The half-year result, inclusive of only two months earnings from the eChoice and Domain Financial Services acquisitions of October last year, has led Firstfolio to provide full-year 2009 EBITDA guidance in the range of $4.5 and $5.5 million.
Mark Forsyth, Firstfolio chief executive said, “the group’s earnings are very pleasing, and reflect Firstfolio’s progress in developing a specialist national financial services distribution model of significant scale”.
