Interim Management Statement

12 July 2012

Fenner PLC ("Fenner" or "the Group")

Interim Management Statement

Fenner today issues the following Interim Management Statement, which covers the period from 1 March 2012 to date.

Current Trading

The Group has continued to make solid progress during the period, achieving revenue and earnings in line with expectations.

The Engineered Conveyor Solutions ("ECS") division continued to operate at high levels of factory utilisation and operating margins were in line with previous run rates. Notwithstanding strong demand in other regions, ECS has experienced some slowing of order rates from the US coal market as our customers align output with consumption in the wake of an exceptionally mild winter and uneconomic shale gas pricing. There are already early signs that coal stockpiles are returning to more normal levels with a recovery in US natural gas prices, and of an increase in US coal export activity. Our capital investment programmes are proceeding according to plan and will bring welcome additional capacity to operations in The Netherlands and Australia in spring 2013.

Our Advanced Engineered Products division has continued to perform in line with expectations, experiencing seasonally higher operating margins as we progress through our second half period.

On 18 May 2012 the Group completed the refinancing of its operating bank facilities with a £100m five year revolving credit line with its primary banks. The strong balance sheet and satisfactory gearing level will enable us to continue to pursue our accelerating organic and acquisitive growth plans.

Outlook

Overall, recent trading supports our confidence in meeting our expectations for the full year.
