Maybe time for a big clean out in management to change the direction !
    Must be a massive fallout between the CEO and the board for the last day to be 18 September or one weeks notice.

    Maybe they realised how much quota he was selling and needed to stop him selling an extremely valuable intangible asset. Quota they will never get back which they could have leased. I imagine it has taken years for Sanfords to slowly buy up quota and now it is gone. I say this with very little understanding of the business but can't for the life of me figure out why he would sell any.
    Covid-19 would have also put a dampener on the sales to high end restaurants.

    Agree Aaron. That as well as very bad decisions on vessel purchases with FV Granit and the plastic inshore trawler they bought from Canada. The former has been a total disaster with around $12-15 million (my estimate) spent on it so far and a budget request for another $12-14 million just to try to get it up to scratch. Still catching appallingly. That will take this old heap of ****e up to $60-65 m and they would never sell it for more than $20-25 m.
    The plastic ****e they bought from Canada was so badly designed that it never even got licensed to fish in NZ and was quietly written off.

    I fear their preliminary (MOU only as far as I know) decision on scampi replacement vessels is of similar quality.

    Discl: Happy to be out

    Is it possible that some future re-thinking on the quota system might lead to a revaluation, downwards, of this asset? After all, NZ First may not be around the corridors of power to protect the fishers' interests for much longer!

    Disc: Not holding SAN.

    That would affect SAN and other industry players in a big way, depending on the changes obviously.
    But I can not see that happening and why should it ? In my view NZ and Iceland have the best fisheries management systems in the World. To a large degree, they have managed to do what they set out to do when the QMS was introduced, sustainable fisheries management. No other countries have done it better.

    Fair enough, iceman. I was thinking of the political aspect; the anti-fishing lobby that opposes the industry; the possibility of some tinkering that achieves little but appeases at the expense of quota holders.

    And you're totally correct. That anti fishing lobby is very strong and misinformed

    Here is a link to an article which is positive about future prospects for Green Lipped Mussel farming and mentions Sanford in passing;

    A big downgrade and a terrible result. I'm glad I'm out. Hopefully they will announce soon who the new CEO will be and how they are going to reset the business !

    MKTUPDTE: SAN: Update on 2020 Full Year Results

    5 November 2020

    NZX Continuous Disclosure

    Update on Sanford 2020 Full Year Results

    Sanford Limited (NZX: SAN) wishes to advise the market of certain key
    unaudited metrics from its full year results for the year ended 30 September
    2020. This is ahead of the release of its full results announcement on
    Thursday 12 November, as previously communicated to the market.

    Key unaudited metrics: Note 1
    o Net Profit After Tax (NPAT): $22.4m, a 46% decrease on 2019 ($41.7m).
    o Total Revenue: $468.8m, a 14% decrease on 2019 ($545.1m).
    o Adjusted (underlying) Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT): $38.3m, a
    41% decrease on 2019 ($64.8m). Note 2

    Our earnings reflect the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on
    Sanford's sales channels, primarily to food service, as disclosed in our
    market update on 2 September 2020.

    This result is a continuation of the sales revenue trend which we advised the
    market of in September. However, the fourth quarter profitability was
    further impacted by the following factors:
    o Poorer than expected wildcatch performance in September driven by a lower
    than expected Patagonian toothfish catch.
    o A lower fair value of salmon stock in water with expected future sales
    pricing under pressure.

    The result this year is disappointing, and our markets continue to be
    challenging and difficult to predict because of the evolving Covid-19
    situation. Despite this our cash collection remained satisfactory through
    the year and our balance sheet is strong. We continue to assess and make
    changes to re-position the business to be more adaptable and match our costs
    to the new environment.

    At least they show remorse - They said The result this year is disappointing,

    Seem to say that quite often
