What more can u ask for ????

The Board is confident that our strategy to position the business to serve key growth markets continues to be effective.

Commenting on the 2015 results, Graeme Bissett, Chairman, said:

"The 21% increase in pre-tax profits represents the sixth consecutive year of profit growth for Macfarlane Group. We will continue to focus on opportunities in sectors with strong growth prospects, including internet retail, third party logistics and National Accounts and deliver high standards of service to all customers. We will also maintain our programme of acquiring good quality businesses to augment organic growth. This strategy has served all stakeholders in our business well in recent years and will continue to do so.

The positive trends seen in 2015 have been sustained in the early part of 2016 and Macfarlane Group has started the year well."

And I assure you they will be good.

The divi will be BOOSTED

I really like their online opeartion which is growing rapidly.

Enjoy the results all.

Nice little breakout before the results tomorrow.

[effortless cool] 22/2/2016 22:13

Well, hopefully I have been a bit pessimistic on costs. These have generally been trending up relative to revenue, but we may now start benefitting from economies of scale from the acquisitions.

[hastings] 22/2/2016 08:21

Personally hoping for slightly better than that, in line with Broker forecasts.

[effortless cool] 21/2/2016 22:37

My forecasts for the finals:

Revenue £167,241k
PTP £6,992k
Net debt £11,606k
EPS 4.57p
DPS 1.70p

Think the results will be very good.

Pension will be sorted at this rate and divi will be boosted.

Just waiting for a nice bolt on acquisition.

All the signs of a break out

And triggering some 'Stops' as well now presumably.

[hastings] 18/1/2016 12:27

Most likely a bit of profit taking on general market sentiment.Ironically, oil and commodity woes actually assisting the likes of MACF with raw material costs, which all helps underpin current prospects.I would expect another and hopefully sizeable acquisition this year.

[wet your knot] 18/1/2016 11:18

Anyone know any news on MACF? Wondered if the drop back was just due to some profit taking or anything out there I've not seen?

[hvs] 04/1/2016 17:45

That very good news.

[wet your knot] 04/1/2016 17:40

MACF do about 25% of sales in online packaging and there's been another big uplift in online sales again this Christmas, up 20%+ I believe??

[davemac3] 04/1/2016 17:30

when you see all the Christmas packaging that folks put out with their bins, you can imagine that it's been a bumper period for MACF.

[hvs] 04/1/2016 17:27

We is motoring nicely now.

I see a good acquisition coming soon.

[shauney2] 04/1/2016 15:52

Thats a 10 year high at least.

[shauney2] 24/12/2015 09:52

I noticed a couple of big negotiated trades yesterday but no idea why but great to see.

[wet your knot] 24/12/2015 09:47

Bit of a jump today, anyone know why?

[wet your knot] 17/12/2015 22:25

Some re-structuring been going on also. Looks like a good thing as long as it hasn't been affecting service.

Added more here today - should be a good packaging Xmas with online retailers

[wet your knot] 30/11/2015 12:08

Hopefully starting a positive move. MACF's revenue is (something like) over 20% accounted for by sales into online retail so should be another strong period for them.

[effortless cool] 23/11/2015 11:39

Nice write up, thanks.

[hastings] 23/11/2015 10:00

Following last week's update, a few thoughts that may be of interest.

[effortless cool] 17/11/2015 13:17
