FUTURE FISHY NUMBERS DUE TO FIXED EXCHANGE RATES ?15 Jul 2021 10:20
The only point I would question is the constant exchange rates:"(1) The Group's primary currency exposures are the British Pound and the Euro converting to its US Dollar reporting currency. For FY 2022, it is using constant currency rates of 1.3835 and 1.1878 for the Pound and the Euro, respectively. For FY 2021, constant currency rates were 1.2368 and 1.1235 for the Pound and the Euro, respectively." - Knowing that 70% of its business is in the US, it is not accurate for example to fix the dollar to sterling at 1.2368 in 2021 knowing that at current exchange rate, it is around 1.39. This will dramatically inflate the US revenues which are 70%. I am not sure this is not overdone as this will make a big artificial impact on actual revenues from the US. Therefore what is "reported" in dollars is not really what is going into the bank in Sterling.
