Outlook: Strong H115 results

GB Group’s (GBG's) H115 results show strong performance with revenue of £23.2 (up 28%, of which 13% was organic growth), and normalised operating profit of £3.75m (H114: £2.55m), an increase of 47%. Diluted EPS after our notional 21% tax charge rose 35% to 2.3p versus 1.7p in H114. Both of the group’s divisions contributed to this performance. These results and management’s encouraging outlook add comfort to our FY15 estimates, which we raised in October following the Transactis purchase. Operating cash flow remains strong and the balance sheet is robust with £8.6m net cash at 30 September 2014.
