Group continues to perform well; trading in-line with expectations, outlook remains positive
The Board of Servelec Group plc ("Servelec") is pleased to publish its interim management statement for the three months to 31 March 2014.
Group
Both the Healthcare and Automation divisions continue to trade in-line with market expectations.
Healthcare
Servelec Healthcare has enjoyed healthy trading during the period. We have been nominated as preferred bidder on the majority of the projects which have been announced across London & the South of England and also in the North. We continue to invest in our products and are seeing positive signs of early adoption of RiO v7 which will be going live in the first of the "Camden Trusts" during the third quarter of this year.
The levels of order entry in Healthcare are in-line with expectations and we are confident that our best-in-class products combined with our very strong market position means the healthcare business will continue the positive momentum.
Automation
Our business continues to trade in-line with market expectations. There has been a slight delay with a small number of the large Oil & Gas and Power capital projects with which we are involved, but those orders are still expected to come through in this financial year. These delays being offset by further consultancy work and a strong performance from Servelec Technologies. We remain very confident about the long term growth drivers, with the outlook for order entry improving.
Financial position
The company continues to be in a strong financial position with increased cash reserves as the roll out of RiO (R2) in London and the South releases the WIP which had accrued under the NPfIT contract.
Alan Stubbs, CEO of Servelec Group, said: "We are pleased with the continued progress and momentum we have shown. The Healthcare division and our Automation division have both performed in accordance with our expectation illustrating the quality of our product offering and strong market position."
