Turnaround bei der HMV Group plc - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

Neben der Vermeldung der nicht so tollen aktuellen Zahlen gab es heute in der Pressemitteilung folgenden Ausblick für 2012/13:

Outlook & Strategic Review

· Looking forward into 2012/13, reflecting the disruption to GAME plc and the changed nature of our relationship with key music and film suppliers, the company is confident that it will return to profitability. At this stage we expect PBT to be at least £10m for 2012/13 (analyst consensus for 2012/13 is a PBT loss of around (£5m)).

· The strategic review of the Live business is ongoing and further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

Solten die Prognosen so eintreffen, beträgt das Vorsteuerergebnis im laufenden Geschäftsjahr mindestens 10 Millionen Pfund vor Steuern, die aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung liegt bei nur 15 Millionen Pfund.

Wer etwas mutig ist kann hier mit 4p pro Aktie sehr günstig noch einsteigen.

Sony Music an HMV Live interessiert

Sony Music ist eines von mehreren Unternehmen, die an HMV Live, dem Live-Arm der britischen Handelskette, interessiert sind. Der Verkaufspreis für die 13 Spielstätten und fünf Festivals der HMV Group liegt bei etwa 80 Millionen Euro, meldet "Music Week". HMV entwickelte sich in Großbritannien zum zweitgrößten Live-Musik- und Ticketing-Unternehmen, als es im Januar 2009 ein Joint-Venture mit der MAMA Group einging. Nun will HMV MAMA allerdings wieder verkaufen, um Schulden in Höhe von mehr 220 Millionen Euro zu tilgen. Bislang gilt AEG als Hauptinteressent für HMVs MAMA Group .

Disposal of the Hammersmith Apollo and agreement of Amended Bank Facility



HMV Group plc announces that it has conditionally agreed to sell Hammersmith Apollo Limited ("HAL"), the company which owns and operates the Hammersmith Apollo, to STAGE C Limited for a total cash consideration of £32 million. STAGE C Limited is jointly owned by Ansco Music Club Limited, a company within the Anschutz Entertainment Group ("AEG"), and getgo Consulting GmbH, a company within CTS EVENTIM AG ("CTS EVENTIM").

The disposal is conditional upon shareholder approval, banking approvals and the purchaser securing regulatory approvals. Subject to completion of the disposal and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, the Group has amended its existing £220m Bank Facility with its existing lenders and extended it to 30 September 2014. Details of the disposal, the amended Bank Facility and notice of the general meeting to approve the disposal will be set out in the circular to shareholders which will be issued in due course.

The Directors believe the disposal of HAL will allow management to focus more closely on HMV's strategy for its core business, developing HMV's retail offering with a view to maximising value for all stakeholders. The disposal and the amended Bank Facility together represent an important step towards strengthening HMV's capital structure. The proceeds from the disposal will be used to reduce the Group's outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes.

Completion of the disposal is expected to occur no later than the end of August 2012.

The strategic review of the remaining Live business is ongoing and we will update the market as appropriate.

Simon Fox, Chief Executive of HMV Group, said:

"The Hammersmith Apollo is an iconic London venue and it has been a privilege to own it over the last three years. However the sale will enable HMV to extend its bank facilities, strengthen its capital structure and ensure a strong future for the Group. AEG has a great track record in running live venues. They and their partner buyer CTS EVENTIM, the leading European ticketing services provider, have impressive and exciting plans for the Hammersmith Apollo and we wish them well."

In der kommenden Woche wirds die Quartalszahlen geben, man kann gespannt sein. Auf Jahressicht ist das Ziel eine Kursverdopplung, längerfristig kann es durchaus wieder auf 20p gehen.
