Revenue up 10.5% and PBT up 6.1%.From memory i think thats the last of the enhanced dividend increases they flagged up a couple of years ago.That would make a return in dividends of around 40p since 2010.

Impressive growth in the laundry business with more acquisitions to come.Confident forward statements.

Excellent results and a 20% divi increase, for sure any sell off I’ll add big time.

Locked and loaded.

Come on PHTM push up over the £1.89 .. you've bashed your head on it a few times Now !! or are we all waiting for results next week

Some chunky buys at the close

[ny boy] 29/11/2017 09:09

Gathering traction on this breakout, hope to see 200p + by year end

I'm guessing with an 11% increase in turnover that will probably equate to circa 16% profits uplift. What will be very interesting is to see what happens over the next 12 months with Ireland and the U.K. On the passport situation. Good luck to all patient shareholders.

Some very odd activity looking at the trades, very small buys and sells.

[tdog1975] 28/11/2017 14:04

Is this it? Come on PM, break out

[swiftascent] 28/11/2017 14:03

Whoa. Going to have to sit down. It's moved more than a penny

[firtashia] 28/11/2017 13:37

Does this break out remind any other investors of a dose of constipation, lol

[ny boy] 23/11/2017 09:15

Yes a good place to park cash, been in since 148p let’s see where we go when the interims come out Monday 11 December

Generally, PHTM is a slow and steady performer, nothing too exciting, wait for a special dividend every few years and a leisurely increase in the share price

[ny boy] 20/11/2017 13:42

On Premium members toplists, PHTM is on the 5 days of constant gainers list

An improving situation underway I feel, albeit rather slowly.

[ny boy] 20/11/2017 12:11

Hard work this one but eventually a strong break out rally, need plenty of patience. The divi helps to hold these.

Notice of interim results

Photo-Me International plc (PHTM.L), the instant-service equipment group, intends to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31st October 2017 on Monday 11th December 2017.

I'm sure they'll have worked out beforehand that the savings from having no staff salaries, and those staff replaced with booths etc, plus the possibility of selling space back to Asda etc would make the deal worth doing. Plus it's the initiation of an online service for PHTM as well, if I'm not wrong.

[swiftascent] 15/11/2017 12:11

Makes me wonder if part of the plan was to obtain better located retail floor space

[snadgey] 15/11/2017 11:39

Same here at our local ASDA, previous counter space redundant, replaced by 2 Speedlab kiosks. At least this time one was actually in use!



Should soon be getting RNS for Notice of Interims. Was 15th Nov last year with results on 9th Dec.

[celeritas] 15/11/2017 09:35

steve, thats exactly what I saw. Maybe it was to take out the competition and only intends to keep open already profitable Asda photo depts. Problem being taking out the competition will benefit others.
A girl working near a photo booth said people come in, sit in the passport booth then proceed to use their own phone to take a photo. Apparently lighting and background was the aim.

Flag pattern on the chart.

ref #7622: I was under the impression that EU passports will be phased out only as old ones expire - no plans for wholesale issue of new UK passports.

[steve3sandal] 14/11/2017 17:21

I couldn't understand the benefit of buying the in house Asda processing facilities. I noticed ours had been closed recently. I couldn't understand that either. Two machines now stand as sentries where the counter was offering a limited range instant processing. The pricing has increased substantially compared to the next day service previously available. I rather think the photo processing market is on the way of the horse whip....beyond ID, schools, and weddings. A holder for future technologies.

[martindjzz] 14/11/2017 17:03

Snadgey, one big thing that will change is that we UK citizens will no longer have EU passports. Everybody will have to be issued with a UK passport hence the need for a lot of new photos.

[celeritas] 14/11/2017 14:30

I was talking to an ex photo centre worker in Asda the other day who is now by the way on check out for Asda.
It seems in the NE, phtm have close down a lot of the photo centres and left them with a passport machine and one or 2 Starck machines. How true this is or not but apparently phtm sold the space the centre was in back to Asda. Just wondered if this is right across the country.
