We are short NMC Health plc. We have serious doubts about the company’s financial statements, including its asset values, cash balance, reported profits, and reported debt levels. At the worst of times, the company has invested in large assets at costs that we find too high to be plausible – including from parties we believe are de facto under common control. This behavior gives rise to concerns about fraudulent asset values and theft of company assets. At somewhat better times, the company seems to “only” materially mislead, such as by trying to give investors the (false) impression it does not engage in reverse factoring, and by understating (we believe intentionally) lease debt.
