Rank’s Pre-Tax Profit Drops
The Rank Organisation has announced that its pre-tax profits have fallen from £444 million in 1995 to 128m in 1996, though turnover is up 10% to £940m. Within the film and entertainment sector, turnover increased by 17% and profit rose by 4%.
These results coincide with news that Rank will be hoping to raise £300m from a major restructuring programme, which will see businesses such as Shearings coach holidays, Precision Industries and Kingston Plantation being sold. The company’s remaining stake in Rank Xerox will also be sold.
