Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 March 2016
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
During the financial year ended 31 March 2016 revenue has
increased by 11.9%, gross profit has increased by 13.5%, and profit
before tax has increased by 21%. This has enabled earnings per
share to increase by 21.7% to 993 pence which covers the increased
dividend per share 3.3 times. The recommended final dividend of 100
pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2016 will be
payable on 15 August 2016 to Shareholders on the Register of
Members as at 15 July 2016. The total dividends for the year at 300
pence per share will have increased by a further 9.1% when compared
with the previous year.
There are as ever economic uncertainties and we cannot influence
the macro-economic situation, but Mountview has strong foundations.
Borrowings have been further reduced and we continue to make good
purchases. We research all opportunities thoroughly and I believe
that we can contemplate the future with confidence.
