26 June 2012 – final results
The year to 31 March was challenging for the group and revenues declined to £26.6m (2011: £29.3m) with adjusted pre-tax profits falling as well to £4.3m (2011: £6.1m). Earnings per share on the same basis were 17.7p (2011: 24.8p) and the dividend for the year was raised slightly to 10.15p (2011: 10.0p). At the year end the group had a strong cash position of £3.1m and no debt. Clearly the shipping industry is very competitive at the moment but ACM continues to make good progress in implementing its global expansion strategy and the shares remain a LONG TERM BUY.
