Trading update

Clipper (LSE:CLG), a leading provider of value-added logistics solutions and e-fulfilment to the retail sector, announces an update on trading ahead of its interim results for the six months ended 31 October 2017.

Trading for the first half of the year is in line with the Boards' expectations, with growth in revenue, EBIT and net earnings. The acquisitions of Tesam Distribution and Repairtech during the period have gone well, with both fully integrated and performing in line with our expectations.

The Board remains confident that the combination of continued organic growth in the Group's sectors (particularly e-fulfilment and returns management services), new contract wins and the development of Clicklink will continue to deliver strong performance by the business in the second half.

Clipper's interim results for the six months ended 31 October 2017 will be announced on Thursday 7 December 2017.
