Ferrexpo said production volume in February at its Ukrainian subsidiary reached the highest point since the start of Russia’s invasion of the country, with no disruption to production or sales.
Meanwhile, the London-listed iron-ore pellets exporter said Monday that some court cases in which it is involved have been delayed or rescheduled.
Ferrexpo said a hearing due to take place March 20 at Ukraine’s court of appeal against its subsidiary Ferrexpo Poltava Mining over a claim of around $125 million related to loan agreements didn’t take place after the presiding judge recused himself. A new panel of judges has been appointed and the company is awaiting a new court day.
A hearing at Poltava’s commercial court over a supplier’s debt claim from FPM has been rescheduled to April 9, Ferrexpo said. The claim had risen to around $115,000 from $58,000 on March 11, it said. A court of appeal bail hearing for FPM’s general director has also been rescheduled to April 2. “Ferrexpo is working closely with its Ukrainian legal counsel and international advisers to consider and address these matters,” it said.
Kingfisher backed medium-term guidance for its French business as it outlined plans to simplify its organization in the country.
The home-improvement retailer said Monday that it will simplify the business organization in France to improve performance and profitability of Castorama and Brico Deppt, supporting its medium-term retail profit margin target for France of around 5% to 7%. The company reported pretax profit for the year ended Jan. 31 of 475 million pounds ($598.6 million), compared with GBP611 million a year earlier. Analysts expected GBP546.9 million in profit, according to forecasts taken from FactSet and based on five estimates.
Adjusted pretax profit–which strips out exceptional and other one-off items–came in at GBP568 million from GBP758 million, beating the company’s target of GBP560 million and the company-provided market expectations of GBP557 million. Revenue fell to GBP12.98 billion from GBP13.06 billion, compared with the company-provided consensus estimate based on 13 analysts’ forecasts of GBP13.03 billion. Sales on a like-for-like basis fell 3.1% compared with a company-provided consensus estimate of a 2.7% decline.
Virgin Wines UK said pretax profit and revenue rose for the first half of its fiscal year and that it will start a share buyback program in the coming weeks.
The online wine retailer didn’t provide further details of the buyback but said its strong cash position and current share price prompted the decision.
Its performance in the six months ended Dec. 29 gives it confidence of meeting profit expectations for the year, Virgin Wines said Monday. The company posted a pretax profit for the half year of 1.1 million pounds ($1.4 million) compared with GBP90,000 the year before.
Revenue rose to GBP34.3 million from GBP33.6 million, underpinned by the resilience of its subscription program, Wine Bank, where subscription sales rose 6.5% to GBP20.5 million. “We expect a full year profit for 2024 in line with market expectations,” Chief Executive Jay Wright said.
Atos said it will report its 2023 financial results Tuesday after delaying their release twice. The French IT company had previously postponed its earnings report to March 20 to complete an audit, but pushed the date back again last week, after talks with Airbus to sell its cybersecurity unit ended and sent shares tumbling.
