Pretty amazing that the Royal Wedding stuff will only make up 1% of total revenuses this year, that means undelying existing lines are up 14% if sales are currently up 15%.

Unless most of the 1% is achieved in the period prior to the wedding in which case it could account for the majority of the 15% yoy increase in the year to date. Either way, like you, I am surprised that it is only 1%.

Cracking performance - what a class act :-)

Nice final divi of near 13p+, total divi nearly 18p (3.5%)

Current sales up 15% - that's the stunner - broker forecasts are for just a 1% rise. With the huge operational gearing here that should mean profits way ahead of forecasts 38p if that's maintained.

I also note from previous threads regarding Phil200 comments on interest payments. I agree with CR that it relates to the Company increasing working capital as it ramps up production for the xmas period. I fully expect there to be a further spike in working capital during the first quarter of 2011 as the company ramps up production for the Royal Wedding in April.

I really take comfort from the fact that the company has refinanced its banking facilities and that going forward financing costs will reduce. Note (in the accounts for Y/E dec 2009) the company had announced that it had obtained secured bank fiancing from Burdale. Burdale is the asset bank financing arm of Bank of Ireland, and although great supporters of British industry, their funding charges are extremely high and of course part secured on the fixed assets (property/machinery) of the Company plus other current assets (stocks and trade debtors).Now in the interim statement for half year ended 30th Jun 2010, the company has announced that it has refinanced its banking facilities with Lloyds. Although they have taken an exceptional charge (early redemption fee on the bank facilities - see Note 3 of interims), the margin they pay on the facilities will be less onerous, and i'm thinking that the new facilities are not secured against the fixed assets of the company. Cant be 100% sure of that until i see the more detailed figures for the y/e 31st December 2010.

As ever though DYOR.

Cheers re the Mail Soulboy1

Probabably better entry points as you say, it's on a spike and up against the resistance line on the chart.



I think I'd wait for a pull back if I were adding or buying here myself too. If the spread wasn't so large I'd probably trim a few here and try to get them back cheaper but it just isn't worth it for the cost and the potential gain imo.

Results are late March - if these are off a bit come mid Feb that might be a good time to buy imo.

Hi CR and others. Been researching this and tracking PMP for a few weeks, but been caught out by the sudden surge.....so gonna hold off for now and wait for a pull back. The share is being tipped by the World and his brother at the moment........noticed that its been tipped by the Mail on Sunday as well. Well done to current holders.

Yep, a few buyers today - probably tipped in IC. Think I'd wait for a decent pull back at this level, tho as cheap it's up vertical and on the resistance line going up - probably a better opportunity to add in the next few weeks I suspect after a rise like this.

Ta - tipped as a buy in the Times apparently:
From Sharecast:

Ceramics group Portmeirion still trades at a discount to other luxury brands, and with £5.5m of cash on the balance sheet the company is firing up the kiln for more growth. Buy, says the Times

Yep, looked at it again and sales should beat 2012 forecasts. with the operational gearing here that should mean big hikes to next years eps forecasts imo.

Been laid up with a kidney infection this am so only just read this t/s - if sales in H2 are up 20% oln last year thwn sales will be £5m over forecast imo - should be about £55m - that's more than the forecasts for 2 years out! Reckon earnings will be miles ahead imo

Thanks CR - its a good point. One of the things I look for in companies reporting net cash balances is how much interest they are paying. Ideally they should be receiving interest. In the latest interim report, the interest had come right down to £130k.

probably run an overdraft facility and short term, say coming up to Christmas, they may need a lot of working capital and borrowings rise along with interest charges. By the results those borrowing probably fall and balance sheet looks better - but they still get the interest charge - I guess, just my guess.

Can someone point me in the right direction please :

Note 11 of the 2009 annual report shows £412k interest paid.
Note 21 shows borrowings of £1,047k.

Why has so much interest has been paid ? To me it seems totally out of step with the stated borrowings.

Its not the pension as note 11 shows the pension costs separately.

A month ahead of myself I think early Jan the normal time for their trading statement as you say - wishing my life away here waiting for it.

Been plenty of buying but all the buys have been met with larger sells over the past month or so so looks like a moderate size seller out there who has stymied these.

Hi CR

Are you going by last year (15 Jan) or is there other information to suggest we might hear something sooner?

best
