The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

To properly understand Abéo's profit results, we need to consider the €2.1m expense attributed to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect Abéo to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal.
