Boom Logistics Limited Announcement
November 30, 2007 ASX code BOL
The Company advises that the first half net profit after tax is expected to range between $17 and $18million. This corresponds to a position between the first and second half performance during the previous year. The final position will depend upon the timing of the usual pre-Christmas slowdown in general business activity.
As indicated to the market in Wednesday’s release, factors affecting first half performance include:
-
port congestion in Queensland and NSW;
-
the Queensland 10 year rebuild programme to meet legislative and Queensland customer requirements;
-
strong competition in the access hire market impacting on margins and staff retention; and
-
shortage of heavy equipment supply.
Looking forward, we would anticipate some improvement in operating conditions into the second half of the year.
