FY17 starts in line with expectations

Trading in the first four months of FY17 has been in line with management expectations and our estimates are unchanged. Market commentary is cautious, but as outlined in our recent note Epwin has a number of internal initiatives underway to further improve the business and mitigate near-term input cost pressures. In our view, longer-term prospects are somewhat better than the current rating is implying.
