Interim Management Statement

RNS Number : 0586Z
Sepura PLC
03 February 2014
 



 

SEPURA PLC

("the Company" or "the Group")

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Sepura plc, a leading global provider of mission-critical communications systems, today issues the following Interim Management Statement. This statement, required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, refers to the Group's trading results for the period from 28 September 2013 to 31 January 2014.

Trading update

The positive momentum reported in the Interim Results has continued into the second half of the current financial year. Adjusted operating profit on a constant currency basis for the first nine months of the financial year was materially ahead of the same period last year, reversing the adverse variance reported for the first half of the year. As a result of this momentum the Group remains on track to meet expectations for the full year.

The Group has continued to diversify its sources of revenue, and secured business from a wide range of customers and geographies, including the Philippines, Australia, Brazil, Iraq, Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands.

Key project implementation milestones have been achieved on infrastructure contracts secured during the first half of the year and new contract awards included transportation customers in both Sweden and Malaysia.

Outlook

Trading remains seasonally weighted to the second half of the year and the Group is seeing continued robust demand in the current quarter. This gives the Group confidence that it is on track to meet expectations for the full year even taking into account the investment made in the initial launch phase of the DMR product range which commenced in November.

The Company expects to issue its Preliminary Results Announcement for the period ended 28 March 2014 on 10 June 2014.
