19 February 2015 -Pre-tax profit for the current financial year is now set to be slightly below the bottom end of current market estimates. Since the last market update, trading has been tough at Printing.com. The weakening of the Euro is also reducing Sterling receipts from Euro Zone operations. Nevertheless, the new initiatives are performing as hoped. Nettl, the group's new franchise formula, should have 25 studio locations. At MarqetSpace, the group's new trade division, the objective was to reach an annualised monthly run rate of £1m, which is in sight. Another trading update is due on 7 April but the shares offer good fundamental value at the current share price and those with patience should BUY.City confidential.

Yes, I'm interested but they seem to be running uphill to standstill! Technological change will decimate printing so it's all about the new business and whether this is any good. To be fair, management here have done a fantastic job. It's certainly one to keep on watch, but too risky at present for me.

The weakening of the euro against sterling also had an effect, reducing the company’s sterling receipts from Eurozone operations.

As a result, the board anticipates pre-tax profit for the current financial year being slightly below management expectations, albeit above that of last year, and accordingly slightly below the bottom end of current market estimates of £900,000 to £1m.

Last year the company posted a pre-tax profit of £755,000 and the market expectation was £900,000.

“This year I think we’re going to come somewhere around the middle of this range so we’re ahead of last year from a financial perspective,” said Rafferty.

“Earnings will have gone up so we would argue that is a good thing because my whole aim was to innovate and change the company, keeping the group debt free and generating cash, which is what we’re continuing to do.”

I've sold up, just not confident that there are clear signs of growth here. Good luck to holders though, it's not exactly expensive (!) so prob not much downside.

[purplerain2] 19/2/2015 10:54

There the answer 25 Nettl store. Yes struggle but still ahead of last year. Divi be covered. Economy picked up but not for this company. Thought they might have given information on the digital printing investment they made nov/dec.

[hydrus] 19/2/2015 09:38

Hmm just feels like they continue to struggle to get any momentum.

[dd776] 17/2/2015 03:46

Nice pictures of the London studio

[dd776] 16/2/2015 12:44

OK guys so quiet, thought I would ask how many Nettl store's there would be at year end. Anyone? And if u now of any new ones?

[dangersimpson2] 02/2/2015 09:51

doubt mm's have anything to do with it, just someone selling 36k below the bid @16.3p, they run a neutral book on small cap shares so you have a persistent seller and no buyers the price will go down, doesn't need anything else.

[purplerain2] 02/2/2015 09:51

More likely start of profit warnings, again. Hope not. But no news is not always good news. Back to sitting on my hands

[dd776] 29/1/2015 15:38

Market makers pushed it down to get trades before the good progress news next week. Look the bounce

[hydrus] 26/1/2015 11:26

Almost a 10% dividend

[hydrus] 26/1/2015 11:25

Hmmm not a good day. Does seem to be on small volume though

[dd776] 22/1/2015 13:44

Hi update early next month. Me thinks

[hydrus] 17/1/2015 10:23

Might well be a trading statement early next week if last year is anything to go by.

The firm is also poised to invest in additional digital printing firepower for its Manchester print hub, which currently runs a relatively small amount of digital kit.

[hydrus] 10/11/2014 16:23

Not much stock about I guess.

[puffintickler] 10/11/2014 15:14

Yes, top line has taken a hit but bottom line is improved as cost of sales is down even more. Difficult to see where this will pan out but they are heading the right direction. I am sticking with it.

[hydrus] 10/11/2014 12:31

I added this morning, clearly others agree that this was a pretty positive statement. Market makers got it wrong first thing.

[hydrus] 10/11/2014 08:03

Surprised this has been marked down. I get that revenues have decreased but cash and profits up and the company seems more bullish than its been for a while about prospects.

[dd776] 05/11/2014 14:51

Half pence divi on Monday.What do you think.Merry Christmas.
