Our opinion on the current state of TRELLIDOR(TRL)RCL is a large producer of food, sugar products, and chicken in South Africa, which is owned 80.4% by Remgro.
The company owns a number of very well-known South African brands such as 5 Star maize meal, Farmer Brown, and Yum Yum peanut butter. It competes with overseas imports of sugar, chicken, and other foods.
It was impacted by the listeriosis outbreak, which damaged the market for processed meats and caused costs estimated at about R158m. The company has been impacted by the weak economy, low consumer spending, and high unemployment.
The company, through the SA Poultry Association, is petitioning the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) for an 82% increase in the tariffs on imported chicken.
On 2nd December 2020, the company announced that Remgro had increased its stake by buying 100m shares at R8,05 each.
On 29th March 2023, the company announced that it had sold Vector Logistics for R1,25bn.
On 4th June 2024, the company announced that it would unbundle and separately list Rainbow Chicken. RCL shareholders got 1 Rainbow share for every RCL share that they held on 25th June 2024.
On 10th June 2024, the company published Rainbow's pre-listing statement, with the last day to trade being 25th June 2024.
In its results for the year to 30th June 2024, the company reported revenue up 6.8% and headline earnings per share (HEPS) from continuing operations up 31%.
The company said, "EBITDA from continuing operations increased by 36.8% to R2 300,5 million (2023: R1 681,6 million). This was mainly driven by a strong result in our Sugar business unit and the recovery of service levels in the Pet Food business within Groceries."
In a trading statement for the six months to 31st December 2024, the company estimated that HEPS would increase by between 31.2% and 38.6%.
The company said the increase was, "...largely due to, amongst other items, the current period EPS including the non-cash gain realised on accounting for the unbundling of Rainbow, and the comparative period EPS including the gain on disposal of Vector Logistics."
The share has been drifting down since Rainbow was unbundled but may now be at the start of a new upward trend.
TRL trade ideas
Our opinion on the current state of TRELLIDOR(TRL)Trellidor (TRL) is a long-established manufacturer of barrier security products, blinds, and security shutters, having been in business since 1976. The company is divided into two main divisions: the Trellidor business, which focuses on security barriers, and the Taylor business, which produces security and decorative blinds. Taylor also imports and distributes cornicing and skirting. With 70 franchise outlets in South Africa and representation in 24 countries (17 of which are in Africa), Trellidor has built a strong brand over the years.
As a company linked to the construction and home improvements industry, Trellidor is sensitive to economic conditions, but it has been well-managed and maintains a strong balance sheet. The business has benefitted from the shift toward work-from-home setups and the low-interest-rate environment, both of which have driven demand for home improvements. Additionally, Trellidor has supported its share price through share buy-backs.
In its results for the year ending 30th June 2024, Trellidor reported a 12.6% increase in revenue, and headline earnings per share (HEPS) grew to 36.1c, up significantly from 4.2c in the previous period. The company noted "declining revenue in the domestic market and elevated opening debt levels as at 30 June 2023, at higher interest rates." However, it also highlighted growth in its international revenue, which increased to R173.0 million, and a reduction in net debt from R146.7 million to R115.7 million, driven by improved profitability and better working capital management at Taylor.
Despite being a thinly traded share, with an average daily trading volume of only about R53,000, Trellidor has shown signs of breaking to new higher levels, potentially attracting more institutional interest. Given the continued demand for security products in South Africa, the company's focus on security solutions positions it well for long-term growth, even though its trading volume makes it a riskier investment option.
Our opinion on the current state of TRELLIDOR(TRL)Trellidor (TRL) has been a manufacturer of barrier security products, blinds, and security shutters since 1976. The company operates through two main divisions: the Trellidor business, which focuses on security barriers, and the Taylor business, which produces security and decorative blinds. In addition, Taylor imports and distributes cornicing and skirting. Trellidor has 70 franchise outlets across South Africa and a strong, well-recognized brand. It also has a presence in 24 countries, 17 of which are in Africa.
As a company closely tied to the construction and home improvement industry, Trellidor’s performance is affected by the broader economic environment. However, it is well-managed, with a strong balance sheet. It stands to benefit from any improvement in the economy and has already gained from the work-from-home trend and low interest rates. The company has been conducting share buybacks, which has helped support its share price.
In its results for the six months ending 31st December 2023, Trellidor reported a 6.9% increase in revenue but a 16.1% decrease in headline earnings per share (HEPS). The decline was attributed to "declining revenue in the domestic market; and increased opening debt levels as at 30 June 2023, at higher interest rates."
In a trading statement for the year ending 30th June 2024, the company estimated that HEPS would be between 35.68c and 36.52c, compared to 4.2c in the previous year. This significant improvement is largely due to strong performance from the UK division, which offset weak demand in South Africa.
While Trellidor is a relatively thinly traded share, with around R52,000 worth of shares changing hands daily, its recent upward movement suggests it may be attracting some institutional interest. Security remains a priority for South Africans, which gives the company a steady demand base. However, the low trading volume makes it a riskier investment.
