Inditex Returns To Profitability And Generates €734 M Net Cash In The Second Quarter

Inditex has seen a “rapid recovery” in the second half of its fiscal year 2020-2021, after returning to profits of 214 million euros in this period (between 1 May and 31 July), and leaving behind the loss of 409 million euros in the first three months. Sales recovered from -44% in the first quarter to -31% in the second quarter, despite as many as 87% of the Group’s stores still being closed in May. Today, 98% of Inditex’s stores are open, with restrictions still in place in some specific markets.

The Apparel Retail Sector Has A 15% Upside Potential, Partly Due To Inditex

Alphavalue Research | The industry is still a question mark: the shift to online purchases, to what extent buyers will need to see, touch and feel a product before making up ones’ mind. However with a 15% upside potential, the sector is nearly at acceptable prices. This is entirely due to Inditex (27% upside) and M&S (25% upside but best avoided). The fact that Zalando or Next do not trade wildly above their target prices may also indicate that a Buy window has opened. Time to dip a toe again.

Only The Coronavirus Has Been Able To Knock Inditex Back

Inditex has published results for its first fiscal quarter (February-April), reflecting as expected the strong impact of the coronavirus: historical losses of €409 million, positive EBITDA although 78% lower than in Q1’19, and a 44% drop in revenues. Nevertheless, the company confirmed the payment of a dividend against 2019 results of 0.35 euros/share, 60% less than a year earlier.

Inditex Postpones Temporary Layoffs; Will Continue To Support All Staff Remuneration With Its Own Resources

Inditex has decided to postpone its temporary layoffs’ plan, which was expected to start on 15 April. For the time being, it will continue paying the salaries of its workers in Spain. After the state of alarm was decreed on 14 March and just after presenting its results, Inditex already flagged that it was going to cover the cost of all its staff in Spain. At the same time, it conditioned the temporary layoffs for its 25,000 store employees to the extension of the decree beyond 15 April, a measure which is now ruled out.

Inditex Earns 6% More In 2019: Provision Of €287 M For Covid-19 And Delay In Dividend

Inditex recorded net income of 3.63 billion euros in the fiscal year 2019-2020 (from 1 February 2019 to 31 January 2020), a rise of 6% compared to a year earlier. This was after making a 287 million euros provision in the Gross Margin to adjust the estimated value of the spring/summer campaign’s inventory affected by the Covid pandemic. Without this impact, its Gross Margin would have amounted to 16.09 billion euros, 56.9% of sales.

Shorts in Inditex: it has reached its point of maturity

Morgan Stanley | One of the main calls of our retail analyst Geoff Ruddell (and outside the consensus) is to short Inditex. There is no doubt that Inditex is a high quality and well-managed business with an impressive track record. However, this is all already in the price and with stores in countries which represent 95% of global GDP, it has already reached its maturity point and its capacity for…
