It is the largest LBO in Australia to go down during the financial crisis. It has a very high payout ratio with a 7% yield and too much debt. The business of broadcast outlets is a tough one because there is lots of inflation. It is hard to invest for growth when a company is paying most of its cash intake in dividends.
He has lots of respect for management and has made money in their prior ventures. It is a proven and ambitious team. It is interesting because it is growing revenue and production by 200% as well as cash flow. Has under two terms of debt. He likes their longer term development plan. They have an interesting and smart view of infrastructure. They are not paying out cash flow in dividends but are using it for developing per share growth. Ultimately they don't need capital markets.
If you are looking for exposure to LNG, Tourmaline would be good.
