Card Factory said Monday that its first-half performance was ahead of management’s expectations and that it now expects the full year to be materially ahead of its previous expectations. The greeting card, gift and celebration product retailer didn’t provide any figures. However, pretax profit consensus for fiscal 2024 is 51.6 million pounds ($65.8 million), taken from FactSet and based on four analysts’ forecasts. This compares with GBP52.4 million for the year ended Jan. 31. Revenue consensus is GBP499.5 million compared with GBP463.4 million.

Clarkson PLC said pretax profit rose for the first half, when revenue was boosted by a strong performance at the broking segment, and that the board’s expectations for the year are unchanged. The London-listed provider of shipping services said Monday that pretax profit was 52.2 million pounds ($66.5 million) compared with GBP42 million a year earlier, while revenue rose to GBP321.1 million from GBP266.7 million. Clarkson said the broking team delivered a strong first half with standout performances from the tanker, specialized product, gas, offshore and sale and purchase sectors. The company said divisional profit rose to GBP58.2 million from GBP47 million, which reflected a 22.6% margin, compared with 22.3% the year before. “Our broking team remains the biggest driver to profit, and we remain keen to hire and develop good people across all areas of this business,” Chairman Laurence Hollingworth said. The company said fleet supply growth remained relatively constrained as the new-build order book focused on containers and gas carriers left the tanker and dry bulk order books at historically low levels. The board declared an interim dividend of 30 pence a share, up from 29 pence the year before.

Siemens Energy expects its net loss to widen significantly in fiscal 2023 as mounting challenges at its troubled wind-turbine business will lead to costs of 2.2 billion euros ($2.42 billion).

The German energy company on Monday said that its net loss should be around EUR4.5 billion in the fiscal year, from previous expectations that it would exceed the prior year’s level of EUR712 million by up to a low triple-digit million amount. The profit margin before special items is seen at between minus 10% and minus 8% compared with a previous range of around the low end of plus 1% to 3%.

Comparable revenue growth is expected between 9% and 11% from 10% to 12% previously, while free cash flow pretax is seen up to a negative low triple-digit million amount compared with previous expectations of up to a low triple-digit million amount.

Siemens Energy said challenges at its wind-turbine business Siemens Gamesa are mainly due to quality issues of the 4.X and 5.X onshore platforms, with expenses amounting to EUR1.6 billion. The main part of the expected repair costs for platforms is expected in fiscal 2024 and 2025.

The unit also expects to see increased product costs and ramp-up challenges in the offshore business, leading to additional charges of EUR600 million. The cash outflow resulting from these burdens will be spread over several years and amount to a low two-to-three-digit million sum in the current year, it said.

Last year, Siemens Energy launched a takeover bid for the shares it didn’t already own in its wind-turbine business in order to deal with the loss-making subsidiary’s operational and financial challenges. Siemens Energy booked a quarterly net loss of EUR2.93 billion in the period ended June 30 from a loss of EUR564 million in the prior year, while the loss before special items amounted to EUR2.05 billion driven by charges at Siemens Gamesa.

Revenue rose to EUR7.51 billion in the third quarter from EUR7.28 billion, while orders jumped to EUR14.89 billion from EUR9.84 billion, mainly boosted by higher volume from large orders.

“Our third-quarter results demonstrate the challenges in turning around Siemens Gamesa,” said Chief Executive Officer Christian Bruch. “The strong performance of our other business areas gives me confidence in our company’s ability to put businesses back on a strong footing.”

The company said it is reviewing its current strategy and action plan for the wind business, and that it will release more information at the capital markets day in November.
