Carr's Group - Diversification supports profits growth

Once again, Carr’s diversified model has enabled it to deliver profit growth despite well-publicised issues in the UK agriculture sector. Pre-exceptional PBT grew by 4.5% to £11.4m as a flat result from the Agriculture division was enhanced by a year-on-year performance improvement in Engineering. Group H119 revenues rose by 3.0% year-on-year to £206.2m, reflecting commodity price inflation and sales from Animax, which was acquired in September 2018. Noting this resilience, we leave our estimates and valuation unchanged.
