Update: Robust FY14, headwinds at ANSS

Augean’s pre-close trading statement confirmed that FY14 results (24 March) are expected to show a robust set of numbers and we expect Augean to deliver further improvements to ROCE. However, with the recent decline of oil prices, Augean outlined a potential risk to its Augean North Sea Services (ANSS) business if oil prices remain at current levels or fall further. We have conservatively updated our earnings forecast and valuation to reflect this risk and highlight that the current share price is trading at the bottom end of our 47-71p/share range.
