Enterprise Inns sees improving sales as founder Ted Tuppen to step down
Pubs group to continue disposal programme to reduce heavy debts
Tue 19 Nov 2013 06.03 EST
They say you should go out on a high note, and Ted Tuppen, founder and chief executive of Enterprise Inns might manage it.
Tuppen, who founded Enterprise in 1991, has just announced he plans to step down as chief executive next February and leave the group in May. He will be succeeded by chief operating officer Simon Townsend, who has been with Enterprise since 1999.
Tuppen told Reuters that with better growth trends and falling debt, the business was well placed to improve under the new leadership.
Enterprise had built up huge debts to grow its business through acquisition but is now selling off some of its 5,500 pubs to cut its borrowings.
Its full year like for like sales fell by 2.9%, hit by cold weather in the first half and the poor consumer environment.
But fourth quarter sales provided a positive sign, edging up 0.6%, while growth had continued in the first seven weeks of the new financial year.
Overall profits fell 11.7% to £121m, in line with expectations, while debt fell by £216m to £2.5bn. Enterprise shares have jumped 9.5p to 147.5p.
Douglas Jack at Numis said:
After two years in which the shares have risen 390% and earnings have fallen 20%, we now expect share price progression to be gradual, reflecting a further re-rating if positive like for like net income can be sustained.
In a hold note Simon French at Panmure Gordon said:
Trading into 2014 has remained positive following on from the strong end to 2013. This may be further aided by the company reinvesting its planned £60m of disposal proceeds from around 200 underperforming pubs to drive growth.
Post today's positive update we retain our 2014 forecasts. We reiterate our hold recommendation and 123p target price given Enterprise is one of the highest rated pub companies and whilst trading has remained positive, the recovery is said to be fragile.
Moving from booze to gambling, Paddy Power has dropped 8% to €57.5 after the bookmaker said full year operating profits would be around €11m lower than it expected three months ago. It blamed results going against it since July, including the Australian Spring Horse Racing Carnival and Champions League football.
Ladbrokes, which last week insisted it was on track to meet forecasts, has been hit by the news, falling 4.2p to 174p.
Elsewhere Thomas Cook has climbed 5.9p to 146.4p following news it had sold the majority of its stake in the Airline Group - the majority owner of the UK's National Air Traffic Services - to the Universities Superannuation Scheme for £38m in cash. Tui Travel, up 0.3p at 387.5p, did the same, as did Deutsche Lufthansa and Virgin Atlantic. On Thomas Cook, analyst Martin Brown at Shore Capital said:
This announcement comes hot on the heels of two separate announcements about other non-core businesses on Monday. Thomas Cook announced it has outsourced its non-core escorted tours business, Thomas Cook Tours to Collette Travel Service for a min period of 5 years. In addition they announced the sale of its UK Corporate Foreign Exchange business, Thomas Cook CFX Ltd to Moneycorp for £4.5m. Both disposals and the outsourcing agreement allow Thomas Cook to focus more time and effort on their core business.
Three announcements in two days and further demonstration of management delivering on their strategy. Thomas Cook have targeted £100m-£150m of gross proceeds from disposals by 2015, with the proceeds used to pay down debt. So disposing of non-core assets, is in fact core to the overall strategy. [We have] highlighted Thomas Cook's recent underperformance versus Tui and the fact that we expect further positives news on cost savings at the full year results next week. Within today's announcement there is perhaps a hint of what is to come, "enables us to intensify our business focus on the further delivery of our profitable growth strategy, which we look forward to sharing in more detail in our results announcement on 28 November." So more cost savings to be announced then! Buy
