Jeff... in products like this and being able to manufacture them cost affectively, at some point they will reap the benefits from all their investment.

Anyway you've made your profit best move on to something you feel has greater growth prospects....

At least the directors think it worth investing in and they should know the real potential in years to come, LED market is tiny and has years to go before it becomes $15 billion a year industry.

The part of "significant growth" I don't get is the missing word "profitable" in the middle. Growth in revenues is pointless if it isn't profitable.

What is it that they are "investing" in, beeezzz?

KM...I know, just looking for a reason not to invest...unlike DIA who are investing and if increasing revenue from £131m to £160m in what are tough trading condition is not good performance then I don't know what is, companies are not falling over themselves to part with their cash piles uncertainty still remains, great job DIA;

I'd be concerned with their very aggressive accounting policies as mentioned above. £300k of pension payments not expensed through the P&L!!!!!!!

Well Amazon has never made a profit yet investors are still piling in, I don't think any of you understand manufacturing and setting up production plants not only takes money and time... If they anticipate greater demand for their LED lighting then they have to meet that demand or somebody else gets the business.

As the CEO said.....

"The adoption of LED lighting in the industrial and hazardous markets is still at an early stage and the opportunity for growth remains significant. We continue to see strong demand for our LED lighting and the board remains confident in the future prospects of the group," said Dialight Chief Executive Richard Stuckes

Quite happy to hold....long term these have huge potential.

Agree with some of the comments above. In addition they also capitalised £3.5m in development costs and amortised £2.3m in the cashflow statement, thereby boosting profit by £1.2m. £300k of pension costs also haven't been expensed through the P&L account.

The headline numbers are in-line, but the accounts have been adjusted quite a bit, which I'm not happy with. The outlook statement also doesn't fill me with confidence, and I can't justify buying the stock based on the current PER.

I, too, agree with Pug. As I've written before, my concern is that an apparently profitable company is burning so much cash. They put this down to increases in working capital due to growth but, besides the stock w/o, every year they seem to spend their cash on 'capitalised development costs' (which seems to be a recurring cost to keep their products ahead of the competition) so they are effectively paying a div out of borrowings. In a very short space of time they have moved from a net cash surplus of around £15m to net debt and as they've only drawn £7.6m of a £25m facility, it looks as if they expect that to continue. The figures look OK on the surface, but where's the cash?

Well the market clearly liked it!
I was waiting on these results but I must admit I am rather less enamoured than Mr. Market.
I felt it was a reasonably solid statement but would like to see more improvements in cash generation and I agree with Pug....obsolete stock should be treated as a trading expense it is not an exceptional item.

Results out:



Both eps and dps below refs consensus of 38.4p and 15.3p

PLUS what i do not like are "The Board concluded that a strict ageing over-ride should be added in addition to the existing usage formula. As a result the Group incurred a one-off charge of £2.8m. As the nature of this charge is non-recurring it has been treated as a non-underlying expense."

This seems to me to be playing fast and loose with the figures - Depreciation of stock is (imo) a trading expense and not a write off to capital.

However has been picked up in the detailed consolidated income statement which gives true eps of 29.2 (diluted) My worry here is could this sort of level of obsolete stock be an on going event ?

Forward looking statement full of hope with no specifics -

It will be interesting to see how the market treats - Possibility of a relief rally as not as bad as expected ?? However of stock write down is taken into account (as it should be) then worse than expected. (imo dyor etc)

Am also tempted at this level, but I note that EPS for 2015 is expected to increase to 45.7. This equates to a 25%+ increase on EPS they are likely to have achieved for 2014 Y/E. The PEG ratio of 0.63 also looks attractive, but am just unsure whether the EPS forecast for 2015 is realistic.

On balance I think I'll wait for the FY figures and have a closer look at the outlook statement.

I must say, I'm sorely tempted at this level. My only reservation remains the concern about cashburn - they turned £15m net cash into 4.2m net debt in 22 months. Would like to see them go cash positive.

They need to get a new CEO in and steady the ship.
Having said that the first task of any new chief exec is to get all potential skeletons out of the closet, I have no idea whether they have any but the share price risk is to the downside for the next 3 months or so....unless their next update is unremittingly upbeat!
I have this on my monitor but wont take any action until I see the next set of results.

Chart breaking down again, 400p next target IMHO.
