Marechale Capital plc
("Marechale Capital", “Marechale” or the "Company")
Half-yearly Results
Marechale Capital plc, an established City of London based corporate finance
house with a long-term track record and a strong reputation for advising and
financing high growth consumer brands, leisure, clean energy, mineral
extraction and technology companies, announces its unaudited half-yearly
results for the six months ended 31 October 2022 (“the Period”).
Chairman’s Statement
Following the significant value uplift in the Company’s investments reported
in Marechale’s full year results released in August 2022, the Board
continues to remain positive about the outlook for its investments.
While Marechale Capital continues to see interesting corporate finance and
advisory projects where it can take founders shares and warrants as part of
its advisory fees, the market remains a challenging environment to raise
capital. This has resulted in advisory projects launched in the summer not
being completed by the end of the Period. Marechale continues to look for new
funding partners alongside its traditional investor relationships.
During the six months ended 31 October 2022 the company generated gross
profits of £72,020 (2021: £227,435) and delivered an operating loss of
£18,995 (2021: Loss £15,000), resulting in an overall loss before tax of
£179,502 (compared to a Profit for the same period in 2021 of £1,501,000
which benefitted from significant investment revenues).
As reported in August 2022, the Company’s balance sheet shows a net asset
value of £3,483,929 (2021: £2,395,105), representing 3.66p of value per
share in issue. The Company remains positive about the investments that it
holds in its client companies. As at 31 October 2022 the Company had £246,808
of cash reserves.
The Board is working on a number of initiatives to create further value for
shareholders over and above its core investment portfolio and corporate
finance projects. Furthermore, the Board is hopeful to be able to announce
realisations on some of the Company’s investments in the next six months
Whist the current economic climate is difficult, Marechale Capital is working
hard and is convinced that there will be good advisory and investment
opportunities in its core hospitality, renewable, clean energy and technology
sectors over the short to medium term.
