser at Hobson Wealth Partners. “They have just come through a significant investment period, their cost of inputs, milk prices, are high, and their biggest customer a2 is going through a destocking process and therefore volumes are down.
“All three factors are weighing on that stock and I think there’s probably some concerns around debt levels coming to the fore given they are at the end of that investment cycle.”
Brad gordon says - That’s left a2 Milk with higher inventory, which it is selling down before it taps Synlait for more product.
Synlait seems to have excessive levels of inventory as well....hmmm
NOVEMBER 2018

Don’t think that will be happening again .....amazing how much in love with Synlait punters were back then.
