Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BOOTHS where customers can have souvenir photographs taken of themselves apparently with celebrities such as Madonna are among innovations introduced by Photo-Me International to sustain earnings growth, writes John Murray.
The photo-booths operator dislosed a 5 per cent increase in earnings per share to 17.9p for the year to 30 April, despite a slight fall in pre-tax profits to pounds 16.4m ( pounds 17.1m). Profits were lower because of higher depreciation costs. The final dividend is 3.1p, making a total of 4.4p, a 5 per cent rise.
The managing director, David Miller, said that the move into fun machines, such as the ones that produce the celebrity photos, and self-service business card printing were positive investments. He added that the possible introduction of national identity cards - and cheque guarantee and credit cards with photographs - offered opportunities for growth.
