We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. Which is hardly surprising, given the name.

Our Take On Solborn's Profit Performance

As previously mentioned, Solborn's large boost from unusual items won't be there indefinitely, so its statutory earnings are probably a poor guide to its underlying profitability.

But at least holders can take some solace from the 14% EPS growth in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly.
