Consensus Estimates
To promote transparency, the Company invites registered sell-side analysts who monitor the Company’s securities to submit their estimates, in respect of each financial reporting period, to an external web-based tool independently managed by Vuma.
The consensus figure for a particular item represents the arithmetic mean of all figures for that item submitted to Vuma by analysts who chose to participate (the participants may not necessarily be the same analysts who contributed to previous consensus estimates). No analyst who has updated and entered their estimate into Vuma has been excluded from the aggregate consensus figures, except for data that, contains a material error or is materially out of date. The consensus figures are current as at the date specified on the Vuma website and are not updated after that date.
The consensus figures reflect the opinions of third party analysts who do not have access to the Company’s internal forecasts, budgets or any other information which is not publicly available. The consensus figures are not based on the Company’s opinions, estimates or forecasts and are compiled and published without comment from, or endorsement or verification by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company does not accept any liability whatsoever for any reliance placed upon, or actions taken based on, any of the information set out in the consensus figures. The Company, its directors and employees do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information set out in the consensus figures, assume no liability whatsoever in relation to the consensus figures and undertake no obligation to update, revise or supplement the consensus figures.
The consensus figures are forward looking in nature and as such are speculative and rely on assumptions and events in the future, which may or may not occur. Prospective investors should be aware of the risks in placing undue reliance on prospective financial information.
The Company makes no comment about its forecast performance. The Company’s actual performance for the period is not yet known and may differ from the consensus figures.
A link to the consensus figures is not intended to, nor does it, constitute the provision of financial product advice. Before making an investment decision, a prospective investor should seek appropriate professional advice tailored to their specific investment objectives, financial situation and needs. Any investment in securities is subject to investment risks.
