Update: Seasonal cheer

While PPHE’s repeated ability to surprise at year end is welcome, its announcement of a current year profit upgrade largely reflects capex postponement and earlier caution ahead of its key Q4. We are nonetheless encouraged to have confirmation of “very strong” trading, notably in London, its major profit source, and are raising our forecast of 2014 EBITDA (our key metric) by €4m. Indeed, despite likely short-term disruption from refurbishments, the company’s positive momentum and FX gain suggest a similar fillip to EBITDA expectations next year.
