GB Group - Back to investing for growth

GB Group’s (GBG’s) H121 results were in line with its recent trading update, confirming revenue growth of 10% y-o-y and normalised EPS growth of 25% y-o-y. COVID-19-related cost reduction and cash preservation measures helped reduce net debt by £32m h-o-h. FY21 revenue guidance is unchanged and the company expects to return to more normal levels of investment (both opex and capex) in H221. We have made small upgrades to our forecasts.
