[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 4954Q 1PM PLC 12 September 2017 \n\nHardman Research: Financing powerhouse: A lunchtime treat\nFinancing powerhouse: A lunchtime treat - 1pm offers a unique exposure to the attractive UK, non-bank, SME financing market. We believe it can deliver superior growth from: (i) focussed business units delivering high service levels, (ii) the market trend away from bank finance, and (iii) group synergies in funding, centralised processing and cross-selling. Credit risk is key and 1pm adopts appropriate controls in each of its units, and at the Group level. Funding risk is also tightly controlled. Recent acquisitions look well priced and create strategic optionality as well as earnings diversity. We forecast EPS growth of 27% 2019 on 2017, for which investors are paying a 2019e PE of c6x.\nPlease click here for the full report:\nhttp://hardmanandco.com/docs/default-source/company-docs/1pm-plc-documents/12.09.17-financing-powerhouse-a-lunchtime-treat.pdf\n\n\n\n\nTo contact us: \nHardman & Co\n35 New Broad Street,\nLondon,\nEC2M 1NH\n\n\nContacts:\nMark Thomas\[email protected] \n \nTelephone: +44 20 7194 7622\nFollow us on Twitter @HardmanandCo\n\n\n\n\nwww.hardmanandco.com\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.
