Reporting Season
Generally speaking, the portfolio performed well through the reporting season with most stocks posting results that were in line or ahead of expectations. The positions which were the largest positive contributors to performance for the period included Credit Corp Group Limited, Macmahon Holdings Limited, Homeloans Limited, Aurelia Metals Limited, and Mayne Pharma Group Limited. One notable exception was the half year results for ARQ group (formerly Melbourne IT). Whilst the actual half year result was close to our numbers and the full year guidance was around 5% below our expectations, the guidance for the years ahead was revised downwards, although still reflecting positive and healthy growth. The market interpreted this guidance poorly and the stock price fell around 30% during the month. The stock now has a $300M enterprise value with normalised EBITDA of around $40M putting the company on approximately 7.5 times EV/EBITDA. We believe this is a very low multiple for the earnings stream ARQ delivers.
