Update: Contracts, financial close and momentum

Stobart has delivered a series of contract wins and these along with strategic moves over the year, provide momentum towards its medium-term targets across the core growth divisions. With financial close achieved on the proposed biomass plant at Stobart’s Widnes site and two subsequent biomass supply deals secured, the group is on track to achieve its 2m tonnes pa run rate by 2017. In Aviation, passenger volumes have increased again at London Southend, up 9% to 1.09m, slightly below our forecast. Some rebalancing of current routes is expected and negotiations remain ongoing with other airlines. Any further deal would be transformational. With other divisions performing as expected, we feel that Stobart is well positioned to work towards its medium-term targets, although progress may be uneven.
