Update: Unexpected turbulence

The IMS warning of a likely full-year profit shortfall is all the more disappointing, given the strong end to FY14 and Hogg Robinson’s hard-won reputation for earnings resilience. However, there have been exceptional contributory factors, notably absorption of the major new government of Canada contract and the buoyancy of sterling, while management has a proven ability to adjust costs effectively, which should benefit as early as H2. Hogg Robinson remains very well financed and committed to a progressive dividend.
