Daniel Gladis presented his in-depth investment thesis on Total Produce (Dublin: TOT) at European Investing Summit 2013.
Large, Europe-focused B2B operator in a specialist sector: the sourcing, marketing, distributing, and packaging of fresh produce, including stone and soft fruit (15% of revenue), bananas (14%), salads (13%), vegetable/potato (12%) and other categories. Investment case: 1) market leader with a strong balance sheet; 2) experienced management with ownership; 3) solid and resilient, low-risk business model; and 4) attractively valued (current FCF yield close to 14%; 12-13% FCF yield based on 2007-13 average FCF). Capable and incentivized management, and large growth runway (market share expansion in a fragmented global industry) make this an attractive compounding opportunity for long-
term investors.
