Centro has 845 milliom shares on issue.(#1)
Centro is currently paying interest on borrowed
monies
$3.9 billion dollars needs to be refinanced
before Feb 15 (#2)
An additional $3.4 billion dollars needs to be
refinanced by the end of this year. (#2)
Projected profit this year 40c/share = $338m
(includes provision of 2.7c/share = $22.8m for
extra interest payments) (#2)
(Centro has forecast a $40m bill for sorting out the
company but this is more than offset by the withholding
of dividend payments for this year)
Suppose
a) Someone will lend money at 1% more than Centro
is currently borrowing at:
then extra interest bill is 1% of $7.3b = $73m-$22.8m
=$50.2m
b) as for a) but at 2% higher. Extra interest is then
$146m-$22.8m = $123.2m
c) as for a) but at 3% higher. Extra interest is then
$219m-$22.8m = $196.2m
Projected 2008 profits would then become
a) (1% extra) $338m-$50.2m= $287.8m (34.05c/share)
b) (2% extra) $338m-$123.2m = $214.8m (25.42c/share)
c) (3% extra) $338m-$196.2m = $141.8m (16.78c/share)
With the shareprice currently at ~53c and with even a 3%
rise in interest rates the return (16.78c/53c*100
= 31.66%)looks like really excellent value. If my
analysis is correct then I ask myself why aren't the
shares being snapped up by some big cashed up insto who
would also be prepared to provide the finance and also
make a healthy profit in providing this finance
What Am I missing or what have I got wrong???
