Finals on Tuesday. Looking for around T/O of £127m, PBT £4.2m and EPS of 5p. That's a big profit turnaround on last year. Return to dividend a bonus.

New Edison report out today with summary:
In a year of further progress, a UK profit turnaround is likely to catch the eye although, in our view, international development is equally important.
WYG has created strong positions in its overseas markets and is taking steps to
enhance its presence across its regional structure. This strategy improves earnings quality and offers structural growth opportunities. The company's rating is now more in line with larger UK quoted peers but a faster, high-quality earnings growth profile would warrant a premium

And this on valuation:
WYG's share price is almost 50% higher than a year ago, representing relative
outperformance of c40%. The P/E for the year just closed is 21.2x and16.4x for FY15. EV/EBITDA on the same basis is 11.1x and 9.6x respectively. For FY16, management's own aspirations are above our projections and would bring the rating down sharply on this basis. If we deducted share-based payment charges
in line with larger quoted peers, WYG would be valued at a comparable level to these companies.

Can anyone please enlighten me; what was the PBT forecast? And what is the likely PBT now it is expected to be ahead of expectations? Thanks

[18bt] 27/3/2014 07:16

Fantastic trading update - well ahead of expectations and a small dividend expected.

Have joined the party here with a small buy. Market forecasts don't look too strained and like the infrstructure play as well as tangental exposure to increased UK housebuilding.

Bit of director buying since the Interims.

Over 50% of the people who used to work at SBA left Friday & opened the doors of their new, rival, venture this Monday.

No mention of this from WYG is very naughty. A whole, formerly profitable, division has been effectively gutted (leaving behind only those they didn't want or didn't see as offering any worthwhile contribution) & WYG have chosen to try to keep it quiet from investors.

Wonder if the bankers have been kept informed?
