TFC’s cash revenue has increased from $18.4 (1H FY13) to $60.7m (1H FY16). A compound growth rate of around 50%. Similarly cash EBITDA has increased from a loss of $11.1m (1H FY13) to a surplus of $8.6m (1H FY16). A clear trend of increasing cash EBITDA.
TFC states its “cash inflows from plantation sales are heavily weighted to H2” (page 15).
The CEO stated “The 2016 harvest will commence in May 2016 and is expected to deliver more than 300 tonnes of heartwood – a tenfold increase on last year. Our harvested yield will be sold to our diverse global customers and generate attractive cash margins which will transform our financial performance” (my emphasis)
Consequently, I am not concerned with the cash flow risk. I believe it is one of its great positives because it is about to commence receiving large cash inflows.
[Please note, I am not ‘debating’ with you. I am writing this post to force me to consider the risk and justify my conclusion]
