Interim results and agreed 125p cash bid

Creston has published its interim results to end September, which show flat revenues with a like-for-like 4% decline. There was, however, a step up in PBIT margin from 10.3% to 11.6%, reflecting operational efficiencies from the Unlimited initiative and other planned overhead reductions, along with some benefit from currency. The company has this morning received a cash bid of 125p per share from DBAY Advisors, which controls 28.0% of the equity, recommended by the independent directors. Our forecasts for Creston are therefore withdrawn.
