Look at it this way Bubble.
The bad news is needed like foul tasting medicine. It will be horrible but it is necessary, and hopefully Steinhoff gets well after.
We simply HAVE to go through this. There is no other way. Besides, if the bad news did not exist, you would never have had this opportunity.
To all the guys who e-mailed me privately, thank you for your thoughts and comments. I hope that the share responds positively after Wednesday and Thursday.

Really looking forward to the Steinhoff 2017 financials. I am like a kid on the day before Christmas
There are a number of items that needs attention. Some of them are the acquisitions made during 2016, but which impact the 2017 financials.
So some acquisitions will only contribute partially to 2017 earnings, but will contribute for the entire 2018 period (when that is released).
For 2018, many investments were disposed as SNH looked to raise funds to manage their liquidity. This will impact the 2018 financials which we would need to consider. Most of these were reflected in the 1H18 financials, but some of the events took place after 31 Mar 2018, and has not yet been accounted for.
Then we have the previously released 1H17 released 7 June 2017 vs the restated 1H17 released 29 June 2018 to contend with. Just in this period, the equity was amended by E10943 from E16635 to E5632. Embedded in this restatement was an impairment of E1.5b for MF. We now learned over the past weeks that incredibly, Steinhoff has revised this upwards by apparently another E1.8b most of which is attributed to MF. This is startling as Steinhoff only paid $3.8b for MF.
The question therefore is: How is it possible that Steinhoff paid $3.8b for this business in 2016 and yet impairs almost the entire business in a year. I think that we are perhaps not fully understanding this as we do not have sight of the deeper discussions. I have been discussing this with investors across the world (including DTD from this platform). There is still no clarity. The impairment of Goodwill cannot be almost equal to the entire price paid. This would mean that MF had no other assets… no tangible assets.
I do not expect anything other than a HUGE loss reported for 2017. It may be a strategy that Steinhoff are using to bring most of the impairments onto the 2017 FY financials. By cleaning up the Balance Sheet in 2017, by comparison, the 2018 should be significantly more positive.
But if we get a Sustainable Earnings, boy will this be a bonus. This will tell us IF Steinhoff is just undergoing a once off / very short term earnings crisis, and that once this is over, the business may recover. The alternative is the really frightening picture that You-Know-Who and Tom is repeatedly warning about. This latter position is what caused WorldCom to go under. Their earnings simply could not sustain the cost of debt after they issued $11.9b of bonds at a 8.3% coupon rate. This was beyond the capacity of their sustainable earnings by a shortfall of $4.1b to service. WorldCom went bust.
We need to understand what the numbers are - even if the higher interest rate only materialised in 2018.
It would not surprise me if the share price were to tank materially this evening and tomorrow in Frankfurt.
I hope that I am correct that Steinhoff are using the FY2017 results to clean the Balance Sheet and that the impairments are recognised on the Income Statement accordingly. Even if this reduces the NAV to a pittance, it is by far the better option as the Income Statement for 2018 may be significantly better by comparison.
Also looking forward to some robust discussions. DTD get your hard hat on!
Good luck.
Best Regards

Thanks Andi222, I suppose it is an odd but relatively accurate way to measure the veracity of some wild claims when it comes to SNH. It is probably not real news or it is outdated.
My understanding is that the CVA will not be put to the Courts without it being put again to the creditors for approval of the further amendments and modifications. This has not yet taken place. Steinhoff would need to communicate the success/failure of the CVA consent request.
Therefore to state that it has been dismissed is naughty.

Share would have crashed hard if it was new. I think they also referring to the SENS where they said they need to adjust some CVA details.

The application was dismissed that was part of previous sens. Not sure if this is fake news and or old news.

Hi IN,
Can you clarify what you are saying? What previous SENS are you referring to?
Why would Cabinet Maker by all accounts a legitimate magazine, report report either fake news or an old matter today?
