We believe greater confidence in delivery will be a trigger for re-rating as the current May 2019E P/E of 6.5x and P/B of 0.8x are inconsistent with a profitable, growing company. The results also confirm impairment losses, although rising modestly, remain well controlled and more than priced into lending, and that provisions coverage is increasing.

We expect the second half to show a continuation of these trends, together with more integration benefits.\nPlease click here for the full report:\nhttp://hardmanandco.com/docs/default-source/company-docs/1pm-plc-documents/16-01-18-1pm-plc-interim-results-delivering-value-added-strategy.pdf?Status=Temp&dm_t=0,0,0,0,0\n \n\n\n\n\nTo contact us:\nHardman & Co\n35 New Broad Street\nLondon\nEC2M 1NH\nFollow us on Twitter @HardmanandCo\n\n\nContact:\nMark Thomas\n \n \n+44 20 7194 7622\n\n\n \[email protected]\n \n \nwww.hardmanandco.com\n\n\n\n\nAbout Hardman & Co: For the past 20 years Hardman has been producing specialist research designed to improve investors' understanding of companies, sectors, industries and investment securities.
