In case it slipped people's radar... AAP signed a 'Licensing Agreement' with Starbucks Coffee Company (UK) Ltd to open a number of coffee stores in various UK airports through a structured roll-out programme over the next few years."

The first store is to open at Jersey Airport in October 2007.

Every little helps I suppose.

What on earth is occurring? AAP just doesn't do this.

No spread at 80p now none at 78p.

eithin,
The drop in divi was flagged up in the last results and commented on above.

I agree with you; I don't like it either. This has traditionally been a low-growth company which has largely been supported by its high divi yield. Unless it can start to generate some growth, what's to support it? Peter Williams' review of the business has really just come up with more of the same - try to drive margins in the very competitive airline catering side and go for the higher margin retail growth in regional and overseas airport retailing. My personal opinion is that they're flogging a dead horse with airline catering and a bold approach would have been to split the business in two and concentrate on retailing (which is also Williams' core skill). Or maybe someone could be tempted to have a pop at it and put us all out of our misery (come on, Private Equity, where are you when we need you?!)

Regards, Ian

There have been bid rumours about AAP for years, they never came to anything. If it happens, all to the good, but I'm not holding my breath.

edjgee,

I had an exchange of correspondence about this with CEO Peter Williams because most people, like yourself, did not pick up from the Interims that a cut in the divi has been flagged up.

("The Board has reviewed its future dividend policy. Whilst it is intended to
retain flexibility regarding future events, the Board recognises the need to
balance dividend payments with medium-term free cash flow generation and to
maintain a level of dividend cover consistent with a progressive dividend
policy. It is therefore the Board's intention that the Group will maintain a
dividend cover of not less than 2 times pre-exceptional earnings; this policy
will apply from, and including, the year ending 31 January 2007.")

Last year's divi was 4.2p/share. Earnings per share were 5.74p. If they applied their 2xcover formula, that would result in a substantial cut. It may be the right thing for the company to do but I was not happy with the way they tried to sneak it out without anyone noticing and it may bite them on the bum when they announce their 2006/7 results and people understand what is actually going on.

Regards, Ian

Overal AAP seems to be lumbered with the worst luck going. Most companies cut their divis when share price gets hit like theirs. This one maintained it! Perhaps bodes well for the future but their sector seems not to attract too many takeover bids, maybe contracts too fluid to make them valuable to a predator. Probablyu 80-85 is real value of AAP. Enjoy the new year. AAP may help.
