Had these on my watch list when they were tipped in a newspaper a couple of months ago at about 1.20.

Todays fall looks a bit overdone so I have bought a few at 57p

"Price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com said Q3 has been the strongest trading quarter this year as trading levels have continued to stabilise.

In its interim management statement for the period from 1 July, the group said its performance in the third quarter and year to date is in line with management expectations.

Trading in the first few weeks of Q4, typically the group's weakest period, has been 'at least consistent with the trends seen in Q3'. The outcome for the year as a whole remains in line with its expectations.

Internet revenues were about 15% below Q3 2008 and 15% ahead of the H1 run rate. The group said the third quarter is typically a period of higher offline media spend. As indicated at the interims, EBITDA was approximately 5% ahead of the H1 run rate, but with margins slightly ahead of the same quarter last year. "

Moneysupermarket.com said its financial performance in the third quarter and year to date were in line with management expectations.

In its IMS for the period from July 1, the group said Internet revenues were 11% ahead of the same period last year as it continued to benefit from site launches in Money and Insurance earlier in the year.

EBITDA was 16% ahead for the same period.

Increased visitor numbers in Insurance and Home Services offset reductions in Money and Travel.

In Money, revenues were 19% ahead of Q3 2009 on visitor volumes 10% lower. Credit card revenues were particularly strong, driven by improving product availability from providers and the launch of a new credit card site earlier in the year.

Weaker visitor numbers partly reflected action to step away from a number of unprofitable portal partner relationships together with continued low levels of consumer confidence, particularly impacting the group's credit-related channels.

Insurance revenues were 13% ahead of Q3 2009 and visitor volumes 8% ahead. The group saw growth across all of its major lines including motor, home, travel and life insurance.

Travel revenues were 6% down on visitor volumes that fell by a similar proportion. Work had begun on an improved travel website to launch in Q1 2011.

Home Services revenues were 9% down on Q3 2009 and visitor volumes increased by 24%.

The group said trading in the first few weeks of the fourth quarter had been strong, with revenues remaining more than 10% ahead of the same period last year. The outcome for the year remained in line with management expectations.

Nice push upwards recently.

StockMarketWire.com
Comparative website operator Moneysupermarket.com Group plc said in an IMS that it has been trading well ahead of a relatively weak period at the start of last year, in line with expectations.

Internet revenues for the first quarter were 22% ahead, excluding contributions from Financial Services Net, with visitor numbers up 13%.

EBITDA was well ahead of the same period last year and around 25% up on the H1 2010 run rate.

CEO Peter Plumb said in a statement ahead of the group's AGM, 'Moneysupermarket.com has made a strong start to 2011, building on the momentum from a great performance last year when we saved our customers 750m.

'We continue to lead our highly competitive market with our unparalleled breadth of product, our unique brand and our strong relationships with providers.'

The group remained confident that its programme of continued investment in technology and brand would ensure further good progress this year.

Revenues in the Money vertical were 28% ahead of last year. Visitor volumes were fractionally ahead, reversing the declines seen in 2010.

Insurance revenues were 24% ahead, growing fastest in home insurance and with strong growth in both motor and travel insurance. Visitor volumes were 20% higher.

Home Services revenues were 23% ahead, primarily due to an increase in utilities revenues.

The board remained confident of the group's prospects for the full year.

HARRYCAT - 08 Jul 2011 08:18 - 24 of 106

StockMarketWire.com
Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC the price comparison site, reveals that trading in the second quarter has been strong and consistent with the trends seen in the first quarter.

The Board expects adjusted half year revenues to be in the region of 88.3m and adjusted EBITDA to be approximately 22.8m, which are approximately 23% and 26% ahead of the same period last year respectively.(1)

Consistent with its strategy of driving higher-margin, direct-to-site revenues, the Group has continued to increase its investment in offline marketing, including the sponsorship of Britain's Got Talent in the second quarter to consolidate its position as a mainstream brand.

Consequently, and as expected, offline marketing expenditure in the first half of the year was approximately 50% ahead of the same period last year. The Group will continue to invest in its brand in the second half and launched a new campaign in the first week of July.

Offline marketing expenditure is therefore expected to continue to be ahead of the comparator period in the second half of the year. However, consistent with previous years, the absolute quantum of spend is likely to be lower than first half of the year reflecting lower expenditure levels in the fourth quarter.

The Group will recognise a one off credit of approximately 3.3m in the first half of the year, following reaching agreement in principle with HMRC relating to the VAT treatment of certain of the Group's supplies. The Group anticipates that there will be an ongoing benefit of approximately 0.5m per annum.

The Group's financial position remains strong. As at 30 June 2011 the Group had cash balances of 32.1m after the payment of a dividend of 12.9m in May 2011 and was debt free.
