Results have yet again beaten our forecasts and the management has now delivered the fourth consecutive year of earnings above expectations. The share price is up 41% over the last three months, and Treatt is steadily moving from commoditised sales to more value-added products. Its strategy of deep customer relationships is paying off, giving it a real competitive advantage and improving margins. The year finished strongly and momentum is due to continue in the traditionally seasonally weaker Q117. Our P&L forecasts are broadly maintained, but our fair value moves to 272p (from 240p) as a result of stronger cash flow.
