Meggitt PLC

AGM and Interim Management Statement

Meggitt PLC ("Meggitt" or "the Group"), a leading international company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, today issues the following Interim Management Statement. This statement covers the period from 1 January 2013 to 30 April 2013 and constitutes Meggitt's first 2013 Interim Management Statement as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

At the AGM, Sir Colin Terry, KBE, CB, Chairman of Meggitt PLC will comment:

"The Group delivered further good growth in 2012 despite a slowdown in our civil aftermarket and uncertainty around defence budgets worldwide. Revenues grew 10% in the year, with the civil aerospace and military businesses performing well, and the energy businesses growing by an impressive 45%. Proforma revenues (excluding the effect of M&A) grew by 6%. As a result, the Group achieved underlying profit before tax growth of 12%, and underlying EPS growth of 13%. The full year dividend was raised by 12%, demonstrating our continued confidence in the Group's prospects.

The Group saw excellent operational progress during 2012. The integration of Pacific Scientific Aerospace is now largely complete, and the run-rate synergy target has been further increased to $25m per annum by 2014. Management's continued focus on cash delivered an impressive free cash flow of £180.1m, and we launched our raising the bar initiative which should result in industry-leading levels of quality, delivery and operational efficiency, helping to drive a higher organic growth rate in the long term.

Proforma revenues grew modestly in the first quarter of 2013, and we continue to expect mid-single-digit revenue growth for the year, as advised at the time of the 2012 results in March. As guided, growth will accelerate in the second half reflecting the anticipated recovery in civil aftermarket.

The financial position of the Group remains very strong, and we expect further improvement driven by our ongoing focus on cash generation."
