Carclo - Wipac woes overshadow CTP improvement

Carclo’s FY19 results show the deleterious impact of the issues at Wipac, which overshadowed profit growth at both the Technical Plastics (CTP) and smaller Aerospace divisions. Group revenues decreased by 1% y o y while underlying EBIT of £1.3m adjusted for exceptionals, including a price concession on exit from the mid-volume automotive business (effectively a revenue impairment), fell by £2.4m to £8.4m (unaudited). Our estimates remain under review until there is more clarity on the exit from Wipac.
