From
The Independent, 18 January 2005
Kleeneze, the once sleepy catalogue business, rose 24.5p to a fresh high of 191p as brokers the stock to be a major winner in 2005. In the short-term, the prospects for the group's internet based IWantOneofThose.com (IWOOT.com) gadget reseller and its TV shopping channel joint venture, to be launched in March, seem to be causing much of the excitement. IWOOT.com is believed to be the number one player in the market for gadgets, and already profitable, while its TV shopping business is also tipped to be seriously cash generative once up and running.

Kleeneze offloads
unit in cut price sale
|
Kleeneze has offloaded its loss-making display
marketing business DMG for just over one eighth of what it
paid for it less than three years ago.
DMG - which was recently renamed The Wonderful Book
Company - was sold to Premier Direct for just £4.1
million, a fraction of the £31.5 million Kleeneze paid
for the business in November 2000.
Chief executive William Rollason admitted the price was
"disappointing" but said the sale cleared the
way for the group to concentrate on its profitable
Kleeneze and Farepak businesses.
While the group's remaining businesses made operating
profits of £8.5 million in the year to April 30, up 20%
on last year, DMG ran up losses of £10.8 million.
And after a £33.4 million goodwill writedown on the
value of DMG, the business made pre-tax losses of £44.2
million.
The DMG figure dragged the Swindon-based group into the
red with pre-tax losses of £36 million but Kleeneze said
the disposal would allow it to concentrate on exploiting
"excellent opportunities" for the remaining
businesses.
Mr Rollason said: "It is disappointing to have
sold DMG for £4.1 million when the Group purchased it for
£31.5 million in November 2000.
"However, following a detailed strategic review in
which we considered the three options of retention,
disposal and closure, we concluded that any potential
upside from reducing the operating losses at DMG was not
sufficient; and the costs and risks of closure were too
great.
"This disposal clears the decks and will enable us
to exploit much more quickly the excellent opportunities
for Kleeneze UK and Farepak."
The Kleeneze catalogue business saw turnover grow 5.5%
to £86.3 million and operating profits rise by a fifth to
£6.6 million with a particularly strong performance from
its newer health and beauty lines.
