It is potentially tough times ahead for some defined benefit pension scheme sponsors. Our analysis of UK Profit Warnings show that listed businesses are expecting to feel the pain, which is also a useful read-across if your sponsoring employer is a private company: the sector trends and themes are equally relevant but may be harder to see. And for well-funded schemes: "low dependency is not no dependency" on the covenant. If the employer went bust a theoretically well-funded scheme may still have a tricky job meeting member benefits in full. See the full Profit Warning report below for the themes and issues, with thanks to guru Kirsten Tompkins.
📈 UK Profit Warnings hit two year high in Q3 2024 Our latest report shows a sharp rise, driven by renewed uncertainty, slowing order books, and challenges in tech and industrials. 📊 Key Insights: ➡️ 84 profit warnings in Q3 2024 - an 11% increase compared to last year. ➡️ Technology and industrial sectors saw some of the largest rises. ➡️ The ongoing rise highlights the forecasting challenges facing companies today. In today’s uncertain environment, it’s essential for companies and stakeholders to stay alert and proactively address emerging issues before they escalate. 🔗 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eauE78e6 #UKProfitWarnings #EYParthenon #ShapeTheFutureWithConfidence

To quote one of my favourite holiday films: "Did things just get better or worse?" In Q3, when we saw the spike in uncertainty-related profit warnings and in October, when we wrote this paper, we didn't know for sure what would be in the UK Budget and we obviously didn't know the result of the US election. These uncertainties are now resolved, but they bring new questions about the impact of the Budget changes and if/how US electoral rhetoric will translate into policy. As we say in our analysis, uncertainty is virtually endemic now - but how do people feel after the Budget and US Election? Do we have more or less certainty? Will companies feel more confident forecasting and in spending and investing now? #profitwarning #economics #forecasting
