AFT Pharmaceuticals - Operating profitability achieved

AFT Pharmaceuticals recently reported its FY19 results; the highlights were improving margins, as well as operating profitability for the year. Revenue grew 4.9% over 2018 while gross profit grew by 15.4% following the divestment of relatively low-margin hospital products in New Zealand and Australia. Lower SG&A and R&D spending allowed the company to report an operating profit of NZ$6.2m and the company is currently targeting an operating profit of between NZ$9m and NZ$12m for FY20.

AFT Pharmaceuticals - Softer H1 on one-offs; recovery expected in H2

AFT Pharmaceuticals reported H125 revenues of NZ$86.7m, a 3.7% y-o-y increase, albeit lower than expected due to one-off factors such as inventory rationalisation by certain international customers and a prolonged doctors’ strike in South Korea (combined sales of NZ$10m vs NZ$18.2m in H124). These factors, along with continued R&D and marketing efforts, weighed on profits, with AFT reporting an operating loss of NZ$1.8m in H125 (profit of NZ$3.3m in H124). The strong domestic Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) market performance provided a positive offset, with 17.4% y-o-y revenue growth to NZ$76...

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
