Financials & Valuation

💡
1Q22 Valuation (Dec2021) — I’m estimating pro-forma earnings at $1 per share for FY22. This combines trailing cash distributions from JV brands of ~$11m, EBITDA from Buddy’s less corporate costs of $4.4m, interest expense of $1.9m, and capex at $0.3m = $13m or $1 per share. At a 12x multiple, that’s a $12 price target for FY22.
