Analyst comments: Challenger International revenue up 78.8%

March 5, 2002

Profit increase of 101.4%

CLI released its HY results reporting revenue up 78.8% to $283.2M and pre-amortisation profit up 101.4% to $109.3M. The company declared a 2.4c unfranked dividend.

Market remains cautious

The market remains cautious over the result however the company’s growth was driven by a strong market share. One dollar in three from long-term annuities is being spent on a challenger product. The company recognises up to 40% of an annuity sale as profit in year one.

Expects consistent sales volume and funds flow

CLI expects to see consistent sales volumes and funds flow in both annuities and funds management in H2. This period is also expected to be boosted by specialist annuity sales in the UK for the first time.

MMD: Placement of the "Artificial Heart" in situ. Clinical human trials to proceed later in the year. 
 
RBC: Has been disappointing lately - still waiting for developments. A long time ago, I devised a formula which took account of the FFS / FFSPA component and assets. This needs to be revised on an ongoing basis.
 
PTD: The USPTO has issued a "Notice of Allowance" or "Allowable Patent". Subject to final approval, the Final Patent  could be issued before August, this year.
 
LACO: The result of the TOLL - LAC railway tender was positive. Investors were well informed of the progress and its chance of success.
 
Congratulations to the decision makers who bought early! Renamed PRKO (Patrick options). Further option to acquire some Ansett freight assets cheaply
 
CLI: Many investors think that the value is there but the market has sofar disappointed! According to CLI's books, it would have a prospective P/E of about 4.8!
