2022 Observations

  • First 6 months of 2022 saw war in Ukraine continue to negatively impact Global economic growth
  • Flow of Russian energy continued to decline causing EU shortages, and a massive increase in European gas prices
  • Global borrowing in 2021 grew to $303 trillion, and keeps growing
  • Companies around the World issued $4.4 trillion of bonds in 2020, and continued through 2021
  • In 2020 Global Government indebtedness was at its highest level since Post-World War I 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Due to Central Bank Intervention, which has kept interest rates low, cost of debt since 2005 when debt/US GDP was 85% vs 140% today, means that interest cost has declined from 2% of GDP to 1.5% of GDP today
  • In an adverse scenario where U.S. borrowing costs rise 2 percentage points above current market expectations, the price tag to USA’s debt would jump from 2% of GDP in 2020 to nearly 6% of GDP in 2030. In Italy, costs could hit 5.5% of GDP—higher than during the European sovereign debt crisis
  • 2022 also saw the worst start to a year for stocks in more than half a century
  • At the halfway point of the year, the tech-heavy NASDAQ had fallen by 30%, whilst the S&P was down by over 20%. Since the 16 June 2022, when the NASDAQ bottomed, it has risen ~18.8%, whilst the S&P has risen ~12.9%...which we believe is unsustainable and a bear market rally that will reverse again
  • The next crisis will not be like its predecessors. In the 1970s, we had stagflation but no massive debt crises because debt levels were low. After 2008, we had a debt crisis followed by low inflation or deflation because the credit crunch had generated a negative demand shock. Today, we face supply shocks in a context of much higher debt levels, implying that, in our opinion, we are heading for a combination of 1970s-style stagflation and 2008-style debt crises – that is, a stagflationary debt crisis.

Chairman’s Statement

 

Trading update

The Company's hedging strategy has served THAL shareholders well during the first half of the year and whilst our long-quoted-holdings suffered, in some cases substantial declines, these were largely offset by gains in our hedge positions.   

We covered most hedge positions shortly before the mid-June market bottom and subsequent rally, but have since repositioned, and increased our hedge exposure, after what we perceive to have been a ‘dead cat’ bounce. 

Market Action

Shareholders who read my Statement in the Company’s recently released 2021 Annual Report will know that I had for some time anticipated a major market correction, which was, in my opinion, long overdue. 

Global Technology stocks took the full brunt of the 2022 correction on the chin, which has seen Cathie Woods’ ARK Innovation ETF give back virtually all its ~383% gain, and which is now down ~74% since peaking in December 2021. Many of ARK’s investments had no earnings (with no prospect of sustainable earnings) or were trading on triple digit p/e multiples. Many of the major stock market indices have performed badly but not as badly as the investment vehicles with substantial exposure to “Story Stocks”. At the time of writing, the Dow Jones Index is down Year to Date (“YTD”) 15.29%, the S&P 500 is down 13% and the NASDAQ Index is down 19%. whilst European Indices are down YTD between ~7% and ~22%.

Macro Outlook

Your Board is of the opinion that the Market’s recent rally is unsustainable, and take the view that there is another leg down in US and EU (incl. UK) stock prices, which will be driven by earnings’ misses and subsequent reduction in overly optimistic earnings estimates for 2022, 2023 and 2024. 

Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg are still estimating that S&P 500 earnings will increase from current level of

199.67 to 235.78, an increase of 18.08%, in 2022, by +5.22% in 2023, and by +9.02% in 2024. Given the fact that inflation is currently running at record levels, and our view that Central Bankers could well tighten too much, just as Western economies grind to a standstill, we believe that analysts will rapidly start to reduce their 2022 Q3 and Q4, as well as 2023 and 2024 earnings estimates when they get back from their summer holidays.

Conclusion

We anticipate a further correction to Western Stock Markets, and remain cautious on the macro-economic outlook, which we believe could deteriorate significantly this Winter.

Financial Review

 

Continuing Operations

Total revenue from operations for the period to 30 June 2022 was £0.1m (1H21: £0.1m).

Net financial income from investment operations was £0.56m (1H21: £0.21m),

Cost of Sales was a credit of nil (1H21 : £0.18m) comprising development costs (net of capitalised costs) at ARL, resulting in a Gross Profit of £0.68m (1H21: gross profit £0.51m).

Administration expenses were £0.33m (1H21: £1.25m).  Depreciation costs were £0.15m (1H21: £0.06m).

Operating Profit was therefore £0.35m (1H21 Loss: (£0.75)m).

Profit before tax was £0.2m (1H21 loss: (£0.8m)).

Net assets at 30 June 2022 amounted to £11.9m (1H21: £10.5m). The increase in net assets primarily due to the sale of id4 to Anemoi International Ltd in 2021.

Net cash (being cash balances less borrowings) was £0.8m as at 30 June 2022 (1H21: £1.4m).

Net cash inflow from operating activities amounted to £0.18m compared to an outflow of £1.85m in 1H21.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to £0.26m, which related to the purchase of portfolio securities and R&D in ARL, compared to 1H21 of £0.47m.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to £3.89m (1H21: inflow £1.29m). This relates to the settlement of the short position on USD, which resulted in a gain of £0.3m.
