Forecast updates

We have updated our forecasts to reflect recent announcements from Utilitywise (UTW), including those related to consumption volumes in ‘nominated contracts’, implementation of IFRS 15 and the trading update. While our changes have resulted in lower projections for revenues, profits and dividends, changes to revenue recognition will result in lower levels of accrued revenue and a stronger link between profits and cash flow. Following recent falls, the rating of the shares appears undemanding for a company that we expect to generate profits and cash in FY18.
