PRE-CLOSE TRADING UPDATE
UK Mail Group plc today issues the following pre-close trading
update for the half year ending 30 September 2015.
Overall Group performance is in line with our revised
expectations, which take account of the near-term challenges
outlined in our trading statement of 7 August 2015.
Reported Group revenues (for continuing operations) for the
first half increased by some 4% compared with the same period in
the previous year.
In our Parcels business, average daily volumes for the first
half increased by some 8% compared to the same period last year. We
are now achieving improved rates of parcels volumes growth. This
increase continues to be weighted towards B2C customers, related to
the growth in online shopping.
In our Mail business, average daily mail volumes were some 8%
ahead of the same period last year. The Group has recently won a
number of major contracts and has a good pipeline of new
opportunities.
Guy Buswell, Chief Executive Officer of UK Mail, said:
"We are focused on executing the plan we have put in place to
address the recent challenges associated with our Parcels business.
Progress to date has been encouraging and an update on this will be
provided at the interim results in November.
"We remain confident in our medium and long term prospects and
in the operational benefits that our new fully-automated hub will
bring, with a number of significant new customers keen to use our
services as a result of this investment."
The Group intends to report its interim results for the half
year ended 30 September 2015 on 18 November 2015.
