In 2nd half - my persona target is 900p
Details from 11 June - - - - -
Sharecast News) - RWS Holdings on Tuesday reported a leap in first half profits after revenue climbed following a strong contribution from the RWS Moravia division. The language and intellectual property support service reported a profit before tax of �27.6m for the six-month period ended 31 March, up 51% compared to the same period last year, while revenue was 23% higher at �172.3m. Andrew Brode, chairman of RWS, said: "RWS has delivered a strong first half with record revenues and profits, driven by our three largest divisions. We are particularly pleased with the improved performance at RWS Moravia, which has achieved both healthy top- line growth and strong margins through focused operational management." Localization services provider Moravia, which was acquired in November 2017 and consequently had not contributed fully to interim results before, accounted for 41% of the group's revenues. The division's reported sales increased by 36% to �71.1m and margins improved from 13.4% to 19.3% following operating structure simplification and cost cutting. The board remain confident of achieving a record full-year result due to encouraging performances at the start of H2, a "strong" sales pipeline and further margin improvement at Moravia. Analysts from Berenberg hiked their price target for the stock from 615p to 670p on the back of Tuesday's numbers, calling the results a "strong continuation" of RWS Holdings' growth story, even as they looked ahead to the company's results presentation for further detail on whether the Moravia division's margins were sustainable, the likelihood of further mergers and acquisitions and the outlook for margins in the IP unit. "Overall, we remain highly supportive of RWS, given its long-term track record of growth, capital light business model and possible upside to future forecasts," said the note. RWS Holdings' shares were down 2.15% at 592.00p at 0956 BST.
High PT - this is a good company and all, but you seem a little lonely on here ? Thought I'd better come and say despite the fall that seems to be happening at the moment in world markets I totally endorse your confidence and always look to this one when the FT100 is happy. Just not happy a the moment and Brexit is a big reason and could hurt this short term. However, hang in there because you are backing a winner.

LONDON (Alliance News) - RWS Holdings PLC on Tuesday reported double-digit earnings growth in the first half of its current financial year, helped by the acquisition of Moravia.
The language support services provider said pretax profit grew by 51% to GBP27.6 million in the six months to the end of March as revenue jumped by 23% to GBP172.3 million.
In particular, the company noted RWS Moravia delivered a "significantly" improved performance both in revenue and profitability, and RWS IP Services achieved "substantial" top-line growth, whilst investing in additional staff and production processes.
Moravia was acquired in November 2017 and therefore the first half results in 2018 included only five months of trading.
RWS Moravia' revenue was up 36% in the first half to GBP71.1 million.
This "good" growth was achieved despite the continuing reduction in volumes with one of the division's top five clients, RWS explained. Excluding this client, sales across Moravia's top five clients increased by 10%.
The RWS IP Services division, formerly RWS Patent Translation & Filing and RWS Patent Information, achieved revenue growth of 15% to GBP62.3 million, bolstered by increased sales to several of its major clients.
The RWS Life Sciences unit reported revenue growth of 21% to GBP31.8 million for the period, benefiting from the additional clients transferred from Moravia.
In the RWS Language Solutions segment, revenue in the first half improved by 1% to GBP7.1 million, thanks to additional sales generated by recently acquired Alpha Translations Canada Inc.
The company said its Language Solutions unit saw reduced sales to several key clients due to challenging market conditions, notably in the German automotive and renewable energy sectors.
RWS declared an interim payout of 1.75 pence a share, up 17% from 1.5p paid the year before.
"Following a strong first half and encouraging performances at the start of H2, we are confident of achieving another record year," said Chair Andrew Brode.
RWS shares were trading 2.0% lower on Monday morning at 593.00 pence each.
