Profit Share5 Mar 2021 08:59
I don’t suppose anybody has a copy of the podcast type interview that Stephen Moon did back in around 2010/11, where he talked about the profit sharing agreement with DSM?
As I recall the agreement is weighted towards DSM up to a particular volume (confidential), as they need to recover costs and make it with worth while their investment. Then as volumes rise, Provexis get a larger part of the share on a sliding scale. Also, as volumes rise the margin on FF goes from OK to very high. That is because the base manufacturing costs are high, but don’t rise much, and the materials (tomato seeds) are a by-product of other products.
So as I see it, DSM currently takes the lions share with low margin at the moment, but we expect that to switch around quite quickly as volumes rise.
Do others recall that?
It keeps me hopeful that PXS will see a large income from the By-Health orders and other brands that are part of large global businesses.
Also, thinking about the PE ratio. If you look at the health/drug/medical sector, the ratios can be crazy high, 40 to 80 being pretty normal. So PXS share price could absolutely rocket on big FF orders. We could quite easily see £5m profit and £175m market cap.
That’s my thought of the day! But as Gix likes to say, BWTFDIK
