Update: Paying double dividends

Despite a difficult environment, CENIT performed strongly over FY14 and Q4 in particular. Full year EBIT grew by 12% y-o-y on revenue growth of 3.8%. Dividends for the year were over double last year and EBIT margins improved 3.4pp y-o-y in Q4 to 9.5%. Management has guided to a conservative 3% revenue growth and 5% EBIT growth in FY15 but this assumes minimal margin improvement and therefore could easily be exceeded given the current trend. There are also multiple revenue drivers which could see revenue exceed guidance.
