Financials

The company reported the full year 2012 financial results on February 28 with the following highlights:

Revenue	$3.6 million
Net loss	$5.5 million
Cash	$228.1 million

Outlook

Looking ahead, the company views 2013 as a period dedicated to laying the foundation to support future growth. The company's top three priorities for 2013 are: first, growth through a disciplined acquisition process; second, expanding operational capacity and efficiency in stabilizing properties; and third, adding financing alternatives to the capital structure. The company is finding compelling investment opportunities across all of its markets. Silver Bay will grow by continuing acquisitions in existing markets, expanding to new markets, and acquiring portfolios.

The company is currently acquiring approximately $40 million to $50 million in single family properties on a monthly basis or approximately 300 to 400 homes per month. This has primarily been on an individual basis at auction, through brokers, and in privately negotiated transactions, although the company is beginning to see an increasing number of small portfolios trade. The company is quite optimistic in its ability to acquire quality homes, both leased and vacant, that have been aggregated by smaller players and believes the industry will continue to consolidate.

My analysis

There have been three different insiders buying the shares and there have not been any insiders selling the shares during the last 30 days. There is one analyst buy rating, one neutral rating and zero sell ratings with an average target price of $21.00. The stock is trading at a forward P/E ratio of 39.88 and the company has a book value of $17.67 per share. The stock could be a good pick at the book value.

The month of March 2013 has seen the most insider buying since November 2012.

Financials

The company reported the full year 2012 financial results on March 6 with the following highlights:

Revenue	$203.2 million
Net income	$14.8 million
Cash	$8.5 million
Debt	$47.7 million

Outlook

On a year-over-year basis, 2013 overall industry activity levels are expected to remain relatively flat over 2012. Within the Canadian market, industry experts are projecting the oil price differential to narrow in the second half of 2013 which should lead to more dollars in the hands of producer and this may result in increased funding for drilling and completions programs. So far in 2013, industry activity levels in Canada are at lower levels than the prior year. This is expected as the industry did not experience the overall decline in market activity until after the 2012 spring breakup.

The company continues to see significant opportunities in the U.S. market for both directional drilling and frac flowback services; in particular in the Texas and Oklahoma regions where the company's market share is minimal. In late 2012, Cathedral's U.S. Directional Drilling division opened an operations base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and for 2013 the company is expecting to experience an expanding work base from this area. For 2013 Cathedral is planning for increased activity levels from its Texas and Rocky Mountain regions. Despite being in a dry gas market, Cathedral's north east U.S. (Marcellus) area is expected to remain flat from an activity level basis.

My analysis

There have been six different insiders buying the shares and there have not been any insiders selling the shares during the last 30 days. The company has a 6% insider ownership. There are five analyst buy ratings, five neutral ratings and zero sell ratings with an average target price of $6.00. The stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 5.45 and a forward P/E ratio of 6.16. The company has a book value of $3.50 per share and the stock has a dividend yield of 7.60%. The stock could be a good pick at the book value.
