Amazingly quiet It's been sometime since any sort of announcement. Let's hope the 4th qtr report contains the following:
1. A big improvement in cash flow reflecting the majority of spaces added and the seasonal uptick due to kids going back to school.
2. Some evidence of putting a cap on overheads
3. Encouraging guidance regarding:
a. Acquisition/growth plans for 2013
b. How the acquisitions are going to be funded (with reasonably priced debt I hope)
c. Overall margins improving in the more established markets as Edleun continues to provide its superior facilities and programs (compared to the ma and pa alternatives)
Too much to ask for? Hope not because it's going to take this kind of earnings release to get the sp moving up. We've had enough annoucements regarding additional child spaces and Edleun's superior concept but not enough about the real "meat and potatoes" information that the market will respond to.
