What the manager wrote
During the quarter I built a position in Ascent Industries (“ACNT”). ACNT is a small specialty chemicals company that is transforming from an over-levered conglomerate into a pure-play with a pristine balance. In early 2024 the company revamped its management team with the election of a new CEO & CFO, two individuals who have leadership experience working at large cap chemical companies (Dow Chemical) and turnarounds (Clearon – operations improved and business sold). Since then, ACNT has sold off its tubular steel assets, thereby eliminating $70m of debt and leaving the company with almost $60m of cash. Management has indicated that their facilities are currently running at just 50% utilization. In other words, they can bring the company to $150m in revenue with little capital investments. Operating leverage and a shift toward proprietary products should allow the company to grow its EBITDA margins from mid-single digits to >20%.
