Ultra Electronics - Herley investment masks underlying progress
Ultra’s pre-close trading statement certainly contains reasons for optimism, especially better than expected order development. However, the continuing issues at Herley have led to a reduction of up to £6m in operating profit expectations for the group as a whole in FY18. The problems are no longer attributable solely to the larger than anticipated number of development contracts won, but clearly indicate unexpectedly high costs. The impact reduces FY18 EPS expectations by 6.7%, but should be contained to this year, with still good prospects for the production phases. Our fair value remains relatively unchanged at 1,811p from 1,816p previously.Ultra Electronics Holdings is a holding company.
