Future has delivered a very good set of FY18 numbers – better than the upgrades put in place with the September update. This came through both the acquisitions and the organic growth as the group leverages its platform, with Media showing organic growth of 40%. There is plenty still to go for and we have again raised our FY19 expectations and published indicative FY20e forecasts. The group now has scale in the important US market, accounting for nearly half of group revenues on a pro-forma basis. In our view, the valuation does not reflect the premium growth or expanding margins.
