The profit result for the current period was impacted by the extreme volatility in the nickel price between July and September 2007. The final nickel prices for April to June of 2007 were established during July to September, and the recognition in the current period of these provisional pricing adjustments reduced the headline profit number from an excellent $39.7 million (Dec 2006: $37.2 million). The net profit translated into earnings per share of 15.6 cents (Dec 2006: 19.0 cents).
at $3.35 MCR are on a current PE of about 10.4 where as they were on around 6.5 or so before this announcement. MArket Cap around $650 mill.
