Seven West downgrades profit forecast

Max Mason

Seven West Media has blamed a soft advertising market and uncertainty surrounding the federal election for a lower than expected profit.

On Tuesday Seven warned it now expected earnings before interest and tax in 2018-19 to fall to between $210 million and $220 million, from last year's result of $235.6 million. That suggests a fall of 7 per cent to 11 per cent. The Perth-based company had previously forecast EBIT growth to come in between zero per cent and 5 per cent.
