Ian Pollard – Whitbread #WTB, a solidly good year!
Whitbread plc WTB can not quite make its mind up as to whether its full year results are good or solid, so to be on the safe side, it claims they are both.On an underlying basis revenue rose by 2.6% and profit before tax by 2.5% which is hardly impressive. On a statutory basis, operating profit and profit before tax rose by 0.1% and 0.2% respectively, which appears to be neither good nor solid. Even solidly good seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.
The man event of the year was was the sale of Costs to Coca Cola for £3.9bn. A significant majority of the net cash proceeds will be returned to shareholders but not just yet because regulatory approval is still required from the EU and perhaps more importantly China. Trump had perhaps best tread carefully on the sanctions front if he wants Coca Cola to get its approval. The one figure which does stand out among these somewhat mundane results is that the shareholders are to be well looked after with a dividend rise of 4%.
