REDDE NORTHGATE PLC
("Group")
AGM Statement
Redde Northgate plc (LSE:REDD), the leading integrated mobility solutions
platform, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.30am today at the offices
of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governor's House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill,
London, EC4R 0BR.
At the meeting the following statement will be made:
Current Trading
In the first five months of FY2021 the Group has seen sequential monthly
improvements in trading, with a recovery in VOH to slightly above pre-COVID
levels, strong used vehicle prices and disposal profits, but slower recovery
than expected in Redde volumes due to several factors including local and
regional lockdowns.
Absent a deeper or more prolonged impact of COVID-19 than currently expected,
the Board is comfortable with the consensus of FY2021 analyst forecasts that
have been updated since April 2020.
Dividend
Shareholders are being asked today to approve a final dividend of 6.8 pence per
share, which will be paid on 3 November 2020, to those shareholders on the
register at close of business on 25 September 2020. This dividend, if approved,
will result in a total ordinary dividend payable in respect of the year ended
30 April 2020 of 13.1 pence per share.
Interim results
The Group will announce its interim results for the six months ended 31 October
2020 in early December 2020.
Merger Integration
Notwithstanding the continued COVID environment, the integration plan continues
to perform well against the increased targets announced in our preliminary
results on 16 September 2020 and the launch of our new incident and accident
service into the Northgate customer base is well advanced. Our stated strategy
to deliver increased products and services through an integrated mobility
service platform is gaining good traction and we are progressing the
integration of the business and assets purchased from Nationwide Accident
Repair Services which will now trade as FMG Repair Services.
