Plastics Capital plc provided earnings guidance for the full year ending 31 March 2018. For the period, the company expects results to be marginally below current market expectations in terms of Sales and adjusted EBITDA. The company expects to report that profitability has improved significantly from that reported in first half, with adjusted EBITDA expected to be approaching double that generated in first half. Two factors account for this; firstly, Films Division profitability has benefitted from the strong growth in sales which started in second quarter and secondly, sales have picked-up, although modestly, in the bearings business where operational gearing is significant. However, because of the difference in operational gearing between the Films Division and the Industrial Division, higher sales than expected in the Films Division are not expected to not make up for lower sales than expected in the higher margin Industrial Division.
