AGM Statement

Armour Group plc ("Armour" or the "Group")

AGM Statement

Armour Group plc, the UK's leading consumer electronics group focused on in-car communication and entertainment and home entertainment markets is holding its Annual General Meeting at 12.00 today. George Dexter, Chief Executive, will make the following statement:-

"Armour's recovery has continued into the new financial year, with the Group profitable on sales that are up 4% year on year after five months of trading. The core UK retail markets for both the automotive and home divisions have been patchy in terms of demand, with sales of our key brands to our major retail customers performing well. However, as expected sales into the independent retail channel within the UK have been more challenging. In export markets, the Group's sales in both divisions have delivered good year on year growth, with existing customers expanding their business and new markets being opened up. This export sales growth reflects our strategy of broadening the Group's international reach.

The Group continues to progress its recovery and pursue its strategy of focusing on core brands, customers, investing for the future and developing international markets."
