Walker Greenbank has confirmed that repairs to the Anstey factory printing machine that was affected by the fire 4 weeks ago are progressing, and it will be up and running again in early Q1 FY19. Insurance will cover the repair/replacement costs, and there will be no loss of profit (just a deferral from Q4 into Q1). The deferred printing revenue is expected to be of the order £1m and the profit shift will be about £0.4m. We have altered our forecasts accordingly, from £12.8m to £12.4m in Jan18 and from £13.5m to £13.9m in Jan19. The fact there is no further update on trading indicates performance since the warning 8 weeks ago has been in line with downgraded guidance. Given where the share price has dropped to after a 40% fall to 140p (vs 12% downgrade), the P/E is now sitting at just 9x. This looks to be significantly oversold and so today’s news ought to be well received and see the shares regain some ground. The FY pre-close will provide more details on subsequent UK and overseas trading in 4 weeks time.
