Trading Update
Porvair, the specialist filtration and environmental
technologies group, today issues a trading update ahead of the
publication of its interim results for the six months ended 31 May
2017 on Tuesday 27 June 2017.
Porvair made good progress in the period, achieving revenue
growth of 7%. Profit for the period and earnings per share is
expected to be ahead of the prior year, in line with management
expectations.
Underlying revenue(1) was 11% ahead of the prior period.
Aerospace, US industrial, Seal Analytical and Aluminium filtration
all performed well. The integration of J G Finneran Associates Inc.
("JGF"), acquired on 4 April 2017, has begun and initial trading
has been good. Progress towards commissioning large projects
continues on track with very little revenue recognised compared
with the prior period, as expected. Order books for the balance of
the year are healthy.
In addition to the acquisition of JGF, investments in the period
include planned capital expenditure to provide additional capacity
in the UK and USA. Net cash at 31 May 2017 was close to GBP4.0
million.
On 24 May 2017, the Group agreed new banking facilities on
improved terms. Barclays Bank plc and Svenska Handelsbanken AB
(publ) have provided a revolving credit facility of EUR23 million
for five years.
The interim results will be announced on Tuesday 27 June 2017.
An analyst briefing will be held at 9.30 a.m. that day at Buchanan,
107 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6DN.
Note (1) Underlying revenue: Revenue at constant currency excluding the impact of large projects.
