The market likes it anyway.

Ok so they declare a profit of £3.3m

However that is before :

Other comprehensive expense for the period £ (31.8) m

Leaving a transfer to Retained LOSS £ (28.5) m

Though strangely that shows up as £ (28.3) m on the balance sheet - roundings ?

So they are telling us they made a profit - but increased the balance sheet losses by over £28m
I'm sure it meets the audit requirements etc .... but really ?
Declassifying pension losses as "other comprehensive expense" and saying you made a profit
does that really give the reader a better understanding ?

Ok so just read the announcements and for once it seems they have actually been doing something.

Not withstanding its taken years to refinance the debt.

So selling off 51% of a JV that generates 9% of sales and £0.9m adjusted EBITDA for £16m cash seems like a high price paid.
Looks like they are going to giggle the numbers and create some goodwill to justify the "taxable gain of £29m"

Then they have £4.5m of actual transaction and other costs to pay.
I wonder how much they are supposed to contribute to the JV

But getting rid of a large slug of expensive debt and reducing the still expensive rate on the rest is a good thing.

Now lets see how much they have lost in the last full year when the numbers arrive tomorrow and will they make a trading profit at all in the future ?
