Portobello aims to build a national Italian retail presence via a rapid rollout of own-stores and franchises. It uses a combination of barter (own and third-party media) and cash purchases to source branded products from its suppliers.

Portobello’s aspiration is to grow its retail footprint across Italy. If management can execute this strategy, it would produce premium revenue and profit growth in the long term versus its peers. Management is accelerating its store expansion plans from FY22, following the disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

Financials

Portobello’s FY23 results demonstrate the primary effects of the out-of-court settlement with respect to VAT and direct taxes (a higher year-end net debt position) and the secondary effects, such as disruption to its trading activities due to management’s focus on cash generation and the company’s inability to trade as previously expected. Following the period end, two capital raises totalling €12.6m, including €3.8m by three of the executive management team, from a maximum mandated amount of €20m, have improved the company’s financial position. The requirement to improve the balance sheet further is likely to necessitate a focus on managing costs and cash generation in FY24. Ahead of the publication of the full financial statements and greater clarity on the company’s trading strategy for the year ahead, we withdraw our estimates.
