Tim Hortons Inc. raises offer price Shares bumped up $4 to $25-$27 Interest high in coffee chain issue Mar. 22, 2006. 01:00 AM An enthusiastic market already appears to be valuing Tim Hortons Inc.'s stock at $27 (U.S.), an analyst said as the coffee chain prepares to begin trading on stock markets Friday. Larry Miller, a New York-based analyst with Prudential Equity Group, estimates Tim Hortons shares may be worth $21 to $23 each, or 11 to 12 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. But, he says, the market is already valuing Tim Hortons at 14 times EBITDA, or $27 per share. Given the Oakville, Ont.-based coffee chain's "cult-like brand status in Canada," and its strong earnings, Miller expects a healthy appetite from both institutional and retail investors for Tim Hortons' shares. "There are few high-quality consumer names for Canadian institutions to own," he said. "It's also possible Tim Hortons could be included in one or more Canadian indices." Tim Hortons said Monday its shares will likely be priced at $22 to $24, or $25 to $27 (Canadian), up $4 from the range in its Canadian preliminary prospectus and U.S. prospectus. Tim Hortons, owned by Ohio-based Wendy's International Inc., has also granted underwriters the option to buy 4.35 million units more of its stock at the offering price "less the underwriting discount to cover over-allotments, if any," it said. The amended offering of about 33 million shares could raise about $890 million (Canadian). Wendy's announced earlier this month it would spin off its remaining shares, about 85 per cent of Hortons, by year-end. Tim Hortons plans to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, under the symbol THI. Founded by its namesake Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tim Horton and Ron Joyce, a former Hamilton police officer and franchisee of the first Tim Hortons store, the coffee and doughnut chain was bought by Wendy's in 1995 in a deal worth $580 million. At the time, the private company had 1,000 outlets across Canada and reported sales in 1994 of $600 million. In 2005, Tim Hortons earned a profit of $191.1 million on sales of $1.48 billion. Wendy's revenue for 2005 rose 4 per cent to $3.78 billion (U.S.). But sales at stores open at least one year, a key measure of retail performance, fell 3.7 per cent. Canadian Press |
