Somebody is keen 15% holding. What is it they see others don`t?

[spaceparallax] 18/11/2011 09:08

A positive move by the Director

[jacobjohn7] 14/11/2011 11:39

thanks puffin.

[puffintickler] 11/11/2011 13:21

My view on PDC you mean?

Not sure now. I initially invested on back of low share price vs big unused capacity at Manchester hub, but the recession seems to have put paid to any ideas of a rapid gain.

Have kept because at least they pay a divi so understand that they need to make money. No great hopes but I think it should be a positive risk/reward play in time.

[jacobjohn7] 11/11/2011 12:45

yeah thanks, mis-read it.. whats your take on this one puffin? thanks

[puffintickler] 09/11/2011 13:11

[jacobjohn7] 09/11/2011 10:08

StockMarketWire.com - Printing.com has seen Group turnover increase by 51.1% to £10.73m for the first half (2010: 7.01m), primarily reflecting the Company's acquisition of Media Facility Group BV (MFG) in November 2010 (turnover of £3.4m in the period). The company also reported strong trading across Netherlands and Belgium.

EBITDA before non-recurring costs progressed from £1.39m to £1.61m an increase of 15.8%. However, principally as a result of increased depreciation and amortisation arising from software development and the acquisition of MFG, Pre Tax Profit before non-recurring costs decreased to £0.62m (2010: £0.71m) a fall of 12.7%.

Non-recurring costs incurred during the interim period, relating to the integration and reporting alignment of MFG, totalled £0.12m (2010: £0.09m) reducing Pre Tax Profit to £0.50m (2010: £0.62m).

At 30 September 2011, the Company had cash-in-hand of £0.96m (2010: £1.61m). Cash generated by operating activities was £0.95m (2010: £1.15m).

A Final Dividend of £0.99m was paid in the period (2010: £0.93m). During the period working capital increased by £0.51m (2010: £0.11m) and capital expenditure was £0.90m (2010: £0.44m), the majority reflecting the ongoing investment in the Company's software that underpins the new developments. Net funds at the close of the period were £0.65m (2010: £1.08m).

The Directors are declaring an Interim Dividend of 1.05p per share (2010: 1.05p) to be paid on 9 December 2011 to shareholders on the register at 18 November 2011.





At 8:34am: (LON:PDC) Printing.com share price was 0p at 30.5p

Good to see that turnover is solid, albeit yielding a reduced EPS.

[dd776] 07/11/2011 09:17

most u can buy 1000, poor to trade, second half always better

[tyranosaurus] 07/11/2011 08:34

Says if trading doesn`t improve then final dividemd may be reduced.

[spaceparallax] 27/10/2011 15:03

Hmm, certainly looks like testing the support

[dd776] 27/10/2011 11:37

the drift is on

[pugugly] 08/10/2011 11:24

Hardman - Very much steady as she goes but does not add much to the trading statement - No change seen to dividend - So (imo) an income play with potentially downside capital risk, if as I suspect print andvertising and promotional business migrates to electronic formats PLUS also reduction in budgets as a result of the worst ecomomic head winds for the last 40+ years ?

I have a horrible feeling that cw2000's price target? of 24p may be in the right area.

Declaration I used to hold but sold in Feb 08.

[dd776] 08/10/2011 05:11

hardman and co Oct
Market conditions remain competitive but a major attribute of the business is its flexibility, with strong levels of R&D and a strong web-based customer design template offering. Newer offerings such as BrandDemand and Flyerzone are successfully being progressively rolled out, boding well for future growth. .UKX rebased to PDC
Trading in the significant Netherlands, French and Belgian operations is decent (the trading update of 5th October describes it as "robust") whilst the UK and Ireland have still to show signs of recovery with trading remaining flat to slightly down, as discussed in July.
The company's operations remain highly cash generative, particularly as the new investment is in people (hence written off as incurred to revenue). Depreciation is expected to remain well ahead of capital expenditure for some years – as a result of the modern nature of the physical printing assets and the software/people nature of the business. Cash generated from operations in the year to March 2011 (as reported on 6th June) equalled £4.16m (£3.42m). Free cash flow (after all outflows bar dividends and acquisitions) totalled £2.38m (£1.75m), equating to 5.2p per share.
We anticipate results on 7th November.

[cw2000] 05/10/2011 21:10

The last time I added some of these was a couple of years back at 24p.
If we drift to this level again, I would have another look.
Let's see what Nov 7th brings.

[puffintickler] 05/10/2011 13:28

The recent AGM statement was a profit warning, this statement does not make things better or worse but does underline the increasing difference between mature uk and developing europe. Unfortunately 80% of sales are in uk but this does seem to be rapidly rebalancing.

No intention to sell, still very cash generative which is what is wanted in the current climate.

[spaceparallax] 05/10/2011 09:14

TS as positive as can be expected but with some bright spots.

[dd776] 05/10/2011 07:14

another leak before news

PRE CLOSE STATEMENT

Post the last market update, overall sales volumes remain in line with expectations. However, there is evidence of polarized performance across territories. Trading in the Netherlands, France and Belgium is robust, whereas trading across the Group's established UK market softened further. The London and South East region, which had previously exhibited growth, also contracted.

BrandDemand (the Group's online system facilitating other multi-site clients to order branded printing online) continues to show month-on-month progress. The service is now operational in France and on the cusp of launching in the Netherlands.

Flyerzone.co.uk has recently been established, following the successful launch of Flyerzone.fr in France. Trading volumes in both are currently at modest levels.

The Company intends to announce its Interim Results for the six month period to 30 September on Monday 7 November 2011

AS EXPECTED REALY SOME POSITIVES, NOT REALY A PROFIT WARNING ?
