High Times Holdings – the owner of High Times Magazine – is planning to go public.
Since 1974, High Times has published a monthly magazine focused on cannabis and the marijuana counterculture.
With legal cannabis sweeping across the United States, you’d expect that High Times might have a thriving business. But that’s not exactly the case.
In the first nine months of 2017, the company reported revenues of $12.4 million. That represented no growth over the same period in 2016. Meanwhile, the company reported a net loss of $16 million during the recent nine-month period.
High Times plans to raise up to $50 million from investors at a price of $11 per share. The offering values the company at $275 million on a “pre-money” basis.
It’s impossible to value High Times on a price-to-earnings basis, since the company is losing millions every year. Therefore, valuing the stock on a price-to-sales basis makes more sense.
Assuming that High Times generated $16 million in revenues last year, the company is valued at about 17-times sales.
Let’s compare that with one of the biggest magazine publishers: Meredith Corp. (NYSE: MDP). The company publishes a wide variety of magazines including Better Homes & Gardens, Midwest Living, Eating Well and Rachael Ray’s Every Day.
Meredith is currently valued at $3 billion, versus its revenues of $1.75 billion. That means the company is valued at 1.7-times sales. Plus, Meredith generates nearly $150 million in annual profits.
It’s tough to argue that High Times – with huge financial losses and zero growth – is valued at 10X more than a profitable magazine publisher like Meredith.
In early 2017, a private equity group led by Adam Levin purchased High Times from the family estate of the magazine’s founder. The price paid? Just $70 million.
Levin – now the company’s CEO – plans to quickly flip his $70 million investment by taking the company public.
Investors should avoid the hype with this one. There are far better investments in the cannabis sector – including companies in Canada and California that are growing extremely quickly.
