Trading Update

The board of directors of Northern Bear plc (the "Board") is pleased to provide an update on its trading for the year ended 31 March 2018 ("FY2018").

Trading

The Group's continuing operations have continued to trade strongly and ahead of management expectations over the second half of the financial year, despite the severe winter weather, particularly during the first three months of 2018. There has also been a positive contribution to results from H Peel & Sons Limited ("H Peel") following its acquisition on 25 July 2017.

The Board is delighted to announce that the unaudited preliminary results will show both revenue and operating profit for continuing operations for FY2018, both before and after the impact of transaction costs and amortisation of acquired intangibles associated with the H Peel acquisition, ahead of prior year results.

The Group continues to hold a high level of committed orders which provides optimism for another good set of results in the year ending 31 March 2019.

Dividend

In view of the continued strong performance of the Group, the Board is pleased to announce that it is planning to continue with a progressive dividend policy in respect of the year ended 31 March 2018 (FY2017: 2.5p per share) subject to Shareholder approval.

Steve Roberts, Executive Chairman of Northern Bear, commented:

"As a Board, we are again delighted to be reporting another strong performance for the Group in the year ended 31 March 2018.

"I am pleased to report that H Peel has made a positive contribution to results following its acquisition last year and is trading in line with our expectations. We continue to believe that H Peel will be a real asset to the Group.

"Our revolving and overdraft bank facilities provide us with the resource to continue with our progressive dividend policy whilst having the financial wherewithal to look at similar acquisitions without the need to raise new equity.

I am surprised that there has been no trading statement re the weather impact.

But bear in mind the response that many of us received when asking about any Carillion exposure. It was along the lines of if there is anything material we will report it promptly and we are aware of our responsibilities to do so.

I just hope the same applies with the weather!

I'm happy to buy down here, it's all a gamble, but this policy as served me well with NTBR in the past.

Fair enough fozzie :)

Hold quite a few stocks & try not to be too exposed (so to speak), so happy to hold for the update.

I have sold out completely over the last few weeks. The weather especially up North has been dreadful up until the last 3 weeks and I believe has to have caused delays and stoppages. I will park the cash and will come back in should statements warrant it. Protection of capital a must for me.

Adverse weather always a risk here & more than reflected in the lowly rating imv.

With adj eps of 7p in H1 alone & a high level of committed orders reported in February, I'm happy to take a chance.

Very frustrating to see this drifting lower once again.

Strong support around 70p though, with a trading update early June last two years, so next week maybe?

Hopefully a week or so of "exceptional" weather hasn't derailed the momentum & we can at last see the share price head back up towards the recent highs.

They said the Board will update shareholders further following the Group's financial year end. Not much going on and still waiting to hear more at the next trading update.

Yes I read that on the BBC too. I think memories are short. The weather wasn't that bad for a whole month. A week seems more like it. Maybe 10 days but a month is our usual journalism trying to create a story.

Taylor Wimpey state they have lost nearly a month of building work due to bad weather in Feb and March. The Times today.

I think it highly unlikely they'd have rushed out a TU based on a month's bad weather. It would hardly give them much credibility.

They always update in June and I'm sure they will again and for the period they'll be reporting on, there WAS exceptionally bad weather. Whether it's going to prove to be material or not, who knows?

Suspect we would have had an update if weather had materially changed expectations re result. Though you can never be 100% on these things. Feels well overdue a run toward 100p.

I've done well here in the past - buying at 38p and selling at 87p.

I agree with the expecting value article and update but as eggbaconandbubble says; what does the bad weather throughout March and early April mean for a TU? I'm not overly worried about short-term blips like this obviously - but I would like to time my re-entry well.

Also, they were quite specific: "subject to there being no exceptional adverse weather conditions over the remainder of the winter period, we look forward to announcing another strong set of results for the full financial year."

And there were fairly exceptional weather conditions.

They always issue and update in June which, presumably, will be a little more lacklustre than the last due to the weather and, as you point out mathewawood, they never command a high rating anyway.

All in all then, it would seem more prudent to wait?

Arthur - Good cheap dividend payer imo.
Only reason I can think of not to buy is that it always seems to stay cheap even though EPS, debt etc all seem to improve over the years. Also it is a cyclical business.

I came across some research online you might be interested in. Its a bit old but still applies.

Good point I notice that was after the trading statement at the beginning of Feb. I would like to think that if it had a material impact on trading they would have told the market by now but you can never be sure.

I'm thinking of buying back in to these, I reckon they could be good for eps of 12p this year. I can't think of any reason why this should be a declining business.

I would like to see them conserve a bit of cash to strengthen the balance sheet a bit but they could easily afford a 3p dividend and still achieve this.

Can anyone give me a good reason why I shouldn't buy?

Well, last year's post-year update was not issued until 12th June. One would have thought they could have updated the market a great deal quicker than that.

From 2nd Feb announcement:-

"Despite poor weather in January 2018, and subject to there being no exceptional adverse weather conditions over the remainder of the winter period, we look forward to announcing another strong set of results for the full financial year. The Board will update shareholders further following the Group's financial year end."

Seems that options exercised, but no notification of shares being sold. Hopefully a small sign of confidence in results!
