LONDON (ShareCast) - Teleset Networks, the Russian fixed-line telecoms operator, has upped its guidance for the year saying results will come in above expectations.

The group said it expects profit for the year ended 31 December 2006 to be above market expectations as it benefits from existing and new customers taking up broadband services.

Teleset added that the integration of TNPKO is progressing well adding that it expects economies of scale and synergies from the acquisition to materialise during the second half of 2007.

Staffline Recruitment, the recruitment group, says sales and profits for the full year will be in line with expectations and significantly ahead of last year, driven by its OnSite and industrial branch divisions.

“Staffline has delivered substantial growth compared to 2005, in line with expectations. We therefore remain confident of making continued progress in the current year and thereafter,” said managing director Andy Hogarth.

The group noted that its industrial branch division had performed strongly adding that it was hoping to announce a further two branch openings shortly together with new OnSite locations.

Dechra Pharmaceuticals announced it was making continued progress across all its businesses and said it was confident of meeting full year expectations.

The group added that it has secured UK marketing rights for four new generic products for the equine and small animal market sectors, the first of which it expects to launch within the current financial year.

Hydrogen Group, the specialist recruitment consultancy, announced today that it enjoyed a strong final quarter adding that its performance for the year matched its expectations.

“The underlying growth drivers of our business are robust, partly driven by legislation and regulatory change. As a result, we look forward to the current year with confidence,” said executive chairman Ian Temple.

1st Dental Laboratories, the dental laboratory services provider, announced today that its preliminary results for the year to November are expected to be in line with market expectations.

Surgical devices maker Surgical Innovations said it was “pleased to announce that results for the year ended 31 December 2006 are expected to be in line with market expectations.”
