CREDIT RISK RATINGS |
|
|
|
Credit risk analysis is not an exact science and each credit agency has its own models and score cards. The Credit Analysts Report presents our own risk assessment and a second opinion. Combined with clients' own analysis and further enquiry this provides extra cover for key credit assessments. |
|
|
|
FIRST REPORT CREDIT RISK RATING |
|
|
In this section we present the risk assessment of the First Report credit risk model developed over 20 years of corporate risk assessment.
First Report Analysis:
The overall credit worthiness presented here is based on the financial results of the company up to 31 July 2011.
The latest turnover is £364.2m compared to the previous periods of £400.0m and £345.2m. The total change in sales over three years is 5.5%. The average trend over three years is 3.5%. The change in turnover for the latest period was -9.0% which indicates that the pace of growth has slowed.
EBITDA measures earnings before interest and taxation, and depreciation and amortization. The latest accounts show pre-tax losses of -£10.7m and £3.0m interest paid. EBITDA for the most recent period was £670,000 as against £23.7m and £38.6m for prior years. The company has an average £21.0m EBITDA over three years, so the latest EBITDA is lower. Income drawn by directors during the latest period was £2.7m.
Retained profits after all costs and dividends provides a further key indicator of cash generating potential. Recent retained profits have not been consistent. For the most recent period no profits were retained. For the previous period £7.4m retained profits are shown. When the latest loss and the previous retained profit are taken together, the average level of retained profits is -£3.8m.
The subject's current ratio stands at 0.7 in a sector where around 1.1 is the average. The liquidity of the company is therefore weaker than average. A more stringent test of liquidity is the acid test and the company manages only 0.3 against a typical industry score of 1.0. Known liabilities due within one year exceed all current assets available to service short term obligations. The resulting deficit in working capital is larger than we would like to see when assessing credit risk. The interest cover position is weak, with insufficient profits to comfortably cover existing interest payments. Any further decline in profitability or increased interest rates could strain the ability to service debt interest. There are secured creditors with mortages or charges over certain assets of the business and this may be significant if the secured debts are interest bearing.
As at the latest accounts the company has net assets of £23.0m. Once intangible assets are subtracted from net assets the company's net worth is £3.9m.
This appraisal is based on the financial performance and the overall balance sheet status. However the balance sheet is still quite large. We note that two county court judgments have been recorded within the last 12 months. The company has a parent company and as such the future of the subject may be dependant upon the financial status of the parent company or group. It is therefore advisable to get a report on the parent and if applicable any ultimate parent company before making any credit decisions. On the basis of this analysis we would suggest checking the credit worthiness of the parent company with a view to seeking guarantees from the parent company before extending credit.
