However, the group declared a dividend of 12.5 pence per share, down 50% from 25.0p the year before, following the resetting of CPP's earnings expectations in January.

----------

Animalcare Group PLC - York-based veterinary sales and marketing - For 2021, pretax profit hikes to GBP945,000 from GBP199,000 the year before, on revenue which grows 5.0% annually to GBP74.0 million from GBP70.5 million, driven by exceptional veterinary demand in the first quarter, while markets return to more normal levels.

----------

IQE PLC - Cardiff, Wales-based semiconductor wafer products - For 2021, swings to pretax loss of GBP19.3 million from profit of GBP2.7 million, on revenue which drops 13% to GBP154.1 million from GBP178.0 million.

Looking ahead, expects revenue growth in 2022 at low single digits at a constant currency basis.

----------

Bioventix PLC - London-based biotechnology company - For the six months ended December 31, pretax profit drops to GBP3.6 million from GBP3.7 million a year before, on revenue which declines 8% to GBP4.7 million from GBP5.2 million as the Covid pandemic affects activity within diagnostic pathways in hospitals and clinics.In addition, sales associated with assay formats fell due to price erosion in downstream markets.
