A.P Eagers Limited provided earnings guidance for the financial year 2015. For the year, the company expects to report an underlying Net profit before tax of $126.4 million for 2015, compared to $106.2 million for 2014, which is an increase of 19%. The Statutory net profit before tax is expected to be $121.0 million compared to $102.8 million for 2014, an increase of 18%.

The final results are subject to completion of asset fair value assessments. Preliminary assessments indicate a likely $5.5 million non-cash impairment of the goodwill associated with the National Trucks division following another disappointing full year result for that division. This likely $5.5 million impairment is already reflected within the above $121.0 million figure.
