Update: Profitability gains but international delays

Store Electronic Systems (SES) has published interim results following the trading update on 31 July 2014. The strong international revenue growth (32% y-o-y) and the return to growth in France (5% y-o-y) were slightly lower than forecast, so while still believing that €100m of revenue is achievable for FY14e, we have lowered our forecast to €95m. This does not alter our positive outlook and we see the combination of SES’s leadership position in an underpenetrated but fast-growing market, with the potential for margin expansion, as drivers for sustainable mid- to long-term growth.
