Thorn Group Ltd
TGA Details
Solid performance by business finance: Thorn Group Ltd (ASX: TGA) stock has fallen 27.07% in the six months (as of August 03, 2016) as the group’s Radio Rentals division was affected in FY16. However, overall revenue was up 3.5% and underlying profit after tax is steady at $30.3 million. Rising regulatory requirements led to higher costs from more extensive credit qualification assessments. National Credit Management Ltd. (NCML) revenue fell 21.7% to $14.7 million on the back of changing business practices with some long standing clients. Overall, TGA’s significant one-off items totaled $10.3 million after tax in 2016 due to the closure of the TFS Consumer Loan business, write off of the NCML goodwill and the provisioning for historic customer credit refunds in Consumer Leasing. The business finance doubled in revenue (from $15m to $30.5m) and earnings (to $14m).
The heavy correction in the stock placed them at cheap valuations with the stock trading at a reasonable P/E. The stock could recover in the coming months and we give a “Speculative Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $1.30
