Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Regarding the recent issue of shares and debentures, which closed July 16 - what does this do for the balance sheet… or for any other aspects of PBH you feel is relevant?

Thanks!

From the press release:
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement to reduce existing indebtedness under one of its revolving credit facilities (the "Credit Facility"), thereby increasing the amount available to be drawn under such Credit Facility, as required, to fund future potential strategic acquisitions and capital projects that may arise.

Q: Hi Team
I have a corporate non-registered account I have started 4 months ago with a time frame of 5 years. Not worried about risk / sector (fairly diversified already) even though it is a corporate account (I keep enough cash in the account if needed so would not have to withdrawal). Looking to add 2 of the above stocks now. I will be adding every 4 - 6 months or so moving forward so I could add the others later. Do you have an order of preference.

Q: Just curious if you have done any research on the company Knight acquired (Biotoscana)? With Latin America and Brazil in particular being hit hard by Covid I’m thinking for the next number of quarters they may not be particularly accretive to earnings (and that might be the best case scenario). I know that you do engage management from time to time of companies you cover, have you picked up any concerns from Knight itself?

Q: Hi Guys
Savaria has fallen the last few months quite a bit. I would have thought in a world where people are motivated to stay in their homes, rather than move to long term care, it would be seen as a stock that would benefit from this trend, and the stock would follow.. I know they have companies they own in China - do you think this could be the reason - a concern about this part of their business given current CDN relations with China? I was thinking of adding to my existing position - up to about a 3% position - your thoughts?

Q: Hi 5iTeam.
I have a full position on GIB.A since 2014 and am currently thinking of liquidating my position and use the proceeds on either OTEX or DSR.
Can I have your thoughts on this and which one of OTEX and DSR would be your choice and why?
Cheers,

Q: Hello it seems in-room dining will not be coming back for awhile.
I'm thinking The Keg would be one of the better Canadian restaurant investments. They should do better in restoring customer traffic as:
1. they already have more spacing between tables so they can maintain the same customer capacity/hour
2. Consistent quality of food and ambiance that is not as easy or convenient to recreate at home.
3. They already have great staff training when it comes to allergy awareness - this means it will be a better experience in training staff for Covid19 protocols
4. The people who go to The Keg tend to be more middle-upper income who are not affected as much by the shutdown.
5. If food ingredient prices increase, their margins may not be affected as much as ingredient expense is a smaller % of their overall expenses.
6. Landlords view them as a quality 'draw tenant' and so hopefully will work with them to maintain occupancy

What do you think? Is the distribution safe or if cut, would it be restored faster?
