AIM WINNERS & LOSERS: Hotel Chocolat posts profit in "pleasing" year

Tue, 05th Oct 2021 10:33

(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM in London on Tuesday.

----------

AIM - WINNERS

----------

Hotel Chocolat Group PLC, up 8.6% at 439.75 pence, 12-month range 310p-475p. The chocolatier grows revenue 21% to GBP164.6 million in the financial year that ended June 27 from GBP136.3 million the year before, and swings to pretax profit of GBP7.8 million from loss of GBP7.5 million. "This pleasing set of results primarily reflects the strong performance of the group's multichannel proposition and the group's fast-growing active customer database," Hotel Chocolat says. Opts not to pay a dividend given opportunities to invest for further growth, and plans to recommence payouts "when it is appropriate to do so".

----------

MySale Group PLC, up 7.7% at 8.35p, 12-month range 5.99p-13p. The online retailer reports revenue for financial year to June 30 of AUD117.9 million, down from AUD131.0 million the year before, and pretax loss widens to AUD5.4 million from AUD3.4 million. However, it flags return to underlying profitability, with underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of AUD4.2 million after loss of AUD2.7 million year before. Reports "continued positive trading momentum" in first quarter of new financial year. Also appoints Kalman Polak, with over a decade at digital marketplace Catch.com.au, as chief executive officer.

----------

Inspiration Healthcare Group PLC, up 7.6% at 126.40p, 12-month range 61.5p-152p. The medical technology firm's revenue for six months to July 31 rises to GBP20.9 million from GBP14.2 million, and pretax profit more than doubles to GBP2.5 million from GBP1.1 million. "With a strong order book we are now well positioned to move into the next phase of the financial year focusing on the additional benefits we can leverage and driving sales through our enhanced global distribution network," says Chief Executive Neil Campbell.

----------

AIM - LOSERS

----------

Coral Products PLC, down 5.4% at 13.35p, 12-month range 4.16p-15.5p. The plastic products supplier says trading improves "significantly" despite challenges of Brexit, US-China hostilities and the pandemic. Revenue for financial year to April 30 rises to GBP10.7 million from GBP8.7 million the year before, and pretax loss slims to GBP316,000 from GBP463,000. "Our group is facing macro-economic challenges that are unprecedented, but we believe that our balance sheet and margins mean that we can mitigate the effects. The crisis will pass at some point," says Chair Joe Grimmond.
