They have £2Bn of assets. I'm looking forward to the "fit for growth" update, due with the 2017 financials. Gross revenue of £3.7Bn. Cost cutting made in early part of 2017 and additional savings.
From Jan 10th RNS:
"Management are confident that the cost savings and management actions identified will contribute at least £40-50m to Group operating profit by 2020, with the in-year impact in 2018 estimated to be £15m. As a result of the 'Fit for Growth' initiatives, the Group's operating profit for 2018 is now expected to be ahead of current market expectations. A full update on the programme will be provided as part of the 2017 annual results presentation."
If they can increase margins a little, will have a big impact on profits. £120m market cap ridiculous now funding certainty.
