Value Investing “We want the business to be one (a) that we can understand; (b) with favorable long-term prospects; (c) operated by honest and competent people; and (d) available at a very attractive price."

Valuing A Business “The critical investment factor is determining the intrinsic value of a business and paying a fair or
bargain price.”
- Warren Buffett
Circle of Competence “If we have a strength, it is in
recognizing when we are operating well within our circle of
competence and when we are approaching the perimeter.”
- Warren Buffett
Moats Low Cost Producer Switching Costs
Economies of Scale Intangibles Regulatory
IP Network Effects
Mr. Market Stock prices are quotes from an
emotionally unstable business partner.
Use or ignore them as you see fit.
Margin of Safety
“Confronted with a like challenge to distill the secret of sound investment into three words, we
venture the motto, MARGIN OF SAFETY.”
- Ben Graham
Concentrated Ideas
“Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what
they are doing.”
- Warren Buffett
Neutral Tandem (TNDM) Warning: May not be in your circle of
competence!
Currently one of the biggest values in Tarpon and…
A Distinguished Alum
“Mr. Wren joined us in February 2006 and has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director since that time….holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from
the New Jersey Institute of Technology and an M.S. in Management from Stanford University, which he attended as a Sloan Fellow.”
CEO Rian J. Wren:
Is This Rational?
*Would your car’s value change so much?*
Worthy of a Look?
Moat?
Cheap?
Margin of Safety?
Inside my
circle!
At a high level… “Provides tandem interconnection services to competitive carriers”
Solve two problems: 1 – No direct connect 2 – Neutral solution
Ignoring new potentially large business
Key Point About Risks Risks unequivocally exist in TNDM…
…but important to distinguish between Volatility in stock price and business risk…
…and my point is that none are large or imminent enough to explain why shares are so cheap.
Simple DCF
Sign of Competitive Advantage
Q: Is this a great business?
Network Effect
TNDM Adjusted P/E Average long-term P/E = 15
Neutral Tandem P/E: 13 Market Cap = $530M
TTM Earnings = $41M $161M in cash (no debt) or $4.75 per share
Cash-adjusted P/E is 9
Earnings Yield of 11% is Too Cheap
Data as of 2.17.10
TNDM is 7.5% of Tarpon
Bottom Line “You need to worry about where the
company and the stock will be in three to five years. If you can buy something today
with little chance of permanent impairment and a high likelihood that you'll
double your money over the next five years, you should go ahead and do it.”
- Seth Klarman
