Also what I was thinking..

pretty happy with the update!!!
no doubt this has been discussed a lot, but totally makes sense to use the adjusted NPAT figure - that is the actual profit from operations generated in this financial year, before they repaid $67.6million in wage subsidies that was received during the previous financial yEAR.
So $160 Million NPAT is the real figure.
Also, management said they will be paying "at least 70% of the group's full year adjusted net profit" as dividends, which at $160 million NPAT will be "at least" $112 million+ in dividends this year, which means at current share price the gross dividend yield is 9.4%.
very happy with the update , big margins should mean big dividends
Group gross profit margin was 35.5% for Q3 FY21, up 295 basis points on Q3 FY20 and up 196 basis points on Q3 FY19. Group gross profit margin for the year to date ended 2 May 2021 was 36.0%, up 267 basis points on the same period last year, and up 320 basis points on the same period in FY19.
i think its cheap at 7.5 p/e with attractive div yield and scope for bigger dividends based on there strong margins.
If we include the Feb special dividend in the planned 70% dividend distribution of adj-NPAT, then end of financial year dividend will be at least 18c per share for a total of 36c in dividends paid for the entire year. Potentially higher.
Good strong update, very happy with that. $160m looks very conservative...good that some companies know how to be conservative. Looking forward to a guidance upgrade in due course.
