ASX ANNOUNCEMENT AND MEDIA RELEASE
Trading update
Despite challenging market conditions in the first four months of FY16, the Group’s unaudited profit before tax has increased to $3.9 million, up 39% on the prior corresponding period. This strong increase in profit performance is underpinned by a 4% increase in revenue on last year and a 4% increase in gross margin dollars.
Continued cost out exercises across the Group and increased efficiencies from the ongoing integration of prior acquisitions, have resulted in total costs in dollars being lower than the same period last year. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales declined by 100 bps to 20.9% relative to the comparative period last year.
The results for the half year will obviously be dependent on trading in the critical months of November and December which typically represent the peak of seasonal demand.
