OTHER MAIN MARKET AND AIM - LOSERS

Amigo Holdings, down 22%. The guarantor loans provider launched a strategic review and formal sale process in a bid to "maximise value for its shareholders". This may result in a sale of the company. Amigo said controlling shareholder Richmond Group is a "willing seller" of its 60% stake. The review will be looking into the lender's "strategy, ownership and operating model". Amigo said it is considering the potential sale of the company as a whole, the sale of parts of the group, the sale of the UK business, and a potential de-listing of the company's shares. The announcement follows a board clear-out in early December. James Benamor, founder and previous chief executive of Amigo, returned to the company and was appointed a non-independent non-executive director with immediate effect. Benamor holds his stake in Amigo via Richmond. "Amigo has been under pressure from the regulator to improve the way it conducted business. The Financial Conduct Authority has been worried that many guarantors do not fully understand the risks they are taking on, as well as too many guarantors ending up paying part of the loan, as well as interest rates potentially being too high," said Mould.

Safestyle UK, down 15%. The PVC windows and doors maker said it expects to report a loss for 2019, albeit a narrowed one, with costs from its ongoing transformation programme likely to hurt 2020 profitability as well. Safestyle is predicting an underlying pretax loss of up to GBP1.5 million, narrowed from GBP8.7 million in 2018. This underlying figure excludes items such as non-recurring costs and share based payment. The narrowing of this loss has been mostly driven by revenue, which for 2019 is forecast at around GBP126 million, an 8.2% rise from GBP116.4 million. This would put Safestyle's second-half revenue around 11% ahead of the year before. Safestyle said the reason it is still expecting to post a loss is that it incurred "additional lead generation costs" in the fourth quarter. In 2020, Safestyle will invest around GBP3.0 million in these initiatives, which is "expected to have a negative impact on short-term profitability" but is ultimately planned to "deliver material benefit" starting in 2021.
