Ryder Capital Limited Media Release 14 August 2020

Ryder Capital delivers 149% increase in total comprehensive income after tax to $7.7m, increases total profits reserves by 65% to $18.9m and declares a 3.0 cent fully franked final dividend, increasing FY20 dividend by 25% to 5.0 cents fully franked.

Ryder Capital Limited (Ryder or Company) [ASX: RYD] announces that continued strong investment performance resulted in a 149% increase in FY2020 total comprehensive income after tax to $7.7m. FY2020 pre-tax undiluted net tangible assets (NTA) per share increased by 12.34% to $1.6381 and the Company’s pre-tax net assets increased from $89.4m to $97.8m during a challenging period for equity markets.

NTA per share was enhanced by the operation of the Company’s share buy-back where 639,598 ordinary shares were bought back for an outlay of $827,182 equating to an average buy-back price of $1.2933 per share. The Company intends to selectively continue the operation of the share buy-back where it is accretive on a fully diluted basis.

Directors are pleased to announce a 3.0 cent per share fully franked final dividend (payable 9 September 2020 with an exdate of 19 August 2020) taking the full year dividend to 5.0 cents fully franked, an increase of 25% on the prior year.

Ryder’s capital profit reserve rose by 48% from $11.4m to $16.9m which together with a $1.9m improvement in the Company’s profit reserve, increases total distributable profits by 65% to $18.9m or $0.321 per share providing a solid foundation for the Company to continue to pay a steady to increasing stream of fully franked dividends.

Ryder’s FY2020 investment performance of 12.34%, as measured by the movement in pre-tax undiluted NTA per share, continued to materially exceed both its benchmark and that of all other ASX equity indices. Set out below is the Company’s gross portfolio performance, undiluted pre-tax NTA[(1)(3)] and pre-tax NTA return[(1)] equity performance, across short and medium term time frames including inception to date (ITD)[(2)] :

Outlook

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 health pandemic remain highly uncertain in depth, breadth, and timing. Geopolitical tensions are increasing globally and with the US entering a critical election period we expect tensions to intensify with volatility likely to be directly correlated. This backdrop is not one that should be supportive of record high asset prices however, the magic of zero interest rates and record fiscal stimulus has forced risk aversion aside for now. We anticipate this chapter may go on for some time as we operate in uncharted waters with little in the way of fundamentals or historical precedent to guide us.

With a mixed backdrop and divergent views, we expect to see further opportunities for mispricing creating opportunities for Ryder to deploy capital. In the absence of sensible, value oriented investments we will look to increase our cash weightings, maintain our indirect exposure to gold while actively looking to increase our exposure to low multiple cash generative investments.
