SCT - Scott Tech

[Jerry]

SCT falling again. Still puzzled. It hasn't done well share-pricewise since the start of the year and especially since July. I can't see the Annual Report out yet. What is going on?

Annual results sometime this month. Year end was 31 August so they have to the end of October if they need that long but probably come out before then

Scott not renowned for making many announcements ...just the necessary ones and no more

What you expecting?

Results should be out sometime this week, I think. In the meantime big crossing this morning should take out that seller keen to offload over past few days.

Bit surprised to see that FY results are not released yet...thought they would've been out by now.

It does seem like it is a bit delayed. Historically speaking it seems to be middle of October and on a Thursday so would've expected it last week, but perhaps they were aiming for tomorrow. Guess we will see. Probably a good thing given all the drama going on in the markets last week.

Got this reply from Greg (CFO) re the FY results.

Thank you for your email. Earlier in the year we acquired a significant business in the Alvey Group in Europe and the increased size of the business now requires additional audit work to be undertaken. We hope to release our result early next week, depending on audit signoff and getting the Board together to approve the result and the release.

Kind regards

Hey Sanctus what’s going on ....huge increase in revenues but stuff all increase in profit ....doesn’t seem good

And that cash flow figure is pretty abysmal

Is SCT still a gunna company

Well yes - huge jump in revenue, admittedly some increase in earnings (14.3 cts/ share) compared to last year. However - earnings per share not a significant deviation from the historic long term average of 13 cts / share and, as it looks - fully paid out of cashflow.

On the flipside - a huge drop in NTA. Did they buy too much "goodwill" coming with their recent aquisitions?

They might make cool stuff, but the historic financial performance was not really exciting ... and this years result is not different. Risks appear to increase.

shareholder returns (dividends) exciting like a bank account, just less secure .... and never mind the principle (share price);
