Upgrade to full year guidance and trading update
Further to the guidance provided at the release of our half year results on 25 August 2021, Capral is upgrading its guidance for the FY21 year.
Capral’s manufacturing and distribution facilities continue to operate at full available capacity which has provided further increases in operating leverage delivering higher earnings. Government stimulus has had a positive impact on demand in our key markets. The Company expects market conditions to remain strong into the first half of 2022.
The improvements resulting from the restructure of Capral’s Bremer Park operations, combined with the benefit from import supply disruption and the growing trend towards favouring local manufacturing, has lifted volumes and earnings.
Capral expects to achieve a FY21 Trading EBITDA of around $37 million, up $5 million on previous guidance. EBITDA is expected to be circa $58 million. These earnings and a strong positive cash position will support the consideration of a fully franked final dividend.
Approved and authorised for release by Capral’s Board of Directors.
