Telegraph- Questor "The Questor Column:Avoid HSS until it is profitable: The first set of results from tool hire firm HSS since coming to the stock market holds few reasons to buy the shares. The company reported a loss before tax of £8.5 million for the 12 months to the end of December. It generated operating profits of £23.6 million from customers renting tools and equipment but that was outweighed by interest repayments on its debt pile, which totalled £31 million in the same period. The group came to the market on February 9, when it issued about 44 million shares, or 35% of the total share capital, at 210p per share, valuing the group at £325 million. The company raised a total of £103 million before expenses, but the majority of the cash raised went to repay loans from its previous existence as a private equity-owned company. Two years is a long time for investors to wait for a marked improvement in financial performance. During that time equity investors are exposed, as the company is forecast to have net debts of £158 million at the end of 2015, against net assets of £181 million. Cash generation at HSS is also fairly tight, once buying new tools and interest repayments are taken into account. The company is expecting to pay a maiden dividend of 3p this year, but that will be paid out of debts the first time round and provide a prospective yield of 1.4%. The shares, trading on 18 times forecast earnings, are looking expensive given the risks and are best avoided until we get a better idea of profits. HSS Hire unchanged at 209p Questor Says “Avoid”. "

Results Very positive commentary but not really reflected in the numbers - revenue growth of circa £70m generating only £2m of incremental operating profit! Winning business but at poor margins
