How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. If everplay group doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.
