Update: Honey in the pot

Comvita (CVT) is on its way to achieving NZ$400m in sales revenue by
FY20. It continues to benefit from locking in its honey supply and the
investments it has made in enhanced production facilities and the
rationalisation of its channels to market. Guidance for FY16 sales revenue
of >NZ$180m and an increase in NPAT of 35% has seen us increase our
forecast FY16 EPS by 4.4% to NZ$0.355/share and our valuation from
NZ$4.73 to NZ$7.16. This, together with continued exploitation of operating
leverage, should help the company achieve its stated+ objective of yearon-
year increases in ROCE above the FY15 level of ~12%.
