Water treatment firm Hydro International saw profits drop as margins were squeezed and it faced tough comparators from the previous year. Pre-tax profits came in at £283,000, down from £951,000 in the first half of 2011. The firm said a shift of sales mix from proprietary products towards lower margin, distributed products was largely to blame for the drop. Chief Executive Steve Hides said the change in sales mix was often difficult to predict and Hydro's strategy was to mitigate this through further diversification across geographies and a broadening of the company's proprietary product portfolio. "We anticipate that our full year results will be heavily second half weighted although sales will continue, as in the first half, to include a similar proportion of lower margin distributed products," he said. Hides added that Hydro's core markets of the US and UK were expected to remain challenging, citing the UK construction industry in particular. This uncertainty ruffled investors who pushed shares down almost 8% in morning trading following the announcement. However, the firm remained financially robust and was making good progress with initiatives to underpin future growth for the business, Hides said. Revenues for the year were up to £15.3m from £13.7m the year before and the company said it would pay no interim dividend.
Water treatment provider Hydro International has admitted trading remained challenging through the early part of 2012, resulting in delays of the timing of some projects and, ultimately, a lower first half-year performance than that seen in the corresponding period. Full-year results will consequently be heavily weighted towards the second half of the year. The firm was keen to emphasise both that record levels had been seen in the same period the previous year and that new enquiry levels remain buoyant and the pipeline of potential opportunities is strong.
Hydro International, a water products company, has won a contract worth £1m for its Hydro-Sludge Screen product. The screens will be installed at 10 municipal wastewater plans across east England. It is the largest Hydro-Sludge order to date
Despite market conditions remaining difficult, water treatment group Hydro International (HYD) posted widened pre-tax profits for the year ended 31st December 2010, boosted by increased revenue and improved margins. The group reported a pre-tax profit of 2.4 million pounds, up by 33% a year earlier, on revenue 3% greater at 28.2 million pounds. Looking ahead, chief executive Steve Hides said: "The building momentum of contract wins across the business divisions, both during the financial year and post year end, provides great encouragement." Hydro shares soared 21.5p to 143.5p.
I forgot to put - I can see this growing like ARM in which Dad bought me....etc etc. Toodles. Seany B
That's good, I'll let you be captain i guess...Don't think you've missed too much on IQE, long, long term hold for me, couple of years & you will see that rise a good'un. I got in @ 46p from the re-trace last week, been watching it for months but didnt decide to jump in until the other week. Dad bought me some ARM about 4 or 5 years back at 1.19 now look where they are! Dubai eh? alright for some! I'll stick to sunny Slough..... Good luck in the rest of yours mate. no doubt converse sooner or later. All the best Seany B
haha yeah lets hope not! some of it luck no doubt, jumped into a couple of them without research. IQE just got in, results @ end of month so fingers crossed. But enough off topic! back to Hydro. well I will once I have lunch. Is there actually anyone else on here.....?
Definitely in for the ride with me that's for certain, tbh it's actually my dads money in here, I told him to buy in here as I didn't have the funds, but he's going to give me all the profits (the joys of being 21, crap job & needing finances!) but I have to look after it for him. I'm only new to this as well, 6 months. I saw this in Shares Mag about a month ago or whenever it was & it was the only one to really take my eye in that issue, the potential & just everything about it seemed right. These results just add to that gut feeling as well, to me this can only win! Talking of high risk that's all im in unfortunately, not the best thing to do when just starting off....remaining portfolio for me as follows - IQE, BEM, AFC, ATC (bloody turd), POL, KAH, MRW, ACHL. Luckily it is all paying off at the moment! Out of all them BEM was my proud investor moment, same as you, no tips, hype etc just pure research by me. in @ 12p and riding high at 70p with more to come.
haha well definitely no chance on that one! hope you didn't mind me shortening your name either? reminds me of Schweinsteiger then. But don't worry, you will have someone else to talk to now, although i rarely post, i like to read the boards & every now and then will pop up with something not very spectacular. such as this post really :) Have you set yourself a limit on this share or are you going to hold long term & just ride.....?
with the results, onwards and upwards, so happy I got in this a couple months back. GLA
Steve Hides, CEO of Hydro International plc, commented: "I am delighted that we have returned to our long term record of growth following a difficult 2009. Despite market conditions we have increased both revenue and profit. Water and flood management remain high up on political agendas due to growing populations, increasing urbanisation and climate change. Whilst there is potential for continued short term trading challenges, the building momentum of contract wins across the business divisions, both during the financial year and post year end, provides great encouragement. The investment in the sales teams alongside the Group's international reach and innovative, quality products are delivering results, demonstrating that our strategic direction is the correct one. The Group is financially strong and well positioned to continue to grow organically in its core UK and US markets as well as seek opportunities to expand in other international markets."
