Update: Accelerating momentum

Revenue growth of 28% and favourable product mix effects offset the impact of additional sales and product investment; as announced in April, operating profits increased 24%. Trading remains strong and we forecast acceleration in organic revenue growth in FY17. We initiate FY19 forecasts, looking for double digit EPS growth to continue. GB Group (GBG) has an excellent track record of creating value through M&A. With net cash and strong cash conversion, this could be added to by probable acquisitions.
