LONDON Results Round up (9th December 2009)

9th December 2009

Results Round Up

Pre-tax profits fell by more than a quarter at Stagecoach in the six months to October 31 after the rail and bus group was squeezed by reduced demand from recession hit travellers and high fuel costs.

Profit before taxation fell to Ł75.5m from Ł105.2m the previous year as revenues edged up to Ł1.08m from Ł1.05m.

While bus operations were resilient in the face of the downturn, rail use was hit by the recession and unemployment, said Stagecoach, which operates the East Midlands Trains and South Western Trains franchises.

Photo booth operator
Photo-Me International posted a 72% surge in half year pre-tax profit and resumed dividend payments.

But chairman Hugo Swire cautioned that the second half historically tends to be the weaker of the two, so is “hopeful, rather than confident, that the second half will be profitable”.
