Outperformance in the bag

IG Design has had a very good second half trading and has issued a year-end update indicating that numbers will exceed market estimates. We have lifted our FY17 and FY18 numbers by 8-10% at the pre-tax and EPS levels, following an 11% uplift to earnings with the interims. Particularly notable is the comment on strong cash flow, with the group reaching its target of average leverage less than 2.5x EBITDA two years ahead of plan. With the earnings and cash flow momentum, strong balance sheet and progressive dividend, there is good potential for further share price upside.
