Our leased and tenanted business, Enterprise Publican Partnerships, continues to deliver like-for-like net income growth and the expansion of our managed operations and commercial property portfolio is on track."The announcement of a share buyback programme demonstrates our approach and underlines our confidence. We remain on track to meet our expectations for the full financial year and look forward to outlining the progress we have made in more detail later today."Numis, which rates the stock at 'buy', said £25m of share buybacks at 83p per share would be 5%-earnings accretive by its estimates.At 1340 GMT, Enterprise Inns shares were up 7.8% to 89.50p.
