And they other money over a longer period apparently. It's not all bank loans.

Debt was going to mature in Nov 2012.
By mature, I guess that means pay up time or refinance onto another deal. New bank deal now has debt maturing in 2015. Hence the phrase 'much improved maturity profile'. |

Nothing too commital here, but at least no bad news headlines. If "trading in line with expectations" means that the turn around of the company in first half of 2012 is progressing well, then I will be happy, if not amazed.
Can anyone explain the meaning of the phrase "much improved maturity profile of its debt." please? |

Wincanton International is a subsidiary of the listed entity.
Proceeds will help debt position. Next year is the new dawn for Wincanton as a UK & Ireland business going forward with less debt, higher margins, albeit on a reduced turnover. The Wincanton website: www.wincanton.co.uk it's all there under Investors section 2011/12 full year will be bad due to write downs, exceptionals, etc. etc. but looks like most happened in first half. November 2012 - first half year results for the new Wincanton should be the turning point if all goes to plan. |
