    Default ARV - Arvida Retirement Villages

    What's the sentiments?

    It's been a while since I reviewed/paid attention to the retirement village listings - felt all the positivity has been well priced in - and had to laugh when I saw this potential IPO. Fantastic idea perfect time to sell a piece of your pie, not only are people paying good money for new equities but everyone loves this growth industry. Why not piggy back of Rymans & Co's good work?

    Will have a gaze over the prospectus. but don't expect it to be cheap, will be interesting to see who steps up to be CEO.

    Cheers

    note this is the pre ipo prospectus - ie to existing village owners to approve the consolidation. Once approved the ipo prospectus will be launched I assume.

    I haven't read but should be some good market info in there.

    Many thanks Grinch for the doc.

    An uncannily similar sized operation to SUM, very similar gross and net margins, similar FV adjustments on a percentage basis also. It will be interesting to compare relative valuations closer to the time.

    Haven’t yet assessed comparative forward growth rates. As an opportunity it may well come down to just that and their ambitions to build flat out, I've been disappointed by SUM not increasing their growth rate further, there ambitions have waned a little IMO.

    Both are dividend paying, wouldn't buy either into a growth portfolio now, perhaps as income stock though.

    It’s an interesting time to IPO though, six months ago might have been a better sweet spot for them and the sector.

    I expect the whole sector to lose more altitude from previous lofty level's as the fundamental laws of supply and demand play themselves out. Looking for another circa 20% altitude loss for RYM and then buy the market leader

    Interesting chart on page 9. SUM has quite a different asset distribution than the rest with a lot higher percentage of units.

    As far as Hercules goes, their villages are currently run by various managers/owners. Hercules would have to quickly stamp managing practices on each to ensure a good standard of care, etc. I see it as a bit risky.

    Hey W69,

    Unfortunately haven't been following this industry for a while so a bit behind on it all. Did squiz through the investor prospectus and do a little follow up on Ambrose, Bill Mcdonald and co etc which peaked my interest a little bit.

    Thanks MACs for your summary. Does anyone know more about Grant Adamson, Rodgers and Co ltd, Bill Mcdonald etc other than what a google search throws up?
    - McDonalds Linkedin pitch seems to put him as well qualified for the position.
    - Couldnt find much on Grant Adamson but what I did was pretty positive.
    - Rodgers and Co seem like a good outfit and nice to know Ambrose has very intimate knowledge of the NZ industry.

    Will have to wait and see what sort of price there thinking of

    I'm looking to strike as well if there is a market tumble.

    Merging 19 privately owned retirement villages into a single publicly owned company should prove challenging.19 different computer systems,19 different resident's contracts,19 different payrolls,19 different sets of standards,and 19 different sets of owners.Very challenging!!!
    I think it shows that stand alone retirement villages can not compete with the likes of MET,RYM,and SUM.Compliance and other costs are now too high for them.
    Yes more choice for the investor, having more listed retirement sector companies to chose from,but the fact remains the demand is,and will continue to be greater than supply.
    I think the Ben Hurst referred to in the article is a member of The Hurst Pratley Group, who own a number of very good villages.
