Update: Confidence in H2 recovery

In H115 LSL delivered stable revenue on H114, but investment saw costs rise moderately and the adjusted operating profit and EPS fall by 32%. There was double-digit revenue growth in both lettings and financial services, and the re-engineering last year in the surveying division saw profits rise a third despite flat revenue. Falling H1 volumes in the core sales business were expected and should reverse into growth in H215. Management is confident of delivering FY15 market forecasts.
