Count confirms profit guidance
Accountancy-based dealer group Count Financial has confirmed its profit guidance for the 2009-10 financial year.
The company announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that it would achieve operating profit growth of around 10 per cent for the period.
However, it said that due to a requirement to mark to market the company’s investment portfolio, which now includes Mortgage Choice and competitor dealer group DKN, earnings per share growth was now expected to be around 18 per cent to 20 per cent.
The company will release its finalised annual results to the ASX on 17 August.
