Investment Q&A

Q: Hi. Pursuant to my prior question about Orca, based on the "bare bones" math it appears that Orca has a Market Cap of $70.4 MM CAD (19.8 MM shares x $3.56CAD), cash on hand of $136.8 MM CAD ($98.5 MM USD), no debt, and cash flow from (6 month) operations of $72.5 MM CAD ($52.2 MM USD), or $3.66 CAD/share. Note that all the financial data is taken from the 6 month statements up to June 30 2025. I guess my first question is whether not I am missing anything material in the "math", as these numbers indicate a negative Enterprise value. The follow up is that if this numbers are indeed correct, then this valuation must be a function of perceived political risk, given that Orca operates in Tanzania. Can you shed any insight on this, or is this outside your wheelhouse ?

Q: I was looking through the questions about this company, as the valuation seems out of whack. The current Orca Financials (as of June 30 2025, on their website), state that there are about 19.8 MM shares outstanding, which at the current share price ($3.56 CAD) suggests a market cap of $70.5 MM CAD. In one of your earlier discussions about Orca, I saw a Market cap quoted at $155 MM. Am I missing part of the math on this one ?

Q: i have noticed this stock has been moving up over 20 percent lately. Has there been any change to its outlook. Are they making money?

Q: your answORC.B is quite small, and is the 'stub piece' of a company that was sold (Pan Ocean, by the same management) many years ago. So, the team has built and sold companies before. ORC is very small at $55M. Earnings have been up and down, and it currently has $60M net cash. Insiders own 18%. The company has been in a long running dispute with Tanzania, but this was settled this week with more money coming into ORC for natural gas sold in prior years. This is positive but highlights some of the political risk here. Two analysts cover the company. Shares have really underperformed, down 33% in ten years. Despite the pedigree of management, we would have little interest here, though certainly the company could get more active with its cash and this could spice things up if it were to do so. er was
