Rubicor Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the first half ending December 31, 2012. For the period, the company expects statutory EBITDA before abnormals in the range of $1.5 million to $1.9 million. This relatively wide range arises due to uncertainty in relation to permanent hires where timing and completion remains volatile in this environment.

The temporary business continues to deliver more reliable earnings and continue efforts to increase participation in this aspect of the market. This compares with $2.2 million for the second half of fiscal year 2012 and $4.6 million for the first half of fiscal year 2012. The current forecast assumes no significant change in market conditions for the remainder of this half year.
