Scales - SCL

Wonder if we'll see excessive use of the word growth in the announcement tomorrow.

Lol. Would be nice, but really looking for nice cool projections with plantings for meteoric impact in Q3/4 if you catch my drift.

H1 NPAT $33.8m up 3% on last year

Then this -

• Full year guidance upgraded to EBITDA between $55 million and $62 million, equating to a net profit after tax of between $29.6 million and $34.6 million.

So very very seasonal - don't make any dosh in 2nd half of year

So excitment all ocer for another six months

I might be a little dim but when you read things like - Apple export volumes up 12 per cent on 2015 export volumes / Food Ingredients EBITDA up 33 per cent, / pet food sales volumes up 24% on 1H15 and a whole lot of ther big numbers you expect a bumper result

But NPAT only up 3% - fractionally ahead of same period last year

What am I missing?

Cold storage didn't do so well.

'Growth' used 9 times in presentation

Noticed 'strong' used 9 times as well - with strong performance / strong demand the most popular but 'strong growth' only reported once

Main point - IS IT GOOD OR BAD in the eyes of the market

GOOD = share price $4 plus soon

BAD (or just OK) = share price $3 odd

I glad a lightened up a while ago

Market probably expects more IMHO, although I'm not fussed and I'm quite happy with the report. I've only had a chance to briefly whiz through it since I'm at work and although NPAT was only up 3%, it's a lot better than the prospectus and we're managing to keep up, or slightly improve on last years record performance.
