LONDON (Alliance News) - DCC PLC on Thursday reiterated expectations that it will see operating profit and adjusted earnings per share "very significantly ahead" of the previous year and in line with market expectations for its current year to end-March.
In the year to end-March 2015, DCC reported an operating profit of GBP221.7 million, and adjusted earnings per share of 202.2 pence.
The distribution and logistics company said Thursday its group operating profit for its third quarter to end-December was "very significantly ahead" of the previous year, it said.
DCC said it had seen "excellent growth" in operating profit in each of its DCC Energy, DCC Healthcare and DCC Environmental segments, but more difficult trading conditions in its DCC Technology segment, which continued to be hit by reduced demand for tablet, smartphone and gaming products.
DCC expects to report its full-year results on May 17.
