Chemring has announced another profit warning, but unlike previously, management appears to be finally setting about rebasing the company for the future. While FY16 expectations look relatively intact, with 75% order book cover for revenues, a standby rights issue should see debt reduce to manageable levels, enabling management to stop looking over its shoulder and focus on the path ahead. Such repositioning should come as a welcome relief to investors.
