Outlook: Strong results with encouraging outlook

Next Fifteen’s second interim results for the year to 31 July 2014 show a 6% revenue increase. Organic revenue growth of 5% was largely driven by continued strong trading in the group’s North American operations, which grew 12% organically. Adjusted PBT rose 36% while diluted adjusted EPS came in at 10.0p, 0.5p higher than our estimate primarily due to lower than expected minorities. Management says that current trading remains encouraging, with a good performance expected from the UK and US businesses for the rest of the group’s new financial year to January 2015. Supported by this, we again raise our PBT and EPS estimates for the year to July 2015. Following the 18-month results expected by the end of April 2015, we will formulate our estimates in line with the new year-end.
