Ive just come across this one in the last few days and have been very impressed by what I have seen so far. Hardly had a mention in the market world and floated middle of last year.
As a good and proven management team , looks cheap on fundies and is acquiring quality bolt ons in the fragmented market it serves.
Chart looks very sound and the company is profitable.
Fundies are...
P/E of just over 14 to end of Sept 2007 and a P/E of just over 11 and a PEG of 0.5 to end of sept 2008.
Looks very much like a new Worthington Nicholls.
Very similar to the admission document...

Growth Company Investor recommending it Friday evening...
Silverdell - SPECULATIVE BUY
Companies: SID
04/01/2007
Chaired by astute Marwyn Capital mover and shaker David Williams, Silverdell reversed into Bow Lane Capital last July. Another consolidation vehicle from the Marwyn stable, Bow Lanes brief when floated on AIM last April was to scout for deals in the fragmented environmental services sector.
Summer acquisition Silverdell looked a savvy first move, being a leading asbestos remediation business working for FTSE 100 ventures as well as central and local government. A significant portion of revenues are underpinned by framework deals, and growth to date has been purely organic. Legislative changes within the industry and the AIM quote should help yield new customers and more sizeable work, since only the highest standards are accepted for the bigger, more complex asbestos projects.
Just before Christmas, the highly complementary acquisition of profitable asbestos and environmental consultancy Redhill Analysts was announced. Capped at 10m, this cash and shares deal turned the group into a rounded asbestos services provider well placed to further consolidate a sector growing at 25% per annum.
Maiden preliminary figures for the group, reflecting a short 27-week period from March 2006 to 30 September and including a mere ten-week turn from the Silverdell business, revealed sales of 6.05m and pre-tax profits of 93,000.
While it is early days, in our view it is worth joining the likes of Williams (8.8%), and the astute F&C Asset Management (4.66%) on the shareholder list, with more exciting acquisitions sure to come.

Sure do Big Al and from the admission document..
The Directors and Proposed Directors believe that Silverdell
has the following strengths:
Brand and reputation: which provide a competitive advantage in an
industry which is both highly regulated and subject to increasing legislation/ litigation
Experience and track record: given the fragmented nature of the market,
only a few participants have the expertise and infrastructure to take on
major projects
Scale and geographic coverage: which enable Silverdell to continue to
capture nationwide contracts as well as providing a strong platform for
market consolidation
Health and safety record: of critical importance when winning new
business and difficult for competitors to replicate
Industry representation: which allows Silverdell to be at the forefront
of developments within the industry
Blue chip customer base: underpinning revenue and enabling Silverdell to
operate at the higher end of the market with the associated contract
premiums.

Interesting facts about the market.....
Uncertainty also surrounds the longevity of the market, although expectations
are that asbestos removal will peak around 2020, with 85 per cent. of all
asbestos having been removed by 2050.
It is believed that around 80 per cent. of the UK commercial and industrial
property stock have a high risk of containing asbestos, necessitating ongoing
asbestos management and potential remediation.ENDS.
Just shows what a massive market this is.

"Already identified opportunities for further complementary acquisitions".
Words taken from the CEO before the acquisition of Redhall.
It looks to me like we have more to come.
AND
The Directors and Proposed Directors believe that the industry is highly
fragmented, particularly as regards the regional providers, which presents a
significant opportunity for industry consolidation on a nationwide basis. The
Directors and Proposed Directors estimate that the Silverdell Group had
approximately 5 per cent. market share in 2005 based on its turnover when
compared to estimates of the market size.

MS
Stegrego - 4 Jan'07 - 22:35 - 53 of 76
This paragraph from the above doc does slightly bother me
'The HSE believes that for most work with asbestos this will maintain the status quo; however, the HSE is proposing to consult further on whether work with asbestos-containing textured coatings should be removed from the licensing
regime altogether. If that were to happen, licensed contractors such as
Silverdell could be exposed to competition from unlicensed contractors for such
work.'
It seems that the new Asbestos Regs 2006 http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/regulations.htm
did infact bring in the changes re coatings etc, such that:
Work is only exempt from licensing if:
the exposure of employees to asbestos fibres is sporadic and of low intensity (but exposure cannot be considered to be sporadic and of low intensity if the concentration of asbestos in the air is liable to exceed 0.6 fibres per cm3 measured over 10 minutes); and
it is clear from the risk assessment that the exposure of any employee to asbestos will not exceed the control limit; and
the work involves:
short, non-continuous maintenance activities. Work can only be considered as short, non-continuous maintenance activities if any one person carries out work with these materials for less than one hour in a seven-day period. The total time spent by all workers on the work should not exceed a total of two hours. [i]
removal of materials in which the asbestos fibres are firmly linked in a matrix, Such materials include: asbestos cement; textured decorative coatings and paints which contain asbestos; articles of bitumen, plastic, resin or rubber which contain asbestos where their thermal or acoustic properties are incidental to their main purpose (eg vinyl floor tiles, electric cables, roofing felt) and other insulation products which may be used at high temperatures but have no insulation purposes, for example gaskets, washers, ropes and seals.
encapsulation or sealing of asbestos-containing materials which are in good condition, or
air monitoring and control, and the collection and analysis of samples to find out if a specific material contains asbestos.
Overall i cant see this being a huge hit on turnover though - anyone else got any thoughts?
goldfinger

Hi Mickey good point one that I replied to on that board before the little hitler in admin who dislikes me removed my post.
The reference is from the admission document refering to the license for 'TEXTURED COATINGS', a minimal amount of the bigger asbestos removal picture.
I personally have a stake in a private business in the property renovation market and beleive me as soon as asbestos removal is mentioned would be contracters take off, they just dont want to know about it. Theres not enough skilled knowledgable people in the industry plus they also fear envoiremental health bodies slapping a huge fine on them if they dont come up to standard.
They just dont want the work.
Interesting to note aswell from the admission document the following......
In addition, the Directors and Proposed Directors believe that there are strong
barriers to entry to the industry,, in particular:
(a) a customer requirement for reputation and credibility, which offsets low
start-up costs;
(b) scale and a full service capability - critical if a provider is to have
full access to the market;
(c) a track record - a pre-requisite for cost effective insurance cover, among
other things; and
(d) the hazardous nature of asbestos and litigation risk. ENDS.
Sure the representative body may relax license laws on textured coatings, but is it going to hurt SID?, I very much doubt it will cause one jot of a problem.
cheers GF.

Its interesting to note that.......
Silverdell is a prominent member of ARCA and is represented on the Governing
Council and Technical Committee. The Directors and the Proposed Directors (which
terms are defined under the section entitled, 'The Board' later) believe that in
a market where clients are heavily focussed on brand and reputation, not only
does this enhance the Silverdell Group's credentials, it means that it can
actively participate in developments within the industry.
Silverdell has also innovated, developing technologies to record and monitor
removal works using audiovisual equipment (which the HSE intend to make an
industry standard) and introducing on-site self-auditing, a process now adopted
as good practice by ARCA.

Silverdell has an excellent health and safety record amongst its industry peers.
Adherence by the Silverdell Group to high standards of health and safety are
recognised within the industry: a senior employee won the Asbestos Removal
Contractors Association ('ARCA') Supervisor of the Year award in 2003 and
Silverdell currently holds the ARCA Regional Award for Training (South East). In
2006 Silverdell also received an award from the Royal Association for the
Prevention of Accidents ('ROSPA'). ROSPA awards companies who show a commitment
to the prevention of accidents within the workplace by the installation of
systems and procedures that empower employees to work in a more knowledgeable
manner when it comes to health and safety

goldfinger

The
Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that there are two main drivers for
the recent growth within the industry:
1. Legislation
Although legislation in relation to asbestos was first introduced over 20 years
ago, the principal legislation is contained within the CAWR.
In particular, Regulation 4 of CAWR introduces the concept of a 'duty to manage'
asbestos within non-domestic UK premises, creating an obligation to assess and
manage the risks from asbestos and ACMs within relevant premises. Broadly
speaking, non-domestic premises are defined as commercial and industrial
buildings as well as the common parts of public and social housing.
In practice, this necessitates the identification of asbestos and ACMs through
the conduct of surveys, the introduction of asbestos management plans and
regular audits to assess the stability of asbestos and its remediation as
appropriate e.g. prior to demolition or major refurbishment work.
In late 2005/early 2006 the HSE published a consultation document that sought
views on draft Regulations and an Approved Code of Practice to implement
amendments to the EU Asbestos Worker Protection Directive 83/477/EEC and other
changes to the existing asbestos regulatory framework. The HSE proposes to
repeal the CAWR, the Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983 and the Asbestos
(Prohibitions) Regulations 1992 and to replace them with a single set of
regulations. One of the legislative changes proposed in the consultation
document is to adopt a risk-based approach to defining work with asbestos or
ACMs which will be exempt from the requirement to obtain a licence from the HSE.
The HSE believes that for most work with asbestos this will maintain the status
quo; however, the HSE is proposing to consult further on whether work with
asbestos-containing textured coatings should be removed from the licensing
regime altogether. If that were to happen, licensed contractors such as
Silverdell could be exposed to competition from unlicensed contractors for such
work.
2. Litigation
As the incidences of asbestosis (scarring of the lung) and mesothelioma (cancer
of the lung lining) have gradually risen so have the number of asbestos-related
claims. Asbestos accounts for over 3,500 deaths each year and is the UK's
biggest single cause of work-related deaths. In 2005, the insurance industry
paid out 205 million in asbestos-related claims and the actuarial profession
has warned that the cost of asbestos claims in the UK could reach 20 billion in
the next 30 years.
The Directors and proposed Directors believe that rising claim volumes are
likely to encourage employers in particular to manage asbestos appropriately.
The current mortality rate from asbestos-related diseases is expected to rise
until around 2011-2015. There is also an appeal before the House of Lords in
respect of a number of cases in which the claimants are seeking damages for
pleural plaques (benign scarring of the lung tissue caused by exposure to
asbestos fibres). The Court of Appeal ruled that pleural plaques do not
constitute an injury and therefore do not attract compensation. If the House of
Lords reverses the Court of Appeal's decision and rules that compensation should
be paid for pleural plaques this may increase employers' concerns to manage
their asbestos risks appropriately.

Seriously though I nearly got into these after I sold out WNG just after the start of the year. Got into them on day one so profits were pretty healthy. Split money into Tanfield at 58p and GKN at 278p instead so I can't really complain.

Further aquisitions on the way I reckon...
David Williams, Chairman of Silverdell Plc, said: "Redhill Analysts is one of
the leading asbestos consultants in the UK, with a strong brand, a blue chip
customer base and a highly experienced and respected management team. This
acquisition brings a leading consultancy business to complement the existing
Silverdell remediation business, providing us with a dual platform from which to
become the leading UK asbestos services provider. It also represents the first
step in our stated strategy of consolidating the fragmented asbestos services
industry, which we estimate has experienced an annual growth rate of
approximately 25 per cent since 2002 driven by legislation and the threat of
litigation."
AND..
from the year end results outlook statement...
The performance to date and prospects for the current year are very positive.
Not only are customer renewal rates at a highly satisfactory level but many new
customers are looking to work with Silverdell. Our order book for the normally
quiet winter months is at a level above that expected. While it is too early to
take this as a firm indicator for the rest of the year, nevertheless it is very
encouraging.
Trades on a forward P/E of just over 14, far too cheap.

Silverdell plc
('Silverdell' or 'the Company')
Interim Results for the half year ended 31st March 2007
Silverdell plc, the UK's leading supplier of asbestos removal and consultancy
services, announces today its first full set of interim results since its
successful flotation on the AIM market in July 2006.
Highlights
* Turnover of 15.6m
* Operating profit before goodwill amortisation and share based payment
charge of 1.8m
* Adjusted earnings per share of 3.5p
* Acquired Redhill Analysts Limited ('Redhill'), completed on 31st December
2006 for a total consideration of up to 10.3m
* Established a unique market position as one of the largest players and the
only consolidator
* Awarded Specialist Contractor of the Year (Asbestos Removal) at
Construction News Awards (May 2007)
* Appointment of Chris Sims as Finance Director
Danny Spicer, Chief Executive, commented:
'We have a first class team and a clear and focussed strategy. During the
period, Silverdell has made significant progress in all areas of its strategy
including the Redhill acquisition. We remain committed to continuing to deliver
on the milestones set out during our IPO, and we look forward to the future with
confidence.'

Chris Sims, FD, Silverdell 020 7004 2744
Jonathon Brill, Billy Clegg, Financial Dynamics 020 7831 3113
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report our first full six month results as a listed company. For
the half year ended 31 March 2007 we generated an operating profit before
goodwill amortisation and share based payment charge of 1,836,000 (2006: nil)
and of 1,151,000 after goodwill amortisation and share based payment charge
(2006: nil) on turnover of 15,580,000 (2006: nil). With 35.72m shares in
issue this produces basic earnings per share of 0.8p (2006: 0.0p). Adjusted
earnings per share (as defined in note 5) were 3.5p (2006: 0.0p). The
comparative period covers the one week period from the date of incorporation 24
March 2006 to 31 March 2006 as Bow Lane Capital PLC.
During the period under review we acquired Redhill Analysts Limited ('Redhill'),
a long established and well respected asbestos and environmental consultancy
business. This acquisition completed on 31 December 2006 for an initial
consideration of 8.8m (including costs of 0.5m), plus a maximum deferred
contingent consideration of 1.5m. Its business has the benefit of a broad
service offering with revenue from the cyclical surveying work being
approximately equal to that generated by site supervision and air monitoring.
Our aim in making acquisitions is to combine businesses that will provide our
customers with the most efficient and wide range of services and to eventually
become a 'one stop shop' for all their asbestos requirements.
Both Redhill and Silverdell (UK) Ltd, the business acquired in July 2006, have
performed very well during this period under review and the management and staff
of both businesses should be congratulated on coping with the increased workload
whilst adapting their businesses to life as a part of a quoted company.
The asbestos marketplace continues to provide plenty of work and it is clear
that with regulation creating even greater awareness of the problems caused by
asbestos, the business has a lot more potential to grow during the coming years.
The significant investment made in staff training and health and safety enables
the group to remain at the forefront of our industry, a fact recognised by the
award of Specialist Contractor of the Year (Asbestos Removal) at last month's
Construction News award ceremony.
It is clear that with our experienced and hard working team we expect to see our
company grow both organically and by appropriate acquisitions. We look forward
to delivering our shareholders a good result for the coming six months and
beyond.

Again were going to have to disagree BA as fundies during the tech boom eg, Baltimore Tech trading on a P/S of well over 100 let alone making a profit pointed to the very fact that a BUST was imminent, as was the case with the whole market.
And this was while the TA brigade focusing on their charts were primarly looking at new tops and momentum and suggesting SPs could rise forever.

Silverdell Plc
('Silverdell' or the 'Company')
Acquisition of Kitsons Group Limited ('Kitsons')
Silverdell Plc, a leading UK supplier of asbestos contracting and consultancy
services, today announces the acquisition (the 'Acquisition') of the entire
issued share capital of Kitsons, a well established industrial asbestos
contracting business, for a total consideration of 14m on a 'debt free, cash
free' basis, thereby creating a truly nationwide specialist asbestos services
provider.
The consideration will be satisfied as follows: 4m drawn from an existing
facility with Barclays Bank; 8m from an equity placing of 5.33m new ordinary
shares at 150 pence per share to institutional investors; and 2m to be
satisfied by the issue of 1.33m new ordinary shares at 150 pence per share. The
new ordinary shares issued in connection with the Acquisition and the placing
will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares and are
expected to be admitted to trading on AIM at 0800 on 1 August 2007. Expenses
relating to the Acquisition will be met from existing cash resources.
The audited accounts of Kitsons Environmental Europe Limited, Kitsons's trading
subsidiary, for the year ended 31 December 2006 show turnover of 18.7m (2005:
16.6m), EBITDA of 1.7m (2005: 0.8m) and EBIT of 1.5m (2005: 0.6m). The
consideration of 14m payable at completion represents a multiple of 2006 EBITDA
of 8.2.
Kitsons provides asbestos removal, insulation and scaffolding services to the
nuclear, petrochemical and retail sectors, among others. Kitsons's blue chip
customer base includes an oil major, leading UK utilities, major building
contractors as well as local authorities. Kitsons has a 3 year asbestos licence
and a hazardous waste carrying permit as well as ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001
accreditations. A significant proportion of Kitsons's revenue is underpinned by
long term agreements.
Kitsons has approximately 270 staff and is head quartered in Warrington with
regional offices in Glasgow, Teesside and Birmingham and resident sites at
Aldermaston and Pembroke.
The Acquisition further strengthens the Company's service offering by combining
three leading brands in the asbestos services industry: removal and remediation
in the commercial (Silverdell (UK)) and industrial (Kitsons) sectors; and
asbestos consulting and air monitoring (Redhill Analysts). Following the
Acquisition, Silverdell has achieved its key strategic goal of nationwide
capability which includes a presence in high growth, specialist industrial
sectors such as nuclear.
Kitsons has an experienced operational management team led by Andy Watson, who
will be responsible for the day to day management of Kitsons and for growing and
developing the business. Peter Dolan, the vendor, will remain with Kitsons on a
consultancy basis.
The integration of Kitsons will commence immediately and the Company should
benefit from a number of cost synergies including the sharing of resources,
combined purchasing power and the local sourcing of labour. The Directors
believe there are also significant cross selling opportunities through
leveraging new and existing customer relationships between the three businesses,
which management of Silverdell intend to focus on particularly.
Danny Spicer, Chief Executive of Silverdell, commented:
'This is a very exciting acquisition for Silverdell as it enhances our
capabilities as the UK's leading, nationwide asbestos services provider as well
as giving us access to high growth, industrial markets. In addition, the
Company continues to execute on its strategy to consolidate the fragmented
asbestos services market. Kitsons is an excellent business with exciting growth
prospects and we look forward to welcoming its staff into the business.'

Silverdell - BUY
Companies: SID
14/12/2007
The only quoted asbestos industry consolidator, Silverdell delivered encouraging first full year results to September, making pre-tax profits of 2.2m from 38.5m turnover.
Listed as shell company Bow Lane Capital in April 2006, the acquisition of South East-based asbestos remediation outfit Silverdell a few months later laid the platform for this groups expansion in a fragmented and legislation-driven sector. Silverdell has since gone on to make three further acquisitions in line with its corporate brief of creating a nationwide one-stop shop for asbestos services, including removal, remediation and consultancy.
These include Redhill Analysts, a high-margin consultant whose sales arise mainly from asbestos surveys, and Kitsons, a business bringing geographic branch coverage throughout the UK and an 'entr' into the buoyant nuclear and petro-chemical sectors. Post-year end, hotel sector specialist Swift Asbestos was bought in an earnings-enhancing complementary deal. Further select deals acquisition criteria are stringent are a certainty, though management is determined not to overpay.
The original Silverdell business, continuing to foster long-term ties with clients including Shell and Marks & Spencer, drove performance as one would expect, delivering an impressive 370% profits push to 4.6m from 30.5m revenues in another record year, whilst Kitsons made an early contribution. Redhills nine-month 700,000 profits input was a mild disappointment, reflecting a slower than expected summer and investment spend to ensure growth. For 2008, analysts are looking for significantly improved earnings of 12.3p (8.3p), placing the shares, recommended by Growth Company Investor at 160.5p, on an undemanding forward multiple of 12.4. Keep buying.

Bought more of Silverdell last week - 12.7p Trading on 5x forecasts 2013v earnings which looks to low, since pre-tax profit is forcast to jump by 164% in the financial year to Sept 2013. A key reason behind the significant advance is Mays acquisition of industrial decommissioning-to demolition expert EDS. The first numbers for the enlarged group will be next months full year results (5 Dec) where Silverdale has indicated it will declare a maiden dividend. Analysts are looking for 0.2p for the initial
and 0.4p for the year ending 2013. The latter equates to a prospective 3.2% dividend yield. Much of Silverdell's work falls under non-discretionary spend where clients are forced by health and safety laws to remove asbestos or face hefty fines.EDS will help to improve the groups earnings visibility due to the nature of its contracts. The aquired business expands the groups skills and geographical reach and provides access to a loyal blue-chip customer base.Furthermore,it offers scope to work on higher -margin projects.

Pre-tax profit up 43% for Silverdell
5 December 2012 | 08:12am
StockMarketWire.com - Silverdell reports that revenues for the year ended 30 September 2012 were £82.5m (2011: £59.7m) with adjusted EBITDA of £6.2m (2011: £4.1m).
Operating profit was £1.3m and adjusted pre-tax profit was up 43% at £4.3m (2011: £3.0m), impacted in part by the deferral of certain shutdown and refurbishment works and by some lower margin work undertaken in the company's Consulting division.
As at 31st October 2012 the order book was £219m (31st October 2011: £107m), with £97m scheduled to fall in 2013. Adjusted basic earnings per share were 1.5 pence (2011: 1.4 pence).
At the year end, the Company's net senior debt was £4.5m (2011: £5.0m) with an additional £6m (2011: £0.2m) of asset-backed finance.
During the period Silverdell re-financed with a new, more competitive, three-year term with HSBC, affording the Group reduced overall financing costs, improved covenant terms and a global banking relationship.
We are today recommending a maiden dividend of 0.175 pence per share, which will be paid on 22 March 2013 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 13 March 2013 and is subject to approval by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting which will be held on 7 March 2013.

Valuation: Price factors in little success
Our base case forecast scenario is moderately negative in outlook, assuming just 2% revenue growth in the future. Even on this basis our DCF suggests a fair value of 23p a share. If management is successful in achieving its medium-term targets then this would add 35% to our valuation of the company, at a fair value of 31p/share. On our base case forecasts the company trades at 9.9x earnings, within its 9-10x trading range, and on an EV/EBITDA of 4.8x, below its historic 6x range. This suggests that the market does not think the management will have success in hitting its targets.

AGM trading update
Silverdell PLC (AIM: SID), the Specialist Environmental Support Services group, announces the following trading update in advance of its AGM, to be held at 11am today at the office of FinnCap, 60 New Broad Street, London EC2M 1JJ.
Silverdell is pleased to announce that it has secured a number of long term framework contracts worth in aggregate up to £3 million per year. The Group maintains a strong order book and tendering activity remains very high with a number of key opportunities being negotiated.
Following the positive start to the new financial year, the Board expects results for 2013 to be in line with its expectations. The Board also confirms its recommendation of a maiden dividend of 0.175 pence per share, to be paid on 22 March 2013 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 13 March 2013, subject to approval by shareholders at today's AGM.
The Board has taken the decision to accept an offer of circa £1m as final settlement from Shaw Group on its 18 month final account negotiation on Pembroke Power Station, a contract secured in 2010. A non-recurring exceptional charge of around £2.5m will be recorded in the first half results for 2013. The Company's underlying profit for 2013 will not be affected however year end net debt is now anticipated to be approximately £1 million higher than previous expectations.
The Board took the view that the release of cash would enable the Group to take advantage of many of the new opportunities now becoming available in its Decommissioning division. Considerable changes in policy have been implemented since the contract was first tendered and the Board is confident that its far more stringent controls, combined with moving to work directly for clients, will avoid a similar situation in the future.
Sean Nutley, Chief Executive of Silverdell, commented:
"Last year was a landmark year for Silverdell with the successful acquisition and integration of EDS, the securing of significant new contracts and the streamlining and strengthening of our management structure to give us a strong platform for the future.
"With a much transformed and broader service offering and geographical footprint, we are well-placed to implement our growth strategy supported by clear and achievable KPIs.
"Our confidence in the future is reflected in our recommendation of a maiden dividend. I look forward to reporting further progress."
