AZ Electronic Materials directors try to minimize damage

Wed, 10th Apr 2013 16:27

John Whybrow, the Chairman of AZ Electronic Materials, which on Tuesday tanked after it issued a warning on full year revenue, has shown his faith in the chemicals company by enlarging his shareholding. Whybrow acquired 40,000 shares at 254p each for a total trade value of £101,600, taking his stake in the company to 118,541 shares. Geoff Wild, the group's Chief Executive Officer, also made a significant purchase, buying 40,000 shares at 268p each. The £107,200 purchase takes his holding to 885,749.A number of other directors also gave the group their backing with purchases of various sizes. The company reported a 2.0% year-on-year decline in revenue to $19.9m for the three months to April 8th, following lower-than-expected sales in its IC Materials division. The company blamed weak performance and an unfavourable product mix in IC Materials, which includes products for use in integrated circuits and devices. Revenue in the division fell 7.0% year-on-year to $123.3m. As a result, the group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margin for the three month period was lower than normal, and will be for the year as a whole, it warned. Group revenue for the full year will be around the same levels as last year, the company added. Having lost around 30% of its value on Tuesday, the stock regained 15% the following morning, boosted in part by a rating upgrade from broker UBS.
