Update: Trading in companion animals is spot on

Animalcare continues to perform very much as expected, with the FY15 trading update showing a 5.1% rise in group revenues to £13.54m. This was driven by the 8.8% increase in Licensed Veterinary Medicines to £8.58m, with Companion Animal Identification down 4.5% to £2.31m and Animal Welfare up 2.6% to £2.65m. Underlying operating profit is expected to be at least £3.0m, slightly higher than our forecast. Cash generation remains strong, higher than expected, with cash of £5.78m at June 2015. Rolling forward our DCF model and adjusting for the higher net cash sees our valuation rise from £41.9m (201p a share) to £48.7m (234p a share).
