Exactly. The vast sums this company has paid for goodwill on center acquisitions simply vanishes into thin air as soon as they start running the center in such a mean tight fisted manner that the centers deteriorate. Any write-down will be a token effort only as they need to appease their bankers that goodwill hasn't been materially compromised which anyone with any industry knowledge knows has occurred. Shareholders really are on a hiding to nothing with this company.
As Winner suggested this is indeed a slow motion train wreck.
Remember folks, this company has a net tangible asset backing of negative 29 cents per share. The "strength" of the company is ALL predicated upon the goodwill they paid for centers they acquired being maintained. Be very careful with this one.
yes, a reasonable shift on this news (no surprises there). tough going in a saturated market. EVO might be a good TO target for the likes of GEM(ASX).... try and keep the good (profitable) centers and get rid of the low occupancy crap ones that don't contribute.

Another industry stuck between a rock and a hard place involving government funding. Wages are on their way up and funding stays steady.
The same will happen what took place in the retirement sector. Government funding will be needed to keep up with wage growth demand. If it doesn’t we will see profits continue to decline.

Anything to explain being down 10% in the weeks leading up to this update?
