Gooch & Housego plc provided earnings guidance for the first half of the year to March 31, 2016. Revenue in the first half of the year, to 31 March 2016, is expected to be broadly in line with last year. First half profits are anticipated to be materially lower than the record period last year, due to the impact of the previously described mixed market conditions and costs associated with a more protracted move to Fremont.
