Grifols S.A. (GRFS) Investigation:
“We are investigating the propriety of Grifols’ financial reporting of its debt and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
On Jan. 9, 2024, Gotham City Research published a report entitled “Grifols S.A.: Scranton and the Undisclosed Debts.”
The activist short seller concluded that: (1) “GRF manipulates reported debt & EBITDA to artificially reduce reported leverage to 6x which we believe is closer to 10x-13x[;]” (2) “[b]oth GRF and Scranton Enterprises (a Grifols family vehicle) fully consolidate BPC + Haema onto their financial statements[]” and “[t]his treatment is materially deceptive[;]” (3) “[s]hould our estimate of the Grifols’ true leverage be correct, GRF will face notably higher financing costs[;]” and (4) “[c]onsequently, we believe shares are uninvestable, likely zero.”
In response to Gotham’s accusations, the price of Grifols shares fell over 34% during intraday trading on Jan. 9, 2024.
