1) I've published my first write up on Substack, where I dive into IWG ( $IWG $IWG.L). Laying out why even without re-rating, this should morph into a 40%+ TSR compounder....and why i see 200% (base case) to 500% (bull case) upside over 3-4 years Link:

1) high margin, capital light businesses with durable growth & moats are extremely attractive...hence are rarely cheap. I get really excited when I see absolute value among this cohort of companies.

1) $VOXR thesis: I love royalty businesses....in fact most of my money is privately invested in (music) royalties and I have gone as far as re-mortgaging my home to buy more of these assets....so unsurprisingly I have been intrigued to dig into other royalty businesses.

Most of my holdings are high quality cash generative businesses with embedded growth that trade on 6-12x FCF in 2025, should deliver CAGR in FCF/s of 30-40% so by 2027 => 3-6x FCF/s, and therefore would need to 3-5x to trade on a multiple reflective of its business quality.

Agree with Yaron's take on $IWG $IWG.L ...the big picture, is this is a growing cap light business. In 2025, its trading on 7-8x FCF, will be in buyback mode and in the absense of re-rating, translate to a 40% FCF/share CAGR.

$CREX - very positive call with CFO. Key takeaway: +ve: saas growth underpinned by removal of legacy discounts at renewal ($5-6 => $8-9) and strong volume growth. High switching costs mean customers are v sticky. Refinancing provides optionality re v accretive M&A.

@pembridge_cap FX headwind (gbp strength)…and within owned and leased 5% of existing space was closed in 2023 = immediate rev hit (but gross profit improvement given this were unprofitable) vs newly opened space (in managed + franchised and owned +lease) that takes time to mature

6) IF you are right re the fundamentals, the starting multiple is low AND management are sensible capital allocators....the growing FCF, can be fully recycled into buybacks or into investments with even better returns, driving huge FCF/share growth

This is very material for the IWG thesis I listened to the video....he quoted: 867 signings in 2023....and based on January + February expects to double that number in 2024 (c.1700!).....driven by repeat customers.

@LogicalThesis $VAL warrants ($132 strike, 2028 expiry)….if stays brent $70+…floaters should sell out in 12-18m, pricing needs to double to incentivise new orders (there are no new orders + lead time is c4 years) => look through FCF over $3bn (vs $5bn mc today) => stock 3-4x, warrants c10x.

7) Most of the companies i own fit into the criteria above....i.e. trade sub 10x levered FCF in 2025....strong organic FCF growth + buybacks (or accretive bolt ons) => FCF/share doubles by 2027 (5x FCF)....for businesses I think will (at some point) trade on 15-20x FCF.

3) what struck me is that most mining royalty companies are either expensive (e.g. trade at big premium to NPV and 20x+ FCF) and/or have mixed track records re historical returns on investment....when either apply it is a hard pass for me.

@CCM_Brett agreed…unfortunately they are wedded to progressive dividends (due to uk income fund shareholders), and they should also be selling their entire itc stake on 25x (ideally with a parallel long term distribution agreement) & buying back as much stock as possible at 7x @oscar100_x

4) however I found 2 exceptions - one was $VOXR....trading at material discount to (conservative) NPV, c.5x FCF in 2027, despite consistently deploying capital very accretively for shareholders since IPO. $58m invested => $12m royalties in 2023, growing to c.$25-30m in 2027.

@oscar100_x im not involved, but to get to a no-growth valuation you should also apply a mature ebitda to the newly opened clubs …and then deduct maintenance capex….looks a lot cheaper when you do that as theres a lot of recently open clubs that havent matured yet.

@marketplunger1 UK is a v fertile ground for finding quality companies on trough / cheap multiples. $IWG + $VTY are my big bets - but there are many other contenders: Rightmove / Unilever / Reckitt / Smith & Nephew / CCH / Diageo / Prudential / Rentokil.
