Solid State has announced that trading results for FY16 at the group’s core businesses should be in line with market expectations. This confirms that it’s diversified platform will deliver another year of results at FY15’s record profit levels, despite general market weakness and the unexpected termination of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) contract. This strong result excludes compensation for the terminated contract, which we will treat as an exceptional item. The healthy order book at the start of FY17 supports our forecasts showing modest profit growth, so we leave our estimates and indicative valuation of 505p/share unchanged. The dividend (3.7x cover) represents an attractive yield at the current price.
