Re: Compensation ?... Based on past performance I am expecting a drop to £5.50 or below over the coming months. An excellent opportunity to buy back in.
Compensation ?... BUT....The question is how is BTG going to compensate the fall of Lemtrade royalties ?This year's royalties were around 39 mil. To give an idea, this is 10 times as much as the revenu from Varithena sales. BTG will need something else to buy and this is not the good time is it. Nothing is cheap anymore.I expect a further fall in the SP from now on.Ambiorix.
Re: %Profits up 13%cash 155.5 m, prof 57.5m ... forgot this from my last post profit after tax was down ,plus I put mark up the wrong way round it should have read 71% not 17% sorry .BE HAPPYDAVE Earnings per shareThe calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:Year ended31 March Year ended31 March2017 2016Profit for the year (£m) 33.6 60.5
%Profits up 13%cash 155.5 m, prof 57.5m up The accounts appear to be good, with growth showing right across the board except and still holding good mark ups of near 17% how ever PneumRx® Coils are down on last years sales.The only thing that worries me here is, B.T.G don't mention the agreement regarding our snake bite product,in a press note last year it said ,B.T.G had agreed that Bioclon (which is a Mexican company) could start selling their own snake bite product into the US under licence from B.T.G in 2018, now that could hit our own sales of our own anti venom snake bit vaccine hard unless BTG have some way of mitigating this? I also note our current liabilities have increased to £165.5m,most of which are due soon. see section 8. Business Combination . Other than that, I can't find any thing that would course our price to fall 10% .How ever, they do say in the accounts they intend expanding further this year ,and if they have all ready found an acquisition ,then a lower share price would be better for B.T.G, if as usual they intend offering shares & cash,BE HAPPYDAVE Press Release BTG plc: Final Results Strong strategic progress in 2016/17 with double-digit growth in product sales London, UK, 16 May 2017: BTG plc (LSE: BTG), the global specialist healthcare company, today announces its final results for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Share fall Clearly something has moved the market - a leak of the results?
Re: sell the news down another 20p from 1st post70p down
sell the news Results OK but had a very good run so i guess it was already priced in shorters back in force todayI would wait for a better entry level.
Results !! Comments please Any comments on the results ??Paulo
Thanks for the repliies Lets hope Varithena is taking off
Re: Results Following thectrading update we know that the results will be strong.Our SP is more likely to be influenced by the confidence implied by the outlook statement .Any hint of growth in sales of Varithena would be well received as unexpected.
Re: Results Quite usual for a share that has gone up strongly pre results to dip after announcement but usually this is a short term movement so just hold on ........
Results I would be interested in any ones view on the pending results.INMO we are going to need exceptional results to either hold or move forward from this level.My concern is that they are going to announce a book build when they release the results.
