Coral Products PLC provides earnings guidance for the first half ended 31 October 2017 and second half and full year ending on April 30, 2018. For the first half, the board expects to incur a loss before tax of around £7,000. For the second half, the company expected to result in a small profit after non-recurring items. Recent streamlining of the Haydock workforce will give rise to significant savings in coming months. For the full year, the company’s profit before tax for the Group will be materially below market expectations although underlying profit excluding the costs identified as a result of the operational review at Haydock, is expected to be broadly in line with the previous year.
