The result is certainly poor when compared to analysts expectations. Does anyone have details of how the analysts calculated their forecasts, ie revenue, costs, interest, number of shares.

I cannot find anywhere where the company has previously forecast profit or eps for the full year, until the release of the half year results.

It looks like the analysts have been overly optimistic in terms of the growth rate and tax payable. I notice the forecasts drop for next year, probably due to a higher tax rate, but the company is using a higher rate for the first half.
