Posted at 04/3/2008 10:29 by knowing More sector newsROUNDUP Michael Page FY profit up 52 pct; sees further expansion but shares fall LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Michael Page International PLC posted a 52 pct increase in full-year profit helped by a continued shortage of candidates, and said it is well positioned and more resilient to economic cycles, which will ensure future growth. Evolution Securities analyst Hector Forsythe previously said the driving force for future growth will be supply constraints in specialist recruitment niches, together with regulatory and legislative changes in European markets. The company said today these key drivers include a deregulation of the labour markets, demographic changes, an increased global shortage of qualified professionals, increasing job mobility and a greater awareness and acceptance for companies to use specialist recruitment services. Michael Page also gave investors what they were looking for by outlining its growth strategy for the future, saying it wants to continue with expansion, including moving into Austria, New Zealand and Turkey. The company is also planning to open countless new offices including three in the Americas, seven across Europe and two new offices in China. Finally, Michael Page posted a 52 pct increase in pretax profit and said it was seeing similar year-on-year increases in activity levels in all regions since the start of the current year, with the exception of certain sectors related to the banking market. But shares fell despite the positive results. At 09.45 am, Michael Page shares were down 2.2 pct or 6 pence to 271.75 pence. Landsbanki analyst Ian Jermin said that "however good the results for 2007, the share price is reflecting continued concern about the US economy and the possibility of contagion in the UK and broader global economy". Investors got spooked by the slowdown in Michael Page's Finance division and Financial Services sector. Deutsche Bank said it cannot lose the feeling that a wider slowdown is coming despite the results being in line. Chief executive Steve Ingham told reporters during a conference call that Michael Page is experiencing two issues: a self-inflicted problem within Finance and the credit crunch impact on Financial Services. Ingham said that within the UK, Michael Page Finance produced a mixed performance with good growth in the regions being held back by below expectation growth in London and the South East. But the CEO added that the slowdown in Finance was of the company's own making and is being remedied by changes to the management structure of these businesses, which should produce an improved performance in 2008. The company said that its Financial Services had a very good first half of the year but that the "credit crunch" in the latter half of 2007 has impacted certain parts of the banking market causing the growth rate to slow, being flat year-on-year in the fourth quarter. The offices that are mainly impacted include those in London, Tokyo and Manhattan. Deutsche Bank analysts also said that sectors such as Legal and HR, which have some exposure to banking, are also seeing a slowdown. Merrill Lynch analyst Andrew Ripper pointed out that banking makes up about 7 pct of the group's net fees. He added, however, that the group is continuing to add headcount, which could reach 6,000 by the end of 2008 if the majority of markets remain favourable. Michael Page reported good full-year results today with pretax profit reaching 147.4 mln stg from 97 mln in the year before period, on a 28 pct rise in revenue to 831.6 mln. In the UK, which now only makes up 39 pct of gross profit, Michael Page recorded a gross profit increase of 19.4 pct to 186 mln stg. The company said it invested heavily during the year, increasing headcount by 17 pct to 1,799 and opening new offices. Michael Page's EMEA region, which makes up 41 pct of gross profit, saw it rising 55 pct while the Americas recorded an increase of 79 pct. The company said its much more diversified today than in any previous downturn and hence is confident for growth in the future. Michael Page shares already lost half their value on fears that the credit crunch will spread into the wider economy and affect hiring trends. They closed Monday at 277 pence valuing the company at 896 mln stg. |

Posted at 23/1/2008 14:32 by andrbea I've emailed the company to ask if they have any plans to update the market (SP at an all time low..) & to reassure investors...let's see if they step into the breach... |
Posted at 13/11/2007 17:45 by chancer6 IMO price has bottomed out today with the heaving buying has started. Only last week Allianz SE had increased their stake to 23% by buying 26 million shares at 3.41p. They have been increasing their stake throughout the year albeit at a more rapid pace over the last couple of months. A takeover by them can't be ruled out? Some chunky buys today: 500K at 2.39p 500K at 2.39p - this buy trade went through on PLUS 500K at 2.55p 250K at 2.50p I doubt the above were retail investors taking a punt. Others like the 100K and 200K buys are likely to be them. |
