The Moa has been sent to greener pastures, but these boys are gearing up to pour quite a few more pints.

Worth a punt, or will rising interest rates force the Auckland trendies teetotal?

I agree.
Some points of difference with SVR though are that they survived covid and still paid $2.5M debt, opened 2 new bars in time for summer, bringing in 60 foreigners to augment the existing staff.

Management have kept faith to do that.

Steve Ross will be away from the taps, turps & till.

I'm getting thirsty thinking about it, although I'm yet to shout myself a few shares.

If l partake to excess, at least I'll be able to say I've got a recovery stock...

No mention of effects of lack of the 'Good Gas" anywhere yet ?

Probably prudent to get the report out the door fast before everyone wakes up
that there might be a problem coming up

Unless the boys & girls quickly take a shine to their bevies starting to be a bit flat

Perhaps something similar to the economy in the local goldfish bowl after the current Govt
have repeatedly jumped all over it, then departed wondering where all the life had gone ..

• With margins for the Group improving by 4 percentage points compared to the prior year, Savor provides Net Profit After Tax guidance of between $1.5 and $2 million (adjusted for non-cash items).
• With principal amortisation now capped at $1 million annually, Savor forecasts the Group’s free cash flow to be from $3.5 million to $4 million on similar Group revenue, which will provide greater balance sheet flexibility moving forward.
• The new banking relationship with ANZ will have a cost of funds of circa 7% and Savor forecasts a debt to EBITDA ratio of approximately 1:1.

Seems to be a pretty good turn around.
