Delivering robust profitable growth
19% revenue growth, a 12% increase in membership numbers and a £1.0m favourable swing in adjusted EBITDA were key features of today’s FY2022 results statement. With the Masterton Bond facility fully operational and group trading having started well in the current year, ASC appears well placed to deliver medium term sustainable profitable growth. As a membership organization which boasts substantial invested facilities and valuable whisky stocks, we reiterate our 150p fair value for the shares.This implies a 4.9x FY2023 EV/sales ratio, largely 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 (mentioned above) is currently over 7 times today’s market capitalisation.
