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 spare parts and capital equipment sales cyclically exposed to the agricultural, mining and construction sectors.
