April 2022

 Tyman PLC is an international supplier of engineered building components and solutions to the construction industry.

TYMN designs and manufactures products that enhance the comfort, sustainability, security, safety and aesthetics of residential homes and commercial buildings.

Headquartered in London, the company employs over 4,000 people, with facilities in 16 countries worldwide.

 RATIONALE

Tyman PLC is a building materials manufacturer that develops hardware components for doors and windows used in residential and commercial building environments. The company operates through three segments

AmesburyTruth manufactures windows and door hardware component, extrusions and sealing systems. 

ERA provides mechanical security hardware, decorative hardware, weather seals and electronic security systems including wireless alarms, CCTV and video. 

SchlegelGiesse produces weatherproof seals, compact balances and reinforcers, full suite of window and door hardware, including high security locks and electronic access controls. 

After 3 years of consistent and impressive revenue growth, Tyman released a strong set of results at the beginning of March 2022. The company saw its share price rise by about 4% to 375p, but that positive sentiment faded and the price has since fallen to 320p. According to our metrics, the company is now undervalued based on its financials. 

In March, the company reported:
  • A 17% increase in revenue to £635.7 million vs £572.8 million in 2020
  • Adjusted operating profit of £90 million vs £80.3 million result in 2020
  • Pre-tax profit of £64 million compared to its £47.6 million figure in 2020

The home products company said an increase in market share and strengthening demand helped boost revenueTyman commented that it had achieved its excellent performance goals despite industry-wide challenges to its supply chain, alongside labour restrictions and input cost inflation.

CEO Jo Hallas said:

“The Group’s performance was robust, with strong market momentum and share gains delivering growth in spite of well-publicised supply chain challenges, labour constraints and input cost inflation.” 

“We expect underlying demand in 2022 to remain strong, driven by favourable housing market fundamentals, albeit set against rising macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures.”

“We continue to take actions as necessary to mitigate ongoing industry-wide supply chain challenges and cost inflation.”

“The Group is well positioned for growth in 2022 and beyond, benefiting from long-term structural industry growth drivers, our strategic initiatives and building on our portfolio of differentiated products, market-leading brands and deep customer relationships."

Furthermore, investors buying before the end of April will also see a record dividend per share of 12.9p vs 4p in 2020.

Conclusion

Tyman looks well set to grow in 2022 and beyond, and with negative sentiment around housing and difficulties with the supply chain, the company is looking undervalued based on its current financials. 

We will be adding TYMN to our portfolio on Tuesday.
