verstehe ich garnicht, dass es zu so einer kleinen, aber feinen aktie noch keinen thread gibt. was macht stanley gibbons?
sie kaufen und verkaufen briefmarken , und das sehr erfolgreich.
hier die hp: www.stanleygibbons.com
ansässig auf den engl. inseln mit über 100-jähriger tradition. der börsengang war erst im jahr 2002. seitdem hat sich der kurs in etwa verzehnfacht.
noch ein kleiner link zu den extrem überzeugenden halbjahreszahlen:

das management hält eine erhebliche postion an aktien des unternehmens.
stanley gibbons wollen die ersten sein, die einen fonds auf briefmarken auflegen. wie weit das vorhaben gediehen ist, kann ich im moment nicht beantworten, da ich ehrlich gesagt die hp ein wenig unübersichtlich finde.
ausserdem verkauft stanley gibbons neben briefmarken auch autographs, also signierte gegenstände von stars, wie etwa ein filmplakat oder plattencover. irgendwo auf der hp war auch eine tabelle mit der wertentwicklung dieser gegenstände, sucht selbst...
manche investieren in teure weine, andere in kunst. jedoch scheint sich das investieren in teure briefmarken in england durchaus auszuzahlen. man beachte den SG100 index, der deutlich besser abschnitt als der ftse. vor allen dingen gab es keinen einbruch beim SG100 wie beim footsie im bärenmarkt von 2000-2002. wie es scheint, ergeben sich durch das internet ganz neue möglichkeiten für stanley gibbons. die besuche auf der hp wachsen rasant an.
es gibt ein aktienoptionsprogramm, wo immer wieder mal 50tausend aktien zugelassen werden. stanleygibbons hat etwa 25 mio. aktien ausgegeben. die marktkapitalisierung liegt bei bescheidenen 39 mio engl. pfund.
das 2te halbjahr war bisher immer deutlichst stärker als das erste halbjahr- wenn ich von 4 pence zum halbjahr ausgehe und konservativ 9 pence für das gesamtjahr an gewinn annehme, dann kommt man auf ein kgv von etwa 16-17 (nur ein circawert). jedoch wächst das unternemhen seit jahren in umsatz und gewinn im 2-stelligen bereich, so dass ich persönlich erwarte, dass deutlich mehr verdient wird als die 9 pence. die halbjahreszahlen weisen zumindest darauf hin.
umsatz:2003: 8,6 mio/ 04: 10 mio/ 05: 13,6 mio
gewinn 2003: 3,6pence/ 04: 13,1pence(5 pence)/ 05: 9 pence
beim gewinn in 2004 muss der verkauf der provide commerce rausgerechnet werden. dann wären wir bei etwa 5 pence gewinn in 2004.

der kurs in england steht bei 155 pence. das sind umgerechnet 2,28 euro. wer die möglichkeit hat in england zu ordern, sollte dies tun.
börse berlin-bremen sind in solchen sachen echte abzocker. unter der woche stellen sie einen spread von 6-7%, das ist fast schon kriminell.

es gibt natürlich auch ne dividende und zwar 2-mal im jahr. im april und im september. für dieses jahr bekam ich 3,5 pence. die dividende im september wurde erhöht von 1 auf 1,5 pence.
für nächstes jahr steht auch wieder eine dividendenerhöhung auf dem plan.
die divirendite liegt damit beim aktuellen kurs bei über 2% bezogen auf die dividende dies jahr.
fürs nächste jahr erwarte ich eine dividendenanhebung auf mindestens 4 pence. so ist es zumindest kommuniziert. das wäre dann eine dividendenrendite von etwa 2,5%. tendenz weiter steigend die nächsten jahre, wie gehabt.

diese anfrage habe ich bei gibbons gestellt:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to present myself as a stockholder of your company and to
advise I enjoy watching the positive development of your company.
Today
I would like to ask you about the development and the placement of the
Worldwide First Fund of Stamps. Has the fund already been placed and if
so, how much was raised at the time of the fundraising? How high are
the asset-based fees as well as management fees of this fund? Which are
the most expensive titles/stamps in the fund?
und diese antwort erhalten:
Dear Mr X,
Thank you for your email.
The Stanley Gibbons Rare Stamp Investment Fund created a great deal of interest worldwide. However the majority of those who expressed interest in investing wanted to see a track record. As this was the first fund in rare stamps it was not possible to provide one. It was therefore not possible to proceed with the fund on this basis.
Best wishes,
Richard Purkis

A truly alternative investment
Channel Island company Stanley Gibbons offers a commodity that, by weight, can be the most valuable in the world
PHILATELY, the hobby of stamp collecting, is known as the 'hobby of Kings'. George V was an avid stamp collector, famous for spending an hour a day with his collection. His 1904 purchase of the Mauritius two pence blue for £1,450 set a new record for a single stamp. The same Mauritius stamp today would cost £550,000.
A courtier asked if he had seen that 'some damned fool had paid as much as £1,400 for one stamp'. 'Yes.' George replied, 'I was that damned fool.'
Experts believe The Royal Philatelic Collection is now valued at £400m, making it the Queen's largest single private asset.
The collections of King Faruk of Egypt, Czar Nikolaus III of Russia, and King Carol II of Romania are also well documented.
In 1937 King Carol, also known as 'the playboy King', purchased a Swedish stamp, the Treskilling Yellow,' for £5,000. King Carol left Romania soon after in 1940 for exile - in a train laden with Royal treasure. The train contained paintings by Old Masters such as Titian, Rubens, and Rembrandt. Reportedly hundreds of canvasses, jewels, and even the armour that had decorated the walls of the royal palaces. And of course his prized stamp collection - at the time one of the most famous and most valuable in the world.
A death squad of the Romanian fascist party Iron Guard legionnaires fired fiercely on the Royal train near the Yugoslavian border but failed to stop it. The King and his mistress lay on the floor and escaped injury from the bullets.
The Treskilling Yellow has subsequently become the world's most expensive stamp, and also the most valuable commodity on earth by weight. It was last sold for $2.3m, equating to $86 billion per kilogram.
Another major world rarity is the 1856 1¢ magenta from British Guiana which was purchased in 1980 by Mr John E DuPont for $US935,000. Mr DuPont, the eccentric heir to the US chemical fortune, was sentenced in 1997 to 40 years incarceration for the 1996 slaying of Olympic wrestler David Schultz.
The present whereabouts of the 1¢ magenta is unknown, but is believed to be in a bank vault in Philadelphia. When this stamp next comes on the market it is anyone's guess as to its realisation. Mr DuPont is now 65 years old and is still incarcerated.
Many of the world's wealthiest families have recognised the benefits of storing part of their wealth in a rare stamp portfolio. The DuPont's, Rothschild's and lately Warren Buffet and Bill Gross, the American bond guru and inflation expert, have all had significant holdings of rare stamps. Bill Gross is estimated to have invested in excess of £50m in the past five years.
The rare stamp market represents a compelling form of alternative investment. Providing sufficient due diligence is undertaken, a rare stamp portfolio can offer attractive returns and low correlations with other assets. The market is by nature supply constrained. There are only so many top quality rarities available. A growing interest in the product should support rising prices over the medium to long term.
Stanley Gibbons are recognised as the largest, most famous stamp dealers in the world. The Stanley Gibbons share price, listed on the Alternative Investment Market on the London Stock Exchange, has shown steady increases from 18.5p to 148.5p in three years. This is as a result of increased profits as the stamp market has become more buoyant.
Gibbons quote that they have recruited over 23,000 new customers in the past two years. This is an impressive number of new customers for what would normally be considered a small niche market.
Adrian Roose, a director at Stanley Gibbons (Guernsey) Limited explains: 'The worldwide population is getting older and more people of a certain age are resuming childhood hobbies.
'Our ideal demographic is the 50+ age group. According to the British Government Actuary Department the 50+ age group is the only growth consumer market for the next 20 years.
'The interest in rare stamps is also a global interest; we have customers all around the world. There was an influx of wealthy Russians five years ago, and we expect similar from China.'
Indeed ten per cent of Stanley Gibbons's two million website hits come from the emerging Chinese market where it is one of few Western sites without censorship. Such a huge interest for a limited supply product offers the investor an excellent diversification from mainstream investments which have been suffering of late.
These figures are confirmed by the Financial Times, which states that in the UK over 50,000 people celebrate their 50th birthday every month; the figure is a massive 10,000 a day for the next 20 years in the USA.
The world is indeed getting older and niche market businesses are benefiting. Take Hornby for example, which sold over 100,000 model train sets to over-50s last Christmas.
Possibly the most compelling reason for investing in rare stamps is as an inflation hedge. During the last period of high inflation in the 1970s rare stamp prices rose over 600% in a decade. Unlike fixed income investments, the price of rare stamps rises in line with general economic growth and inflation as investors look for tangible assets in times of economic uncertainty.
Add to this an existing database of 30,000,000 stamp collectors worldwide underpinning your investment, plus an estimated 18,000,000 in the emerging China market, and you'll start to see the benefits of rare stamp investment.
So, how do you build a rare stamp investment portfolio? Mr Roose said: 'Focus on quality items with a proven record. As with all antiques, the top quality items consistently outperform those with any type of fault.
The waiting list to join our rare stamp investment programmes is currently four weeks. And the key word here is 'rare'. Of the 3,000,000 stamps Stanley Gibbons has in stock at the moment, only 128 are offered for investment. That will give you an idea of the rarity of the stamps included in our portfolios.'

Gibts eigentlich ne Dividende?
- ja die gibt es -
- zusätzlich werden aktien zurückgekauft
THE STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP LIMITED ('Stanley Gibbons' or 'the Company') AGM TRADING STATEMENT and DIRECTORATE CHANGE At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in Jersey this morning all the resolutions proposed were duly passed, including the Special Resolution authorising the Company to purchase up to 15% of its issued share capital in the market for cancellation and the Ordinary Resolution approving The Stanley Gibbons Group Limited 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Commenting on current trading, the Chairman, Paul Fraser, issued the following statement: 'We have had a strong start to the year, with unaudited trading results for the first quarter being an improvement on the exceptional comparable figure for the first quarter of 2006 and in line with expectations. Customer recruitment and international sales continue to be strong, strengthening the consistency and longevity of our profit-streams. This provides us with an ever-widening revenue base which assists in protecting us from any downside in any one particular area of our business or geographical region from a trade or currency perspective. It is encouraging that sales to the United States are growing, even on the back of a weak dollar. As previously reported, we had nearly 3 million unique visitors to our internet sites last year. This medium is delivering ever-increasing sales, cost-effective customer recruitment and exposure of the Stanley Gibbons brand both in the predominantly English-speaking countries of the world but now also giving us penetration and exposure to developing areas (in particular the so-called BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China). Stamps are an ideal internet and mail order product, easily portable and highly valuable and a useful currency and alternative asset class on a global basis. We have been successful in the first quarter in increasing our purchasing levels of rare philatelic material. The strength of our current stockholding puts us in a strong position to be able to satisfy rising levels of demand within the worldwide stamp market. We continue to raise our own expectations; there is plenty to play for, and we are confident that 2007 is one more step along the way in our profitable development as a Group. The Company's final dividend of 2.5p net per share will be paid to Shareholders on 23 April 2007 and our interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2007 will be announced on 3 August 2007. Directorate Change The Stanley Gibbons Group Limited announces today that Paul Fraser has informed the Board of his intention to step down as Chairman and as a member of the Board of the Company by the end of the year. Mr Fraser has served as Chairman of the Company since it's demerger in 2000, having been involved with the Stanley Gibbons business since 1989. Mr Fraser said: 'By the end of this year I will have chaired the Board for seven years and have been involved in the collectibles business for 30 years. I therefore feel that it is an appropriate time to move on to pastures new. Stanley Gibbons has a clear strategy with an excellent management team and I am making my intentions known to the Board in good time to allow it to run an orderly succession process' The process to appoint Mr Fraser's successor will be led by the Board's Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

THE STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP LIMITED ('Stanley Gibbons' or 'the Company') AGM TRADING STATEMENT and DIRECTORATE CHANGE At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in Jersey this morning all the resolutions proposed were duly passed, including the Special Resolution authorising the Company to purchase up to 15% of its issued share capital in the market for cancellation and the Ordinary Resolution approving The Stanley Gibbons Group Limited 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Commenting on current trading, the Chairman, Paul Fraser, issued the following statement: 'We have had a strong start to the year, with unaudited trading results for the first quarter being an improvement on the exceptional comparable figure for the first quarter of 2006 and in line with expectations. Customer recruitment and international sales continue to be strong, strengthening the consistency and longevity of our profit-streams. This provides us with an ever-widening revenue base which assists in protecting us from any downside in any one particular area of our business or geographical region from a trade or currency perspective. It is encouraging that sales to the United States are growing, even on the back of a weak dollar. As previously reported, we had nearly 3 million unique visitors to our internet sites last year. This medium is delivering ever-increasing sales, cost-effective customer recruitment and exposure of the Stanley Gibbons brand both in the predominantly English-speaking countries of the world but now also giving us penetration and exposure to developing areas (in particular the so-called BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China). Stamps are an ideal internet and mail order product, easily portable and highly valuable and a useful currency and alternative asset class on a global basis. We have been successful in the first quarter in increasing our purchasing levels of rare philatelic material. The strength of our current stockholding puts us in a strong position to be able to satisfy rising levels of demand within the worldwide stamp market. We continue to raise our own expectations; there is plenty to play for, and we are confident that 2007 is one more step along the way in our profitable development as a Group. The Company's final dividend of 2.5p net per share will be paid to Shareholders on 23 April 2007 and our interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2007 will be announced on 3 August 2007. Directorate Change The Stanley Gibbons Group Limited announces today that Paul Fraser has informed the Board of his intention to step down as Chairman and as a member of the Board of the Company by the end of the year.

INTERIM REPORT FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
The Company today announces its Interim Results for the six months to 30 June
2007. Highlights include:
• Profit before tax up 25% at £1,704,000 (2006: £1,361,000)
• Earnings per share up 30% to 5.16p (2006: 3.97p)
• Sales up 16% to £8,819,000 (2006: £7,623,000)
• Autograph and memorabilia sales increased by 52% with a greater
appreciation by investors of the potential returns from the market in
autographs and memorabilia
• Interim dividend declared of 1.75p net per Ordinary Share (2006: 1.5p
net per Ordinary Share), representing an increase of 17%, payable on 17
September 2007 to all holders on the Register at the close of business on 17
August 2007
• Sales of £1,077,000 (12.2%) made to customers recruited from our
websites compared to £766,000 (10%) of sales in the prior period
Commenting on current trading, Paul Fraser, Chairman said:
"This is our 13th consecutive increase in profits that we have announced to the
market since our demerger in 2000 from Flying Brands. We have increased our
levels of premium grade material in both stamps and autographs in the first half
in order to supply the ever increasing demand. We intend focusing resources into
stock and the necessary expertise to prepare for the next level of growth and to
fully implement our plans.
These are exciting times for collectibles and Stanley Gibbons is now in the
forefront of the market, although we still represent less than 1%. So we look
forward to the second half and the implementation of further initiatives that we
have planned that should continue to help us to outperform."

Chairman's Statement
Financials
I am very pleased to report yet another record result for The Stanley Gibbons
Group Limited. Profit before tax for the period was £1,704,000 (2006:
£1,361,000), representing an increase of 25.2% on what was an exceptionally
strong half year performance in the prior year. Turnover increased by 15.7% to
£8,819,000 (2006: £7,623,000).
Earnings per Ordinary Share for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were 5.16p
(2006: 3.97p) representing an increase of 30%, which benefit further from
profits attributable to new business in Guernsey being taxable at the lower rate
of 20%.
Dividend
The Company paid a final dividend of 2.5p net per Ordinary Share, in respect of
the year ended 31 December 2006, on 23 April 2007. Your Board is pleased to
declare an interim dividend of 1.75p (2006: 1.5p) net per Ordinary Share,
representing an increase of 16.7%, payable on 17 September 2007 to holders of
Ordinary Shares on the Register at the close of business on the record date of
17 August 2007. The proposed dividend of 1.75p net per Ordinary share is
expected to result in a distribution to shareholders of £440,000 (2006:
£376,000).
Outlook
Premium quality and rarity in collectibles is now being appreciated in a way
that was never envisaged by most, but carefully followed by a few astute
collectors and investors. The difference in appreciation and pricing between
grades at the higher level is now much greater than a consistent percentage step
that was applied in the past. In the United States, grading of coins, stamps and
autographs is gaining pace and the uplift in the pricing model reflects the new
grades, the transparency of the pricing accorded to those grades, and gives
collectors and investors greater comfort in knowing the true authenticity and
price of each individual item and hence creating a more liquid market.
This bodes well for Stanley Gibbons as we have always restricted ourselves to
the higher grade of material available and we have suffered from competitors
grading their material at the supposed same level, when clearly it was not.
This should give us yet another competitive edge in the market and, by our
involvement in this grading process in the United Kingdom, give us access to a
greater pool of expertise and pricing knowledge and strengthen our brand by
association. This is a very exciting development for Stanley Gibbons and should
deskill to a certain degree the process of buying and selling, making it more
transparent to all, and something that can be relied upon as a guarantee to
collectors and investors alike. We have always believed, as part of our
strategy, that prices should rise and there should be some reduction in margins
but there should be a huge increase in sales and Stanley Gibbons should
accelerate its increase in market share, which is still well below 1% of the
annual global market.
We maintain that the key factor is buying the right stock, at the right price,
and keeping up with the quantity needed to satisfy the increasing demand. We
have clients' wants lists of over £15 million and a business need for a further
£10+ million per year.
I am pleased to report that our stock levels are higher at the half year,
especially at the top end, and we are on course in reducing stocks of middle and
lower price items. It has been an excellent performance in all areas of the
Group in the first half and we are focusing resources on the high growth areas
that we have identified, particularly rare stamps and autographs, and developing
our auction business. We are also looking for the right acquisitions and
strategic partnerships as part of our long-term plan.
Stakeholders
I would like to thank all my colleagues for their endeavours and their
contribution to keeping the strategy fully on track.

Audited Results for the year ended 31 December 2007
The Stanley Gibbons Group Limited, incorporating Stanley Gibbons, Fraser's
Autographs and Collector Cafe today announced its audited results for the year
ended 31 December 2007.
Highlights
• Adjusted profit before tax, excluding exceptional operating costs, was
£4.62m, up 23%. Profit before tax up 20% to £4.51m (2006: £3.75m).
• Adjusted earnings per share, excluding exceptional operating costs, were
13.83p, up 25%.
• Earnings per share of 13.46p (2006: 11.07p) up 22%.
• Sales up 21% to £20.2m (2006: £16.7m)
• Bank and cash balances at 31 December 2007 of circa £3.0m (2006: same)
• Recommended final dividend of 2.75p net per share, giving a total net
dividend for the year of 4.5p (2006: 4p net per share) up 13%
• Sales of £3.6m (18%) made to customers recruited from our websites
compared to £1.65m (10%) of sales in the prior year.
• Approaching 4 million website visits in 2007, up over 40% on the prior
year
• Autograph and memorabilia sales increased by almost 40% following the
successful development of rare historical signatures as an alternative
investment
• Increased investment in stockholding of high value rarities facilitating
an increase in trading at the top end of the market which supports future
growth
Mike Hall, Chief Executive commented:
"2007 was another excellent year's trading with profits up by over 20%. We
continued to grow organically whilst maintaining our financial resources and
without any acquisitions.
Stanley Gibbons has a clear comparative advantage in our markets - we are the
biggest brand in our field yet still command only a small market share. Our aim
remains to bring the fragmented world of collectibles to one location online
through use of our popular websites. Collectibles as an asset class are growing
and tighter economic conditions are resulting in an increasing number of
investors turning to our products as a means of protecting their wealth by
diversifying their asset holdings.
Increasing demand for our investment products, coupled with a better quality
stockholding, place us in a strong position as we start 2008 with an increased
momentum."

Chairman's Statement
After just four months as your Board's Chairman it is a great pleasure to
present to Shareholders yet another year of exceedingly good results,
maintaining the growth momentum in the Group's businesses. The Senior executive
team has fulfilled the expectations of the Board for 2007. These results
illustrate both the Group's sound strategy and also its well managed execution.
The outcome is 2007 achieving record results.
Financial Performance
Turnover increased to £20.2 million, an increase of more than one-fifth over the
preceding year, and profit before tax grew in line with turnover, and before
exceptional charges, rose by almost one-quarter to £4.6 million.
Earnings per share at 13.46 pence were 22% up on the preceding year, once again
in line with the other measures of profit.
Your Board is conscious of the need to retain adequate liquid resources, with
cash balances held steady at just over £3 million, underpinning the Group's
ability to fund further growth in its business without being constrained by lack
of liquidity.
Dividend
As a consequence of all the above, your Board is pleased to recommend to
Shareholders, for approval at the forthcoming AGM, a final dividend of 2.75
pence per share (net of Jersey tax) which would produce a total dividend out of
2007 earnings of 4.5 pence (net of Jersey tax), an increase of 13% over 2006.
The Board's progressive dividend policy is maintained, with dividend more than
three times covered by earnings in 2007 compared with 2.75 times in 2006, having
had regard to projected cash flow requirements in 2008 and beyond.
Outlook
Collectibles as a potential Savings and Wealth Management asset class are
growing. As they continue to be more fully recognised as an "alternative"
investment, your Company is well positioned to participate in this growth in
value and volume terms. Even now, our stamp and autograph indices are available
on Bloomberg information terminals for institutional investors. A small increase
in acceptance by institutional investors would make a significant positive
impact on the growth potential of our businesses.
We have continued to increase our inventories of high-end quality stamps and
autographs. Such investment will support the future growth we anticipate. We are
also particularly pleased that we have significantly reduced our low value and
slow moving inventory items which has been achieved through the development of a
number of successful trading relationships during the year, facilitating an
increase in trade sales at acceptable margins. This combination, coupled with a
faster inventory turnover, gives us a very strong potential to fuel the
increased momentum to earn profits more consistently across the entire year.
The more rapid turnover of major items gives confidence to all our customers,
collectors and investors, and the market as a whole. We still have a potential
business clients' "wants list" of over £12 million of rare items they are
seeking.
Stock holding is clearly an important part of our strategy to allocate resources
to areas of our business experiencing faster growth and where we believe we can
add value. This is in parallel with investment in the structure and recruiting
the key personnel which will enable this strategy to be fully implemented.
We have successfully added to our network of agents and Independent Financial
Advisers around the world, which has increased both our sales and brand
awareness on an international basis. Sales to overseas customers were nearly 10%
on last year and represented two in five sales by value.
Our internet sites are still seeing exponential growth in visitor numbers and we
are developing our sites to include landing pages in various key languages,
especially those of strong emerging markets of the "BRIC" countries.
The new Guernsey office had an exceptional year and confirmed the wisdom of our
decision to open it in August 2006. We are looking at other opportunities to
repeat this, possibly in Jersey and other places.
There is great trust and awareness of our brand and we are always looking at
ways to improve our products and services to fully capitalise on this and I am
delighted to confirm continuation of our Royal Warrant until 2013.
In summary, we are attracting more customers in a very cost effective way,
increasing total sales, average order values and frequency of purchase - four
prerequisites for success in our businesses.
Board
The year since our previous Annual Report saw a number of changes to your Board.
First, I must record the Board's appreciation of the leadership of Paul Fraser
during his longstanding association with the business up to him stepping down in
August 2007.
Secondly, our thanks to Bob Henkhuzens in succeeding Paul Fraser as Interim
Chairman and continuing the seamless progress of the business during 2007, along
with the other Board members, as well as chairing the Audit Committee.
Since joining the Board, and as Chairman of its Nominations Committee, I
proposed that the Board's corporate governance would be strengthened by the
addition of a further Independent Director and Sir Michael Wilkes was appointed
in early 2008. Following this the composition of the various Board Committees
was reviewed, with Sir Michael taking the chair of the Remuneration Committee.
Your Board is now well balanced and capable of fulfilling its role in the
development of the Company and its businesses and I am grateful for their
support.
Stakeholders
I would also like to thank all our colleagues in the Group for their hard work
and contribution. They have a combination of skills, knowledge and experience
that are key drivers behind the success shown consistently in recent years. I
also extend my gratitude to other stakeholders associated with our activities
who have supported our continued growth and look forward to meeting Shareholders
at the forthcoming AGM on 23 April 2008.

STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP LIMITED
8 AUGUST 2008
THE STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP LIMITED
("the Company" or "the Group")
INTERIM REPORT FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2008
The Company today announces its Interim Results for the six months to 30 June 2008.
Highlights
*
Adjusted profit before tax, excluding exceptional operating costs, of £1.9m, up 11%. Profit before tax up 6% to £1.81m (2007: £1.7m).
*
Adjusted earnings per share, excluding exceptional operating costs, of 6.68p, up nearly 30%.
*
Interim dividend declared of 2p net per share (2007: 1.75p net per share), representing an increase of 14%, payable on 22 September 2008 to all holders on the Register at the close of business on 22 August 2008
*
Sales up 12% to £9.8m (2007: £8.8m).
*
Sales of £2.37m (24% of total sales) made to customers recruited from our websites compared to £1.08m (12%) of sales in the prior period
*
Strong investment in our stockholding of high value rarities providing the potential to deliver sustained growth in the second half of the year
*
The latest annual update in the GB30 Rarities Stamp Price index showed an increase of 39%.
Martin Bralsford, Non-Executive Chairman commented:
"I am delighted that in the first six months of the financial year we have delivered solid profit growth whilst devoting significant resource and expense to invest in our longer term growth opportunities.
The benefits of investing in collectibles as an alternative asset class have never been clearer. Collecting is an all-consuming passion. That is why the prices of rare stamps and historical signatures show no correlation with the stock market, property prices and other traditional forms of investment. Historically collectibles have increased the most in times of high inflation. The investment argument is fast becoming too compelling to ignore - not only do rare stamps and historical signatures provide a means of diversification and a safe haven in difficult economic conditions, but also provide a hedge against inflation.
Based on the strength of the strategy, current market conditions and the business opportunities available in the second half, your Board is confident that 2008 will be another strong year for the Company."
