Cleanspace Holdings Ltd
Investment Summary
The fund managers believe that Cleanspace Holdings Ltd. (CSX) has shown a strong potential for profitability, despite its past struggles following its IPO and the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In their opinion, the company’s industrial business, which has been growing at a robust pace, is now poised to return to profitability, particularly due to its high-margin, capital-light model. While the first quarter of the financial year showed weaker-than-expected growth, the managers are optimistic about the company's prospects, especially considering the significant operating leverage it can achieve. They expect the business to reach a breakout point by FY2026, with a projected EBITDA of $2 million, which they believe will be attractive at its current market capitalization. The fund managers view the business model as scalable, with strong product differentiation and a significant competitive edge, though they acknowledge the risks related to inventory ordering patterns and market fluctuations.

Mereweather Capital Inception Fund continues to hold its position in Cleanspace Holdings (CSX) despite recent challenges, including a weaker-than-expected trading update. The company experienced slower sales growth and disruptions but has strong operating leverage with high-margin products and a capital-light model. The business has returned to its core industrial market after overexpansion into healthcare, with impressive growth prospects. Although current growth is below target, CSX’s innovative products, cost efficiencies, and the potential for a strong profit inflection in 2026 make it a compelling medium-weight position in the portfolio.
