Count Financial is projecting an increase in earnings of “no less” than 17.5 per cent to $34 million for the full 2007-08 financial year based on the “current challenging market conditions”.
Executive chairman Barry Lambert said the dealer group is also projecting a half-year increase in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of 24 per cent to $15 million.
