Decisive action being taken

Given Julyâ€™s profit warning, Vislinkâ€™s interims this morning were never going to be pretty. H1â€™16 orders and turnover fell 21% and 15% respectively to Â£22.3m and Â£22.6m, reflecting ongoing difficulties at VSC (where sales dropped -18.5% to Â£17.2m) as broadcasters continued to divert budgets from infrastructure to content and transition to IP technologies (re delayed orders). Accordingly this pushed group adjusted EBIT to a loss of -Â£1.1m (vs Â£2.2m LY) - excluding Â£2.2m of forex gains which were credited to reserves - with net debt rising to Â£8.8m from Â£5.75m as at December.

Update: Fast-forward on transition to software

Vislink has announced that FY16 performance will be materially below previous estimates because of weakness in the hardware division (VCS). Management has instigated a restructuring of this division, accelerating the transformation of the group into one where two-thirds of operating profits are derived from software activities. Progress executing this transformation should prompt a partial recovery in the share price.

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
