Accumulate

$3.50

23.67%

Underlying earnings in FY23 were in line with Ord Minnett's expectations. FY24 EBIT guidance is $65-70m, implying 0-7% growth. Guidance factors in continued strength in the base business offset by reduced coronavirus earnings.

The broker retains a long-term group EBIT margin forecast of 11% although expects further incremental margin pressure in the near term that should be eventually offset by increased operating leverage from higher volumes. Accumulate rating. Target is $3.50.

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 13.50 cents and EPS of 17.90 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 15.50 cents and EPS of 20.30 cents.
