2020 The Year of The Serica1 Dec 2019 11:36
So from 1/1/2020, in 30 days our share of the BKR PSA will increase by 20% so continually adding to our est c£95m CoH, profits will most likely be up again and our OpEx should also fall.
Since the BKR deal was struck only 2 years ago, SQZ has gone from being a minnow swimming with the sharks to being mid-range producer able to compete with other sharks. The next could be, as Mitch stated, looking at doubling our production.
My concern is SQZ are in effect a free cash machine with a guaranteed 100% increase of the BKR PSA by 2023 as of today. That has to be tasty to someone ..... but when we add in another deal, possibly on similar terms to BKR (40/60) split on striking the deal with improving percentages YOY, for the next 6 years, then you can easily see how we could be taken out shortly after our next deal. The BKR model has been proven .... SQZ will be a fully self-funding acquisition WITH massive FCF ....
Could this be ACW et al retirement game plan, after all the AVERAGE age of our BoD is 69 years, Mitch being the baby at 59.
Will someone take the bait ..... I think so !
2020 will be a massive year, just need the vision to see it.
