Was expecting a bit better from these results given AUB and SDF but anyway still decent.

Upgraded guidance for NPATA of $83-87M - 1H was $37M NPATA so 2H would be $46M at lower range. Assuming a new run rate of NPATA of $92M.

$92M NPATA against EV of $1.9B (20x) and further growth ahead.

Still looks okay - maybe should have stuck with the bigger players SDF of AUB.

Will continue to hold.
