Pipelines Are In Growth Channels & Lapped Prior Year Pipeline Fill
Whitbread plc WBT places such emphasis on its various pipelines new and old that one has to wonder which business it is in, hotels or oil and gas. Verbiage in its interim report has not however stopped it from having a good first half. On a statutory basis, profit before tax for the six months to the 31st August rose by 19.9% and basic earnings per share by 23.6%Revenue growth was strong at 7.4% and Premier Inn and Costa are both gaining market share. In the UK over 2,000 new rooms have been 0pened and Direct bookings now account for 95% of the total which is not good news for the likes of booking.com.
As for those pipelines, in Germany it has accelerated new hotel pipelines and achieved nine secured pipeline hotels as well as strengthening a new Costa Store pipeline. The focus is on growth channels which are of course much better than straightforward ordinary growth without the channels.
Bunzl plc BNZL Since the 30th June revenue at constant exchange rates has grown by 11% and underlying growth has improved by between 5 and 6%. Growth through acquisition has also continued as an important part of the company’s strategy and for which it has an active pipeline.
GB Group GBG traded strongly in the half year to the 30th September with revenue rising by 40%, equal to 17% on n organic basis. An adjusted operating profit of £10m. is expected, which will be an increase of over 90% on last year.
Shoe Zone plc SHOE Despite the continuation of foreign exchange impacts continuing into the second half, full year profit before tax should be broadly in line with expectations. Revenue in the second half fell slightly due to the planned closure of loss making stores. The Big Box format as proved successful with six opened during the year and a further 10 planned.
Distil plc DIS Lapped prior year pipeline fill, with strong year on year growth in the six months to 30th September., which saw volume rise by 41.3% and gross profit by 22.1%.Operating losses fell by 68.1% to £22,000.

AO World Leveraging For Future Territorial Category Roll Out
AO WORLD plc AO. Group operating losses for the year to 31st March rose from £10.6m to £12m despite a 25% rise in UK operating profit, after further gains were made in market share and a 12.7% rise in UK revenue. The UK figures were quite pedestrian compared to Europe which in constant currency terms produced a 52% growth in revenue after a full years trading in the Netherlands. Total revenue for the year was up by 17%. UK growth rates are expected to slow significantly in the current year.
But never mind problems like that, jargon as is often the case in these circumstances, is called to the rescue. Thus the company will operate a different distribution model which can be “leveraged for future category roll out across territories” and its “customer service metrics remain exceptional.” Fine, if only they could stop those losses mounting as well.
GB Group GBG is proposing to increase its final dividend by 13% to 2.35p per share after profit before tax for the year to 31st March grew by 8.2% and basic earnings per share by 10.8%. Revenue for the year grew by 19.2% or by 12% on an organic basis.
WYG plc WYG After producing double digit revenue growth in the year to 31st March, WYG is proposing to increase its final dividend by 20%. Adjusted profit before tax rose by 17% but earnings per share fell to 3.3p from 4p in 2016 and on an unadjusted basis profit before tax was down from £2.2m to £1.6m. Growth in the second half slowed to 10% and the start to the current year has been affected by the general election which has caused the award of some contracts to be delayed. Overall the order book so far is flat.
