Braemar Shipping Services buoyed as half-year revenues surge

23 October 2007

Charles Stanley Securities upgraded its performance forecasts for Braemar Shipping Services today, after the integrated shipping services group posted surging revenues on the back of a buoyant market.

Revenues at Braemar topped £68.7 million in the six months to 31 August 2007, up from £50.5 million in the same period last year. Pre-tax profit hit £7.1 million, up from £4.1 million last time.

Sir Graham Hearne, Braemar’s chairman, said the company’s Shipbroking operation had gone from strength to strength with more chartering transactions concluded and more long-term business placed particularly for newbuilding contracts and period charters. He said the company’s forward order book of business was at a record level and significantly higher than at the beginning of the year.”

“Our non-broking businesses are now contributing approximately one quarter of the group's profits,” Hearne noted. “The outlook for the second half of the year remains favourable. The level of business already concluded this year means that we can be confident that the full year out-turn should see good growth over last year.”

On the back of positive trading in a strong market, Charles Stanley Securities raised its pre-tax profit forecast again for FY 2008 by £0.4 million to £12.8 million, EPS of 42p and a full year dividend of 22p, an increase of 16%.
