The management of Methven stated that the purchase of Chinese premium tap ware supplier /manufacturer invention Sanitary remains on track for completion on and is expected to deliver US$2 million NPAT per annum from September 2014. The management also stated that they are confident about the increase in demand of MVN’s products but also acknowledges the fact that improvement in trading revenues has been slow and will take some time to recover back to its pre GFC level. Methven has also invested in research for an advanced showering system which is in track for launch in all its key markets in early 2015.
Overall the management believes that the group revenue and earnings growth will remain modest in FY2015. The first half growth will be impacted by AUD currency headwind and the high sell-in that created overstocks in the first half of FY2014.
