IN BRIEF: London Security shares drop on falling interim profit

9th Sep 2022 09:45

London Security PLC - West Yorkshire, England-based fire protection products - Posts an increase of 7.1% in revenue to GBP88.6 million for the six months to June 30, from GBP82.7 million a year earlier. Pretax profit, however, dips by 7.1% to GBP10.8 million from GBP12.2 million.

Operating profit declines by 11% to GBP1.4 million to GBP10.9 million a year ago, as administrative expenses rise by 9.1% to GBP20.4 million during the period from GBP18.7 million a year ago. Cash amounts to GBP35.3 million at June 30, compared to GBP35.7 million at December 31.

London Security says: "The period under review reflects the impact from upward input price pressures in all of the countries in which we operate. These increases are being driven by worldwide supply chain disruption, energy and wage inflation following the war in Ukraine and the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic."

Current stock price: 2,730.00 pence, down 13%
