Dewhurst plc announced earnings guidance for the financial year ending 30 September 2016. For the year, the company recovery reported at the interim stage has continued through the third quarter and into the fourth to date. Seasonal effects mean that the company's second half is traditionally stronger than the first half, but the effect is expected to be greater than usual this year. The combined effects of these factors mean that the Board now anticipate full year profits will be significantly higher than current market expectations.
