Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning 5i team,
I am a little late reading Q&A. Not a question but a complement of information. Regarding Kevin’s question on August 4th about DOL’s negative shareholder equity: your points are all valid, but my understanding is that this situation on the balance sheet results mainly from their massive annual share buybacks over the last few years. Per share, the cost of the buyback is higher the book value. Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Thinking about taking a position in one of the following companies, given studios can now own movie theatres after Paramount Consent Decrees of 1948 have been removed. I have a 3-5 year horizon and think people will eventually come out of hiding ; ) Also, if there is another company (entertainment) that has been recently beaten-up that you prefer, please let me know.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan.
I have been watching RVLV for a while now. I initiated a small position a few days ago. ER today after market seems really good. I understand you did not have a compelling story to hold the stock for a long term. Did ER today change your view on that?

Thank you,

Q: These etf's have been producing real good returns. Is this replacing the old oil that is feeling that the best is over and now we are going into a new energy field for the future, faster than we thought. These seem like a good way to get a large exposure to new and fast growing company's. Good Day.

5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
Revenue of $19.6M was $1M ahead of estimates; EPS loss was slightly below. Revenue rose 53% but EBITDA shifted to negative $0.1M from +$1.8M and was below estimates. Backlog rose $22M to $85.5M. Cash is $60M. Revenue guidance was maintained but costs have increased and profit guidance has been retracted, which will disappoint some. Some of the additional costs are Covid-related. The conference call is later today and we will get more info.
