TRADING UPDATE
Interserve, the international support services and construction group, today
provides a trading update in advance of announcing half-year results on 10
August 2011.
* Trading during the first half in line with expectations
* Strong cash generation
* c. GBP1 billion of contract wins announced to date in 2011
The Group is performing in line with the Board's expectations. Cash generation
continues to be strong and operating trends remain consistent with those
described in the Interim Management Statement published on 18 May 2011.
We have announced around GBP1 billion (whole-life value) of contract wins to date
in 2011. Since the May Interim Management Statement we have signed a four-year
total facilities management contract with the Department of Transport, a
further three-year framework agreement with CE Electric, construction projects
at RAF Brize Norton and Leighton Hospital, a five-year framework agreement with
South East Water and several contracts in the UAE with, amongst others, Dubai's
Roads and Transport Authority and at Dubai International Airport.
Chief Executive Adrian Ringrose commented,
"We continue to perform well in a challenging environment and reiterate our
expectation of stable trading in 2011 compared with 2010. Our market
positioning remains strong, both in new business streams, such as the Work
Programme with the Department for Work and Pensions, and in existing markets,
as illustrated by the extension of our long-standing relationship with the
Defence Infrastructure Organisation. We believe that our core global markets of
outsourcing and infrastructure offer attractive opportunities, and our strategy
remains focused on capturing these to deliver our medium-term growth ambitions
at attractive margins."
