2CC - 2 Cheap Cars Group

[Rawz]

"The property strategy is a key growth factor for 2CC, with positive steps being taken to identify and develop new or better retail locations which benefit its scale model, particularly in Auckland."

This may explain the build up in stock.

Yes I think that’s part of it but surely cannot account for the full $3m difference. Maybe just got stuck with an overhang of hybrids after the subsidies finished? I’m not concerned, just trying to figure out true operating cashflows.

By memory last year they finished with $8m inventory so it’s quite incredible how they have pumped that up to $13m and managed to pay out a huge dividend and remain in a net cash position. Just goes to show how much cash this business generates.

Nb. They are still collecting cash from the old loan book being repaid

2 Cheap Cars continues to be well positioned to meet the ongoing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles (EV/HEVs). Despite regulatory changes and removal of the clean car discount, the number of EV/HEVs sold as a proportion of total vehicle sales increased to 56%, up 14% on the year prior. Demand – particularly for cost effective HEVs – remains stable, accounting for 54% of total vehicle sales in the last quarter of FY24.
The Company is well positioned with inventory valued at a healthy $13.9m, (up $5.5m over FY23 which was impacted by shipping constraints).
NZ Motor Finance loan book remains in run down mode, reducing from $3.9m at 31 March 2023 to $1.8m at 31 March 2024 and making a profit of $0.05m for the year.

A few things to look forward to;
a] News on new branches or upgrades of existing branches.[Auckland].I would like to see them own and develop their own sites,as per Turners.
b]Update on EV/HEVs sales %.
c]Inventory level compared to sales,ie stock turns.
d] Love to know how well the "win a free car" promotion went.

Thanks Percy, I missed that part.

I wouldn’t be in favor of them owning their sites. Especially in Auckland where land is terribly expensive. Prefer capital lite model with leased premises

Jarden and Sharesies havent updated the dividend yet. I suppose they wait for the funds to be paid so need to wait for June. Both of them show gross dividend so hopefully punters get excited by see a 12-13% dividend yield

[Rawz]

sharesies showing gross dividend yield of 14.10% based on current price.
jarden showing 13.6% based on previous close

amazing yield AND PROFITS EXPECTED TO GROW IN FY25
