Robust progress continues at Ensor Date: Friday 10 Jun 2011 LONDON (ShareCast) - Shares of building materials supplier Ensor surged after it posted a sharp rise in profit for the year, upped its dividend and said it is well positioned to make further progress in this new financial year. Profit before tax rose to £813,000 in the year ended 31 March 2011 compared to £256,000 a year earlier. Revenue increased to £21.4m from £19.4m previously. "This organic growth is particularly pleasing as it is against a background of continued recessionary pressures and an uncertain construction industry, " Ensor said in a company statement. Cash of £1.2m was generated over the year compared to £1.1m in 2010. The group is debt free. "We are financially well placed to take advantage of appropriate business or acquisition opportunities, when they arise, to strengthen the group," it said. A final dividend of 0.35p per share has been offered.
Get on in there!
Potentially a blue day here again but that spread kills!
CONT Work to maximise the value of our property assets continues. Our Brackley site is shortly expected to receive planning permission for residential development, at which point we intend to place the site on the market. During the year we disposed of our property in Sandbach which was surplus to our needs. The continued improvement in our trading results and the strength of our balance sheet has led us to propose a final dividend of 0.35p per share. This dividend together with the interim dividend of 0.175p already paid will result in a total dividend for the year of 0.525p per share. This compares with a total dividend of 0.15p for the year ended 31 March 2010 and demonstrates our determination to return to being a dividend growth stock. Subject to approval at our AGM, the final dividend will be payable on 12 August 2011, to shareholders on the register on 1 July 2011. May I once again thank our shareholders for their loyal support and everyone at Ensor for their efforts and hard work which have contributed to these excellent results. K A Harrison TD Chairman 10 June 2011
FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT - Sales: up 10% to £21,357,000 - Operating profit: up 86% to £938,000 - Proposed total dividend: 0.525p up from 0.15p I am delighted to be able to report that Ensor has continued to make substantial progress this year with sales up 10% to £21,357,000 (2010: £19,443,000). More importantly, operating profits have increased by 86% to £938,000 (2010: £504,000) and earnings per share have gone up to 2.1p (2010: 1.3p). This organic growth is particularly pleasing as it is against a background of continued recessionary pressures and an uncertain construction industry, a market in which we are highly involved. During the year, our cash flows have been good. Our profitability, debtor and stock management have allowed us to become debt free and create a net cash position. Since last year we have successfully changed our banking arrangements with an improvement in the terms we enjoy. We are financially well placed to take advantage of appropriate business or acquisition opportunities, when they arise, to strengthen the Group. In contrast with last year when the Ensor pension scheme deficit increased, there has been no further impact this year on the balance sheet, as the net value of the assets and liabilities of the scheme is generally unchanged. This has contributed to the reduction in our finance charges to £125,000 (2010: £248,000). All of our operating subsidiaries have performed well during the year. We continue however to be cautious with our outlook, due to the unknown effects of government spending cuts, the slow progress of the economy and exchange rate fluctuations. I am happy though, that Ensor is well positioned to make further progress in this new financial year. Sales order intakes and gross margins are currently satisfactory. Our emphasis of targeted marketing of well-engineered products and services, into clearly identified sectors, allows us to take a larger share, albeit, of a reduced market. Our China office continues to support our UK companies by representing their best interests and seeking new commercial opportunities.

+23%
+6.7 % but still a nightmare of a spread
Might be enough for for upward movement today
The second half of the year has started well, but traditionally our results have been affected by a short month in December and weather conditions impacting on the building trade. We are also keeping a close watch on the effects of Government spending cuts on the construction market. We feel however that we are well placed to deal with most eventualities.
Interim results for the period ended 30 September 2010 Chairman's Statement * Sales: up 8% to £10,814,000 * Operating profit: up 146% to £463,000 * Interim dividend reintroduced
