Update: Getting back on track

After H1 disappointment Hogg Robinson (HRG) successfully addressed immediate pressures with a clear second-half recovery (trading profit -6% against -23% in H1), despite little help from conditions. However, by its own admission the challenge remains “to get ahead of the curve” in a changing corporate travel market, marked by continuing headwinds – notably competitor pricing and internet-driven business. Encouragingly, HRG is increasingly well financed (1.0x net debt/EBITDA in FY15) and committed to a progressive dividend (FY16e cover of 2.9x).
