Invicta Holdings | Brace for impact

Invicta released a disappointing set of H1' 19 results. dHEPS and DPS declined by 99% h/h and 38% h/h respectively. c.82% of the dHEPS decline is due to an additional R200m tax charge from the BEE tax fine. IVT has settled with SARS for R750m, in line with our estimate of R740m. The settlement amount exceeds provision raised as at March 2018 by R200m. As IVT prepares for a hard earnings landing, it will have to monitor cash flows as it pays the fine and interest over the next four years, while working to improve cash flow generation against the backdrop of weak demand.

Invicta Holdings | SARS Overhang

Invicta released a disappointing set of FY' 18 results where dHEPS and DPS declined by 80% yoy and 29% yoy respectively. While this was largely due to a R400m increase in the tax provision, it also highlights a weak operating result and a deterioration in the quality of the operating portfolio. In particular, Kian Ann, its acquisition in Singapore, has failed to grow earnings beyond pre-acquisition levels despite the very recent profit growth. Furthermore, the domestic portfolio has become increasingly concentrated following the disposal of Bearings Supply Group (its tiling business) with s...

Tiger Brands | ESG | Pressed to execute

TBS receives a corporate governance score of 3.37 out of 5 (FY '18: 3.42) and is rated as â€˜good'. TBS receives an ESG risk score of 2.6 (FY '18: 2.6) which we consider moderate. As in FY '18, there were various changes to the Board which raises corporate governance concerns surrounding succession planning and the execution of strategies. Post year-end, L Mac Dougall retired as CEO of the Group. N Doyle has become the new CEO of the Group as of 1 Feb '20. We note the corporate governance concerns around the appointment of N Doyle given that he left the Group at an important juncture in FY...

SA Investment Strategy | Review of January 2020 for SA investors: Coronavirus weighs on the ZAR

From an SA asset-allocation perspective, SA Bonds (ALBI +1.2%) outperformed cash (STEFI +0.6%) and equities (Capped SWIX -2.6%) in Jan â€˜20. The ZAR was the worst performing EM currency in Jan â€˜20, depreciating by 6.8% against the USD, as EM risk appetite declined, with the Coronavirus spreading further than the Sars virus, which began in 2002, likely to hit global growth. Our discussions with various corporates in China suggest that the Coronavirus will peak over the coming weeks and could take until Mar '20 to resolve. In USDs, MSCI SA (-8.8%) underperformed MSCI EM (-4.7%) in 2020, as ...

SA Banks | Low credit risk in commercial property | Time to buy SA banks

Challenging SA economic conditions bring SA REITs credit health and banks' lending to the sector into the spotlight. Our analysis in this report provides greater detail on SA banks' exposure to commercial property and listed REITs. Our stress tests highlight that SA banks' lending to listed REITs (exposed to SA or offshore operations) has been conservative to date. REITs' equity capital and diversified portfolios support the property companies' credit health. While SA banks' near-term earnings growth prospects are geared to SA economic conditions, we highlight that valuations are undemandin...
