Georgia Capital (GCAP): Successful bond refinancing improves risk profile

Georgia Capital delivered positive newsflow during August, including the successful pricing of its new sustainability-linked bond (with proceeds used to redeem the 2024 Eurobond), as well as its Q223 results release, with a robust 8.2% NAV total return in GEL terms posted during the quarter. We believe that the successful bond refinancing, coupled with continued deleveraging at holding level (net capital commitment ratio of 17.4% at end-June 2023) further reduces GCAP’s risk profile. Despite the above, GCAP’s shares are still trading at a relatively wide c 58% discount to its ‘live’ NAV estimate.

 

We believe that GCAP’s value proposition is underpinned by the following drivers: 1) 26% of its end-June 2023 NAV is attributable to the listed Bank of Georgia, a highly profitable bank (H123 ROE at 31.3%) and one of the local leaders, now trading at a moderate 1.0x book; 2) 92% of its portfolio is valued externally, with most of its private holdings valued by a third-party specialist; and 3) GCAP receives a steady income stream from dividends and buybacks from its holdings, with management expecting GEL150–160m of regular distributions in 2023 (GEL205–215m including one-off distributions), implying a 4.5–4.8% yield on its end-June 2023 portfolio value (6.1–6.4% including one-off distributions).
