Positive outlook
Acal’s H117 results reflected the weaker demand that was previously flagged combined with positive FX trends. Design & Manufacturing (D&M) continues to grow as a proportion of total revenues and profits and management has raised its targets for this part of the business. The company continues to consider further acquisitions, recently increasing its debt facility to support its growth strategy. The outlook for FY17 is unchanged – based on H117 order inflow, H217 is expected to be stronger and we leave our earnings forecasts substantially unchanged.
