Is Skullcandy Headed for Bust?

Is Skullcandy Headed for Bust?

The end of 2012 and the start of 2013 has been a real roller coaster ride for the Park City-based audio company as nearly 60% of total shares in the market were sold short in recent months. Talks of takeovers and mergers have made the public curious about what is really happening in the company. Are there some short circuits in the capital structure? 

The company's credit rating was downgraded again recently, giving the company a default likelihood of 0.12445%, a percentage we haven't seen in nearly a year. The company won't be considered a high-yield stock until it hits a default likelihood of  0.30% but that number is getting way too close for comfort. 

I was able to generate a couple reports to look at (thanks to Bloomberg) so you can see what the company is looking like on paper. The numbers haven't changed much as the WACC (the cost of keeping the firm running) is sitting around 10.5% but keep in mind that this a still a ROUGH APPROXIMATION. 



The following report shows where the company has been at for the past year, who holds how much of Skullcandy shares, the earnings the company has generated over the year, etc. 




In an article published on the 16th of January, CEO Jeremy Andrus said that he has no intentions of selling the company and is very headstrong regarding the direction of the company. Skullcandy has 70,000 Twitter followers and 2 million Facebook fans. So where is the company really headed? 

I want to hear what you think about the company and where it's headed. Can you smell a buyout of the company? Or do you see a big comeback in the near future?

Skullcandy, Inc.        *Update*       Market Price (1/16/13):  $7.03


With so many shares being sold short through the end of 2012 and Jefferies Group, Inc. recommending the selling of SKUL shares, Skullcandy stocks dropped to an all-time low of $6.70 on Jan 3, 2013. With stock prices so low, word started getting out that several Private Equity firms, including Roth Capital, are keeping a close eye on Skullcandy for a possible takeover.

With Skullcandy being in the 96th percentile of the cheapest stock to buy in the Russell 2000 index, any investor would steal the cheap, consistently profitable, audio company. 

So Why the Drop?

Beats by Dre exceeded market expectations and cut into the market share of Skullcandy. Even though Skullcandy has come out with several new products in order to stay competitive, it has not been able to get out of the teen-to-twenties male target market, allowing Beats to have larger market share overall. 

The extremely high amount of shares float (shares held by public investors that are available for trading in the market) sold short killed the stock price. By flooding the market with shares, the supply far outweighed the demand, dropping the prices over and over again.

What To Do?

Hedge Funds are loving Skullcandy right now. They have already made a killing on the short position, shorting nearly 60% of SHROUT in Nov and Dec. Now only 30% of shares are being sold short since the PE firms are targeting Skullcandy for a takeover. These hedge funds that bought back the stock at a low price now want to see the price shoot up to make even more money.

If you currently hold shares of Skullcandy, I would hang onto them and wait for the price to rise even more. If someone actually makes an offer on the company, the price will increase. However, it is not known if Skullcandy even has intentions of selling the company so keep that in mind when holding onto your stock. 


I am excited to see the 2012 4th Quarter earnings report that is set to come out Feb 18. Expectations are high and I expect the Q4 earnings to exceed expectations, sparking excitement about the future of the company.

Keep your eye out and watch the PE firms for possible bids on Skullcandy.

Skullcandy Valuation and Recommendation (11/12/2012)


SKULLCANDY, INC.                    Recommendation: BUY
                                                                                                Target Price: $15.51
                                                                             Market Price(11/18/12): $9.05 

 

Investment Summary


After valuating the intrinsic value of the current stock price and analyzing the economic outlook for the industry, I suggest a strong hold/buy on Skullcandy equity. I recommend this buy due to what has been happening in the tech industry, the upcoming holiday season and the cheap buy-in opportunities of a well performing company.

The historical performance of the stock is short, but very sweet. For being publicly traded for only 18 months, it has beaten market expectations, especially in key financial ratios. As far as how the company is run, a new CEO has come to better improve the overall appeal of the deflated equity price and the financial reports are very strong. 3rd quarter reports are promising as the company heads into the final, most profitable quarter of the year while looking to break its own revenue records.

Skullcandy has taken some heat lately from critics who are optimistic about the success of the newly designed Apple ear buds that were released with the new iPhone 5. The error in this optimism for Apple headphones from many consumer reports is the new headphones were merely an improvement in fit and comfort, but not in sound. Those who care enough about the quality of music they listen to will buy more comfortable, better quality headphones from companies like Skullcandy who provide affordable quality and comfort in their products.



Business Description


Skullcandy is an audio company that specializes in headphones, earphones and ear buds that are catered to a younger, artistic generation. While Skullcandy is a publicly traded company, it is a non-conventional corporation, doing what it can to stay away from the Wall Street stereotype. Skullycandy headphones use bright colors and abstract model names to get recognition and maintain the individualistic nature of the company while developing and distributing its products to retailers worldwide. Skullcandy was a local name in Utah but word spread quickly as the Park City-based company gained reputation with skiers, snowboarders, and skateboarders around the world. The company broke through the international market in 2008 when it began distributing to retailers in Europe. Since then the company has kept producing new designs and products modeled after professional surfers, skateboarders and snowboarders. Skullcandy has a strong, innovative design team that has always focused on putting out creative colors and design for all their products which keeps the consumers coming back for more.

 

Industry Overview and Competitive Positioning

The audio industry is a tricky one, with new technology and ergonomic design features coming out every month. To be competitive in this market you need to have innovative minds on your team that know what the public is wanting. Skullcandy has been a smaller company in the past but has grown with overseas operations and public relations coming from professional riders such as Dan Brisse and Tanner Hall. The company is now competing with Bose, Harman International, and Sony, which are pretty big names in the sound industry. The chart below gives a comparison of competitors in the industry and an industry benchmark. Although Harman’s information is available, Sony and Bose are privately held so their information is not so easily accessible. The industry rundown is found below:

Valuation


It was interesting going through the valuation process of the company since it hasn’t been around for too long but the analysis is correct and proves for an interesting look at how the company is being treated in the market. Since the company doesn’t have enough historical data, the correct Beta is not listed and therefore cannot be calculated into key valuation methods such as the CAPM. Skullcandy also has very little debt and does not issue dividends, contributing to the calculation of the Divend Discount Model. I will use the Dividend Discount model and other evaluation models to show the current intrinsic value of the equity, based on third quarter reports and theoretical intrinsic value.

Even though the company does not issue dividends, the DDM shows the most accurate calculation. The other two methods used for the price calculation show a price based on a on average of a volatile industry so even though they are less accurate, they still show just how undervalued Skullcandy is on the market.







The first Fair Value per share analysis gives us a look at what the company should be worth relative to the other companies in the industry. The industry average P/E ratio multiplied by the Earnings per Share of Skullcandy lets us see what the price of Skullcandy should be. The second method uses current capital values from the 3rd quarter financial reports that help us estimate the price of the equity. I will stick with my first method as I have more value in that method.
                            
                                                                             

The fair value of Skullcandy is set at $18.34 per share; meaning that this equity is traded at nearly 50% of its theoretical fair value price in the market as of today.

Overall, the most accurate methodology used is the Dividend Discount Model. That model generates a share price of $15.51 while the two Fair Value per Share methods produced share prices of $18.34 and $13.78. The fact that the most accurate method produces a price in between the less accurate models makes sense and adds to validity of the theoretical intrinsic value of the company, as it is extremely undervalued.

Other factors that boost the intrinsic value of Skullcandy include the Earnings per share ratio (low ratio = cheap and healthy) and the increasing revenues over the last 18 months. I would expect revenues in skyrocket with the approaching holiday season.
(Blue - EPS, Red - Revenue)



The chart below also gives us some useful information that we can visually track over the last 18 months. The Orange line represents the Return on Assets starting from when the stock began its public trading and has increased steadily ever since. It is currently in the position to keep moving in that upward direction. The Blue line on the chart here shows the Price/Earnings ratio of the company for the last 12 months. With a low P/E ratio, we can assume a cheap, solid buy in equity.



The WACC was calculated from the most recent financial statements showing the capital structure of Skullcandy. The company carries very little debt which is extremely impressive for a company this successful and this young.

             





Skullcandy is so impressive that is has beaten out the Russell 2000 Consumer Index of small cap stocks for the last few years in nearly every key ratio. This report was pulled directly from Bloomberg with the only editing being in the formatting of the chart so it is easy to follow: Green = beat market returns, Red = lost vs market returns

What really brings down the price of the stock are the short sellers. There is much speculation of Skullcandy of whether it can really stay and compete as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq. The nature of the company is the opposite of what is marketed towards most financial gurus on Wall Street and because of that there is must negative connotation with Skullcandy. The chart to the right breaks down how much of the publicly traded shares are sold short, giving a clear indicator of what the market thinks of Skullcandy. Nearly 60% of all shares float are sold short as of Oct. 15, 2012.








         Financial Analysis


The financial statements for this year are looking very solid, showing growth and preparation for further growth in the upcoming quarters. Overall, I only found a couple things to that aren’t consistent with the outlook:

·         Total Cash dropped this last quarter by about $6 million which prompts us to ask the question, where did all that cash go? The inventories on the balance sheet show an increase in product of about $10 million that I assume will be distributed to retailers over the remainder of this quarter in anticipation of big sales revenue during the holiday season.

Earnings

The earnings reports show strong revenue streams and even stronger projections for the next coming years. Sales have been increasing annually along with free cash flows. With the holiday season coming up and a company that has very little debt, there will be large cash flows to report for the fourth quarter, making it a record-breaking quarter and year from the company.

·         Income from operations went up to $10.6 million this quarter, a 29.1% jump from last quarter.
·         Net revenue was reported at $71 million this quarter, a 17% jump from the same quarter last year. The fourth quarter in 2011 showed a remarkable 37.5% growth from the 3rd quarter of 2011. Historical patterns and new products this year both show extremely positive outlook for this last holiday quarter of 2012.




Cash Flow

The ever-increasing cash flows have proven strong for Skullcandy, beating market banchmarks, expectations and even its own projections. Cash was spent on investing activities from acquisitions which shows the company is expecting to grow and expand in the coming years. Even with these investments the company still produced higher net cash flows from previous years, indicating growth at an accelerated rate. For me, this company will be reporting exponential numbers in the fourth quarter where the share price will jump significantly.



Balance Sheet & Financing

The thing that really brings Skullcandy into the limelight for investors should be the debt situation: there is none. This company has historically been a company that has stayed away from debt and leveraging in order to maintain strong financial statements. As well all know debt isn’t a bad thing, but for Skullcandy, staying true and “not buying when you don’t have money” has proven very beneficial. No dividends and zero long-term debt show that they are very financially independent and do the majority of their financing in house, which is a great selling point for investors.







Investment Risks


The risks that are incorporated when involving a tech company like Skullcandy are self-explanatory: it’s a tech company.
That doesn’t mean you have to pull the plug on it but there are some things to take into consideration:

·         The Tech Wave: There are many people are firms that build their investing platform on riding out the wave of popular and trendy tech products. With the world so fierce when looking at the tech industry, it is truly a dog-eat-dog world and new technology and cheaper manufacturing are daily battles that are fought with serious consequences. Your company can be up one day but can be plummeting the next with news of a faster, lighter, better product coming from your competitor. So just watch your back.

·         Targeted Market Share: When a new, hip company comes along to get attention from kids it might get exactly that: attention from kids. Skullcandy is a younger company that is targeting younger consumers and therefore losing a large part of the market share. When competing with companies like Bose, Sony, and Harman, Skullcandy may want to reconsider the type of products that it produces and look into diversifying. These three competitors put their audio technology not only in headphones, but in home theater systems, commercial sporting arenas and the best selling luxury automobiles in the world. If Skullcandy really wants to compete with the big wigs, it must increase its market share.

·         Shorting: In recent financial findings, it is reported that sixty percent (60%) of its shares are sold short. This goes to show there is much speculation in this young company and this shorting is driving down the share price.
