Asking the accountants is MF becomes equity accounted then the debt if has goes with it and the moneys they owe SEAG will
become assets in the SNH accounts?
Quote from page 27:
"The Management Board has considered the
shareholding and governance structures of
SUSHI and determined that the Group lost
control of SUSHI on 21 November 2018.
Subsequent to this date, Mattress Firm will
be accounted for as an equity accounted
investment in the Group’s 2019 annual
financial statements."
Hey DTD,
We have discussed this in our private chats.
Look at Page 5 of the MF Presentation that Steinhoff released on 5 Oct 2018. Look at previous postings as well. The MF debt as at end Jul 2018 was $4.4b and assets of $3.3b.
Now consider that Steinhoff suddenly does not have to consolidate the debt or assets. Steinhoff is now better off by $1b. Go further, MF suddenly owes Steinhoff loans of $3.3b which will be accounted for as assets now.
Changes the NAV, doesn't it?
The same treatment will happen for Confo in the 2019 results, and the same again for Greenlit in the 2020 results.
Plans for the IPO of Pepkor Europe are going ahead as well.
Don't stress too much about the NAV on the 2017 financials - this is two years old. Look at the EBIDTA numbers - that tells a story.
Best Regards
