Founded in 2007, RM2 is a vertically-integrated innovator in pallet development, manufacture, supply and management. Recognising that there are significant costs and drawbacks associated with traditional pallets, RM2 has established a disruptive presence in global pallet supply and aims to improve the supply chain of manufacturing and distribution businesses through the effective and efficient use and management of composite pallets.

RM2 has designed and manufactured the BLOCKPal™ pallet, a multi-trip, heavy duty composite pallet that is suitable for use in both automated and manual areas of the supply chain where there are high levels of movements. The composite material and the associated manufacturing process is designed to bring qualities of strength, durability, flexibility and scale of production as well as other benefits. The BLOCKPal™ pallet has been independently tested by leading institutions and has been shown regularly to outperform comparable products and industry standards.

RM2 aims to change the way its customers look at pallets from a consumable to an asset that can generate significant accretive profit margin. To do this, we align ourselves with potential customers – typically large manufacturing, distribution and retail businesses – to provide an integrated solution to their pallet and pallet movement needs, whilst interacting with other logistics partners, as necessary. RM2’s products have been developed in consultation with these customers and are designed to provide receivers of goods with greater visibility over costs and the ability to reduce the direct and indirect costs associated with inbound goods movements.

RM2 can supply its pallets and the associated services on a rental basis to closed loops or by outright sale and its production method is versatile enough to easily supply standard or bespoke pallets.

RM2 International boss buys £0.6m of shares

Fri, 18 July 2014
Chg: 0.00



Pallet manufacturer RM2 International, which floated on the stock market at the start of the year, has announced that its boss John Walsh has bought one million shares in the company.

Former banker Walsh, who has been RM2's Chief Executive since its inception, purchased the shares at a price of 61.625p, just a month after the shares hit a new low of 50p.

Ahead of Walsh's transaction on Thursday, the stock had fallen by over a third since its debut in January, The price had reached a high of 112p shortly after listing.

Walsh's £0.62m spend lifted his stake in RM2 to over 21.05m shares, equal to a 6.6% holding.

Last month, the firm reported an annual loss before tax of $77.2m for 2013, compared with $21.3m the year before, mainly as a result of higher admin expenses and finance costs.

Anyone in here apart from cynic ?

Only the directors.

On the move, just under 17.5% rise today.

Up another 8% today. Not sure what's driving this, as there is no news.

Sharecast -


Despite its troubles since floating in January pallet manufacturer RM2 International has managed to attract some of the market's most renowned investors of late. It came to the market at 101p but by the time of its annual results on 16 June, the shares were trading at just 54p. Despite this, Britain's best-known value investor, Neil Woodford, purchased 24m shares in the firm though his new fund Woodford Investment Management. That equates to 7.5% of the company's shareholders' equity. As well, the company has brought on board two high-profile directors, former Diageo chief Paul Walsh and ex-Marks & Spencer boss Sir Stuart Rose, The Daily Telegraph's Questor team said.

However, last year the company saw its losses before taxes balloon, in large part due to a $40m payment to settle warrants issued to private investors. Despite the confidence in the shares, Questor believes that it cannot recommend them "with such expensive debts until a set of clean results appears". So 'sell', the tipster tells readers.

Shares - A key risk is the potential required for additional financial resources. RM2's $87 million cash position is forecast to turn into a net debt position of $85 million by the end -2015 and $266 million by end-2016, which reflects the capital intensive nature of the business. Net debt to EBITDA will be over 10 times in 2015 and 4.5 times in 2016, falling to 3.3 times in 2017.Analysts RBC puts a 100p price target based on a 2018 estimated enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 5.33 times. This implies a 57% upside to the current price of 63.5p .
