AGM statement confirms growth momentum
Today’s Annual General Meeting trading update from The Artisanal Spirits Company (ASC) confirms that the positive underlying sales momentum enjoyed in FY2022 has continued into the current year. The group remains confident of delivering both sales growth and EBITDA in line with expectations. Moreover, sales growth is expected to be at least double digit % in the second quarter after a relatively flat Q1.We base our 150p fair value/share, which implies a 4.9x FY2023 EV/sales ratio, on a relative valuation when compared with leading listed distilled spirits companies and luxury goods providers. ASC is simultaneously exposed to both these categories given its emphasis on ultra-premium-and-above Scotch malt whiskies.
Furthermore, the £493m updated notional retail value of the company’s maturing whisky stocks is currently over 6 times today’s market capitalisation.
