SVI operates in a structure relatively similar to a REIT but is much more growth-focussed. It needs to utilize debt in order to be able to grow its portfolio of assets which it rents out. It has also grown primarily via acquisition. The rising rate environment has created cost pressures, however we do think the outlook is positive. As Canada has already begun cutting rates, we think SVI stands to benefit from lower interest expenses (bottom-line expansion) and being able to isse more debt to finance growth (top line expansion). The industry is capital intensive so while high debt is a risk, it is somewhat unavoidable. We like the outlook for SVI.

Just made a fairly large acquisition and issued new stock, which was probably not the best time. That put a top on the stock, but long-term she really likes it. It probably has another 5-6 years of acquisitions ahead of it. They don’t have any competition right now. Management is great and have made a good job of integrating acquisitions. They are logical in how they plan their geographical locations. There is more to go before the run out of steam.
