TV programme producer and post production facilities provider Boomerang Plus continues to grow its revenues and profit and it has a strong balance sheet.
Wales-based Boomerang Plus is diversifying its interests so that it is not so dependent on S4C. Revenues from S4C and BBC Wales still accounted for around two-thirds of the total but this should fall to 55% this year as recent acquisition Oxford Scientific Films makes a contribution and the advertiser funded programming business grows organically.
Revenues grew from £21.4m to £26.9m in the year to May 2011, while pre-tax profit jumped from £535,000 to £1.02m. that profit is struck after £120,000 of restructuring costs which will save £100,000 a year. Net cash was £1.37m at the end of June 2011. There are also £1m of unused bank facilities.
Since the end of the financial year Boomerang Plus has added Harlequin to its talent agency business.
House broker finnCap forecasts a profit of £1.1m for this year.
At 49.5p a share, Boomerang Plus is valued at £4.41m. The shares are trading on around six times prospective 2011-12 earnings.
Boomerang Plus is keen to make more acquisitions, particularly in the factual and advertiser funded programming sectors. It may also seek to widen the scope of its post-production business Gorilla to include special effects and graphics.
Management says that acquisition valuations are more realistic than three or four years ago.
