SDL plc provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the period, the company’s continuing operations revenue and PBTA (profit before taxation, amortization of intangible assets and one-off costs) are both expected to be slightly ahead of market expectations. Whilst there has been some foreign exchange tailwind at the top line, because a large proportion of costs are denominated in foreign currencies, the PBTA margin % is anticipated to be in line with market expectations. Good progress continues to be made in executing the new strategic plan. All businesses have performed well, with strengthened recurring and repeat revenues evidenced. The 2016 outcome represents a sound underlying performance, underpinned by SDL's strong customer relationships, delivered during a period of ongoing investment, organizational change and transition.
