Technicolor - An improving picture for H2

Technicolor’s H1 results were in line with management expectations and we have made only minor adjustments to underlying forecasts (numbers now reflect implementation of IFRS 16). Work on The Lion King contributed to a very busy H1 for Production Services, which also has a good H2 pipeline. Connected Home has market leadership in broadband gateway access and has made good progress with its cost saving plan. We expect working capital to swing back to the group’s advantage in H2 and operating margins to start to rebuild. The share price has recovered from recent weakness but remains well below peer based and DCF valuations.
