Finding its wings
SUMMARY
The interim figures show a mixed picture of head- and tailwinds, but with a definite improvement in Q217 over Q117, particularly in the events business. The loosening of the DMGT relationship is facilitating a faster implementation of the strategy to drive profit growth, with the benefit set to show more strongly in FY18. We have adjusted our forecasts to reflect the RISI acquisition in April, with underlying trading in line. The step-up in the dividend payout reflects the group’s strong underlying cash generation.
